Transitions make every app more attractive to the users. They add exciting details, make rendering smoother, and make changes to the UI more comprehensible. With modern CSS, we can add transitions to any element we like. Vue dedicates an entire component to transitions.

The <transition> component

The <transition> component is built-in and allows us to add transitions to every component. It adds CSS classes to the content defined in the default slot by default. Let’s look at a simple example of using the <transition> component that has all default values.

<template>
  <div>
    <transition>
      <div> <!-- This element will be animated -->
      </div>
    </transition>
  </div>
</template>

The <transition> component offers several props with which we can steer its behavior:
