20 CSS View Transitions
20 hand-coded View Transitions API patterns covering the browser API that animates between two DOM states. Starts with the core mechanics — document.startViewTransition for single-page apps, the @view-transition at-rule that animates multi-page navigations with no JavaScript at all, setting view-transition-name programmatically for dynamic lists, replacing the default cross-fade with custom keyframes on the old and new pseudo-elements, and transition types for directional forward and back navigation. Then the shared-element morphs people actually build: card to detail page, image grid to lightbox, list reorder and filtering, sliding tab indicators, circular theme reveals, add-to-cart badge counters, accordions, drawers, native dialogs and multi-step wizards. Closes with the debugging pages that matter most — reduced-motion handling, feature detection, aspect-ratio image distortion, nested element isolation, and the duplicate-name bug that silently aborts an entire transition.
