# Enter/Exit Transition
You can use [transition](../reference/apis-arkui/arkui-ts/ts-transition-animation-component.md), a basic component transition API, to animate the process in which a component enters or exits the view. You can even use it with [TransitionEffect](../reference/apis-arkui/arkui-ts/ts-transition-animation-component.md#transitioneffect10) to up your animation game.
**Table 1** Transition effect APIs
| API| Description| Animation|
| -------- | -------- | -------- |
| IDENTITY | Disables the transition effect.| None.|
| OPACITY | Applies the default opacity transition effect.| The component enters by changing the opacity from 0 to 1 and exits by changing the opacity from 1 to 0.|
| SLIDE | Applies a sliding transition effect.| The component enters by sliding in from the left edge of the window and exits by sliding out from the right edge of the window.|
| translate | Applies a translation transition effect.| The component enters by moving from the position set by the **translate** API to the default position (value **0**), and exits by moving from the default position (value **0**) to the position set by the **translate** API.|
| rotate | Applies a rotation transition effect.| The component enters by rotating from the position set by the **rotate** API to the default position (value **0**), and exits by rotating from the default position (value **0**) to the position set by the **rotate** API.|
| opacity | Applies an opacity transition effect.| The component enters by changing the opacity from the set value to **1** (default value) and exits by changing the opacity from **1** to the set value.|
| move | Applies a transition effect by specifying which edge the component slides in and out of through [TransitionEdge](../reference/apis-arkui/arkui-ts/ts-transition-animation-component.md#transitionedge10).| The component enters by sliding in from the edge specified by **TransitionEdge** and exits by sliding out of the same edge.|
| asymmetric | Applies an asymmetric transition effect.
- **appear**: enter transition effect.
- **disappear**: exit transition effect.| The component enters by applying the transition effect specified by **appear** and exits by applying the transition effect specified by **disappear**.|
| combine | Combines with other transition effects.| The component enters and exits by combing with other transition effects.|
| animation | Defines the animation settings for the transition effect.
- If animation settings are not specified here, the animation settings of **animateTo** will be used.
- Animation settings cannot be configured through the **animation** API of the component.
- The **onFinish** callback of the **animation** parameter in **TransitionEffect** does not take effect.| The API call sequence is from top to bottom. This means that the **animation** settings of **TransitionEffect** at the upper level also take effect on **TransitionEffect** at the lower level .|
1. Create a **TransitionEffect** object.
```ts
// The component enters by applying all enter transition effects and exits by applying all exit transition effects.
// Define the animation settings for each transition effect.
private effect: object =
TransitionEffect.OPACITY // Apply an opacity transition effect. As the animation API is not called here, the animation settings of animateTo are used.
// Apply a scaling transition effect and specify springMotion (0.6, 1.2) as the curve.
.combine(TransitionEffect.scale({ x: 0, y: 0 }).animation({ curve: curves.springMotion(0.6, 1.2) }))
// Apply a rotation transition effect, whose animation settings follow TransitionEffect above, that is, springMotion (0.6, 1.2).
.combine(TransitionEffect.rotate({ angle: 90 }))
// Apply a translation transition effect, whose animation settings follow TransitionEffect above, that is, springMotion (0.6, 1.2).
.combine(TransitionEffect.translate({ x: 150, y: 150 })
// Apply a move transition effect and specify springMotion as the curve.
.combine(TransitionEffect.move(TransitionEdge.END)).animation({curve: curves.springMotion()}))
// Apply an asymmetric transition effect. As the animation API is not called here, the animation settings follow TransitionEffect above, that is, springMotion.
.combine(TransitionEffect.asymmetric(TransitionEffect.scale({ x: 0, y: 0 }), TransitionEffect.rotate({ angle: 90 })));
```
2. Set the transition effects to the component by calling [transition](../reference/apis-arkui/arkui-ts/ts-transition-animation-component.md).
```ts
Text('test')
.transition(this.effect)
```
3. Add or delete the component to trigger transition.
```ts
@State isPresent: boolean = true;
...
if (this.isPresent) {
Text('test')
.transition(this.effect)
}
...
// Control the addition or deletion of the component.
