🙋 Introduction

The transition property in CSS allows you to change property values smoothly (over a given duration). It is commonly used to create animations and enhance user interactions by animating the changes of CSS properties. This makes your web pages more dynamic and engaging.

💡 Syntax

The transition property is a shorthand property for four individual transition properties:

  • transition-property
  • transition-duration
  • transition-timing-function
  • transition-delay
Syntax
Copied
Copy To Clipboard
element {
  transition: property duration timing-function delay;
}

🎛️ Default Value

The default value of the transition property is none 0s ease 0s, which means no transition effect will be applied unless specified.

🏠 Property Values

ValueDescription
transition-propertySpecifies the CSS property to apply the transition to (e.g., width, height, background-color). The default is all, which applies the transition to all properties.
transition-durationSpecifies the duration of the transition. Default is 0s.
transition-timing-functionSpecifies the speed curve of the transition. Default is ease.
  • ease
  • linear
  • ease-in
  • ease-out
  • ease-in-out
  • step-start
  • step-end
transition-delaySpecifies a delay before the transition starts. Default is 0s.

In this example, we'll change the background color of a button with a smooth transition over 0.5 seconds.

      padding: 10px 20px;
      border: none;
      cursor: pointer;
      transition: background-color 0.5s ease;
    }
    button:hover {
      background-color: red;
    }
  </style>
</head>
<body>
  <h1>Button with Background Color Transition</h1>
  <button>Hover over me!</button>
</body>
</html>

🖥️ Browser Compatibility

The transition property is well-supported in modern browsers, including the latest versions of Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge, and Opera. It is always a good practice to test your website across different browsers to ensure compatibility.

🎉 Conclusion

The transition property is a versatile and powerful tool for web developers, enabling the creation of smooth animations and enhancing the user experience.

By specifying transitions for different properties, durations, timing functions, and delays, you can create visually appealing effects that make your web pages more engaging and interactive. Experiment with different combinations and see how the transition property can bring your web projects to life.
