CSS animation when adding new elements to the DOM

When LV change-detection results in new elements rendered, what is the recommended way to do that?

Is this OK? (works, but not sure if right way to do it)

defmodule TestlvtransitionsWeb.MyLive do
  use TestlvtransitionsWeb, :live_view

  def render(assigns) do
    ~H"""
    <style>
      @keyframes fadein {
        from { opacity: 0.2; }
        to { opacity: 1; }
      }
      .new-box { animation: fadein 1000ms linear; }
    </style>
    <div phx-click="show1">SHOW 1</div>
    <div phx-click="show2">SHOW 2</div>
    <div :if={@show1} class="bg-red-500 fadein">HELLO</div>
    <div :if={@show2} class="bg-red-500 fadein">HELLO</div>
    """
  end

  def mount(_, _, socket), do: {:ok, assign(socket, show1: false, show2: false)}

  def handle_event("show1", _, socket), do: {:noreply, assign(socket, :show1, true)}
  def handle_event("show2", _, socket), do: {:noreply, assign(socket, :show2, true)}
end

This code snippet by Sebb using phx-mounted and JS.transition should work. It currently doesn’t because of a bug in phoenix_live_view.js, for which I’ve submitted a bug report.

If that gets patched, it’s probably the simplest solution given a LiveView/Tailwind tech stack.

yep forget what I said, I just looked and I’m actually using phx-mounted + JS.show as well.. I’m having a strong déjà vu feeling of having gone through all this already :laughing:

Here’s what works for me:

 <div
            id={elem.id}
            class="hidden"
            phx-mounted={
              JS.show(transition: {"ease-in duration-500", "opacity-0", "opacity-100"}, time: 500)
            }
          >
Hello
</div>

Basically, exactly like your solution. I guess thre’s something broken with phx-mounted={JS.transistion(...)} after all. :broken_heart:

I cant wrap my head around how to reliable use JS hooks to animate. There are some unintuitive things happening when animating stuffs and mixing JS hooks with server rendering :neutral_face: problem is probably on my end, but still

Unless I’m mistaken, transitions with JS functions are altogether broken except when using JS.show and maybe JS.hide.

By “broken”, I mean to say that the start and end classes are not applied at the correct times.

I could be wrong, but I’ve spent hours trying many different things to make it work without success.