// Method 1: Place the control variable in the animateTo closure. In this case, the transition effect for which the animation API is not call will follow the animation settings of animateTo.
animateTo({ curve: curves.springMotion() }, () => {
this.isPresent = false;
})
// Method 2: Directly delete or add the component. In this case, the transition effects follow the animation settings specified by animation.
this.isPresent = false;
```
Below is the complete sample code and effect. In the example, the transition is triggered by deleting or adding a component. It can also be triggered by changing the variables in the **animateTo** closure.
```ts
import { curves } from '@kit.ArkUI';
@Entry
@Component
struct TransitionEffectDemo {
@State isPresent: boolean = false;
// Step 1: Create a TransitionEffect object.
private effect: TransitionEffect =
// Apply the default opacity transition effect and specify springMotion (0.6, 0.8) as the curve.
TransitionEffect.OPACITY.animation({ curve: curves.springMotion(0.6, 0.8) })
// Combine with a scale transition effect, whose animation settings follow TransitionEffect above, that is, springMotion(0.6, 0.8).
.combine(TransitionEffect.scale({ x: 0, y: 0 }))
// Apply a rotation transition effect, whose animation settings follow TransitionEffect above, that is, springMotion(0.6, 0.8).
.combine(TransitionEffect.rotate({ angle: 90 }))
// Apply a translation transition effect, whose animation settings are specified by animation, which is springMotion().
.combine(TransitionEffect.translate({ y: 150 }).animation({ curve: curves.springMotion() }))
// Apply a movement transition effect, whose animation settings follow TransitionEffect above, that is, springMotion().
.combine(TransitionEffect.move(TransitionEdge.END))
build() {
Stack() {
if (this.isPresent) {
Column() {
Text('ArkUI')
.fontWeight(FontWeight.Bold)
.fontSize(20)
.fontColor(Color.White)
}
.justifyContent(FlexAlign.Center)
.width(150)
.height(150)
.borderRadius(10)
.backgroundColor(0xf56c6c)
// Step 2: Set the transition effects to the component through the transition API.
.transition(this.effect)
}
// Border
Column()
.width(155)
.height(155)
.border({
width: 5,
radius: 10,
color: Color.Black
})
// Step 3: Add or delete the component to trigger transition.
Button('Click')
.margin({ top: 320 })
.onClick(() => {
this.isPresent = !this.isPresent;
})
}
.width('100%')
.height('60%')
}
}
```
When adding transition effects to multiple components, you can configure different **delay** values in animation parameters of these effects so that the components exit one by one.
```ts
const ITEM_COUNTS = 9;
const ITEM_COLOR = '#ED6F21';
const INTERVAL = 30;
const DURATION = 300;
@Entry
@Component
struct Index1 {
@State isGridShow: boolean = false;
private dataArray: number[] = new Array(ITEM_COUNTS);
aboutToAppear(): void {
for (let i = 0; i < ITEM_COUNTS; i++) {
this.dataArray[i] = i;
}
}
build() {
Stack() {
if (this.isGridShow) {
Grid() {
ForEach(this.dataArray, (item: number, index: number) => {
GridItem() {
Stack() {
Text((item + 1).toString())
}
.size({ width: 50, height: 50 })
.backgroundColor(ITEM_COLOR)
.transition(TransitionEffect.OPACITY
.combine(TransitionEffect.scale({ x: 0.5, y: 0.5 }))
// Add delay to the transition of each grid cell so that the grid cells exit one by one.
.animation({ duration: DURATION, curve: Curve.Friction, delay: INTERVAL * index }))
.borderRadius(10)
}
// When the grid cells exit, the exit transition effect does not take effect if the transition effect is not added to the parent component.
// Here the parent component of the grid cells is configured to always display with a 0.99 opacity when the cells exit. In this way, the transition effect of grid cells is not affected.
.transition(TransitionEffect.opacity(0.99))
}, (item: number) => item.toString())
}
.columnsTemplate('1fr 1fr 1fr')
.rowsGap(15)
.columnsGap(15)
.size({ width: 180, height: 180 })
// When the grid cells exit, the exit transition effect does not take effect if the transition effect is not added to the parent component.
// Here the parent component of the grid cells is configured to always display with a 0.99 opacity when the cells exit. In this way, the transition effect of grid cells is not affected.
.transition(TransitionEffect.opacity(0.99))
}
}
.size({ width: '100%', height: '100%' })
.onClick(() => {
animateTo({
duration: DURATION + INTERVAL * (ITEM_COUNTS - 1),
curve: Curve.Friction
}, () => {
this.isGridShow = !this.isGridShow;
})
})
}
}
```
