<TransitionGroup>
is a built-in component designed for animating the insertion, removal, and order change of elements or components that are rendered in a list.
<TransitionGroup>
supports the same props, CSS transition classes, and JavaScript hook listeners as <Transition>
, with the following differences:
-
By default, it doesn't render a wrapper element. But you can specify an element to be rendered with the
tag
prop. -
Transition modes are not available, because we are no longer alternating between mutually exclusive elements.
-
Elements inside are always required to have a unique
key
attribute. -
CSS transition classes will be applied to individual elements in the list, not to the group / container itself.
:::tip
When used in DOM templates, it should be referenced as <transition-group>
.

Here is an example of applying enter / leave transitions to a v-for
list using <TransitionGroup>
:
<TransitionGroup name="list" tag="ul">
<li v-for="item in items" :key="item">
{{ item }}
</li>
</TransitionGroup>
.list-enter-active,
.list-leave-active {
transition: all 0.5s ease;
}
.list-enter-from,
.list-leave-to {
opacity: 0;
transform: translateX(30px);
}
The above demo has some obvious flaws: when an item is inserted or removed, its surrounding items instantly "jump" into place instead of moving smoothly. We can fix this by adding a few additional CSS rules:
.list-move, /* apply transition to moving elements */
.list-enter-active,
.list-leave-active {
transition: all 0.5s ease;
}
.list-enter-from,
.list-leave-to {
opacity: 0;
transform: translateX(30px);
}
/* ensure leaving items are taken out of layout flow so that moving
animations can be calculated correctly. */
.list-leave-active {
position: absolute;
}
Now it looks much better - even animating smoothly when the whole list is shuffled:
By communicating with JavaScript transitions through data attributes, it's also possible to stagger transitions in a list. First, we render the index of an item as a data attribute on the DOM element:
<TransitionGroup
tag="ul"
:css="false"
@before-enter="onBeforeEnter"
@enter="onEnter"
@leave="onLeave"
>
<li
v-for="(item, index) in computedList"
:key="item.msg"
:data-index="index"
>
{{ item.msg }}
</li>
</TransitionGroup>
Then, in JavaScript hooks, we animate the element with a delay based on the data attribute:
function onEnter(el, done) {
gsap.to(el, {
opacity: 1,
height: '1.6em',
delay: el.dataset.index * 0.15,
onComplete: done
})
}
