Instead of applying changes instantaneously, transitions smoothly interpolate the DOM from its current state to the desired target state over a given duration. - -To apply a transition, select elements, call [*selection*.transition](#selection_transition), and then make the desired changes. For example: - -```js -d3.select("body") - .transition() - .style("background-color", "red"); -``` - -Transitions support most selection methods (such as [*transition*.attr](#transition_attr) and [*transition*.style](#transition_style) in place of [*selection*.attr](https://github.com/d3/d3-selection#selection_attr) and [*selection*.style](https://github.com/d3/d3-selection#selection_style)), but not all methods are supported; for example, you must [append](https://github.com/d3/d3-selection#selection_append) elements or [bind data](https://github.com/d3/d3-selection#joining-data) before a transition starts. A [*transition*.remove](#transition_remove) operator is provided for convenient removal of elements when the transition ends. - -To compute intermediate state, transitions leverage a variety of [built-in interpolators](https://github.com/d3/d3-interpolate). [Colors](https://github.com/d3/d3-interpolate#interpolateRgb), [numbers](https://github.com/d3/d3-interpolate#interpolateNumber), and [transforms](https://github.com/d3/d3-interpolate#interpolateTransform) are automatically detected. [Strings](https://github.com/d3/d3-interpolate#interpolateString) with embedded numbers are also detected, as is common with many styles (such as padding or font sizes) and paths. To specify a custom interpolator, use [*transition*.attrTween](#transition_attrTween), [*transition*.styleTween](#transition_styleTween) or [*transition*.tween](#transition_tween). - -## Installing - -If you use npm, `npm install d3-transition`. You can also download the [latest release on GitHub](https://github.com/d3/d3-transition/releases/latest). For vanilla HTML in modern browsers, import d3-transition from Skypack: - -```html - -``` - -For legacy environments, you can load d3-transition’s UMD bundle from an npm-based CDN such as jsDelivr; a `d3` global is exported: - -```html - - - - - - - - -``` - -[Try d3-transition in your browser.](https://observablehq.com/collection/@d3/d3-transition) - -## API Reference - -* [Selecting Elements](#selecting-elements) -* [Modifying Elements](#modifying-elements) -* [Timing](#timing) -* [Control Flow](#control-flow) -* [The Life of a Transition](#the-life-of-a-transition) - -### Selecting Elements - -Transitions are derived from [selections](https://github.com/d3/d3-selection) via [*selection*.transition](#selection_transition). You can also create a transition on the document root element using [d3.transition](#transition). - -# selection.transition([name]) · [Source](https://github.com/d3/d3-transition/blob/master/src/selection/transition.js) - -Returns a new transition on the given *selection* with the specified *name*. If a *name* is not specified, null is used. The new transition is only exclusive with other transitions of the same name. - -If the *name* is a [transition](#transition) instance, the returned transition has the same id and name as the specified transition. If a transition with the same id already exists on a selected element, the existing transition is returned for that element. Otherwise, the timing of the returned transition is inherited from the existing transition of the same id on the nearest ancestor of each selected element. Thus, this method can be used to synchronize a transition across multiple selections, or to re-select a transition for specific elements and modify its configuration. For example: - -```js -const t = d3.transition() - .duration(750) - .ease(d3.easeLinear); - -d3.selectAll(".apple").transition(t) - .style("fill", "red"); - -d3.selectAll(".orange").transition(t) - .style("fill", "orange"); -``` - -If the specified *transition* is not found on a selected node or its ancestors (such as if the transition [already ended](#the-life-of-a-transition)), the default timing parameters are used; however, in a future release, this will likely be changed to throw an error.

If a name is not specified, null is used. - -Interrupting a transition on an element has no effect on any transitions on any descendant elements. For example, an [axis transition](https://github.com/d3/d3-axis) consists of multiple independent, synchronized transitions on the descendants of the axis [G element](https://www.w3.org/TR/SVG/struct.html#Groups) (the tick lines, the tick labels, the domain path, *etc.*). To interrupt the axis transition, you must therefore interrupt the descendants: - -```js -selection.selectAll("*").interrupt(); -``` - -The [universal selector](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/Universal_selectors), `*`, selects all descendant elements. If you also want to interrupt the G element itself: - -```js -selection.interrupt().selectAll("*").interrupt(); -``` - -# d3.interrupt(node[, name]) · [Source](https://github.com/d3/d3-transition/blob/master/src/interrupt.js) - -Interrupts the active transition of the specified *name* on the specified *node*, and cancels any pending transitions with the specified *name*, if any.

Note that these are *not* native DOM events as implemented by [*selection*.on](https://github.com/d3/d3-selection#selection_on) and [*selection*.dispatch](https://github.com/d3/d3-selection#selection_dispatch), but transition events! - -The type may be optionally followed by a period (`.`) and a name; the optional name allows multiple callbacks to be registered to receive events of the same type, such as `start.foo` and `start.bar`. To specify multiple typenames, separate typenames with spaces, such as `interrupt end` or `start.foo start.bar`. - -When a specified transition event is dispatched on a selected node, the specified *listener* will be invoked for the transitioning element, being passed the current datum (*d*), the current index (*i*), and the current group (*nodes*), with *this* as the current DOM element. Listeners always see the latest datum for their element, but the index is a property of the selection and is fixed when the listener is assigned; to update the index, re-assign the listener. - -If an event listener was previously registered for the same *typename* on a selected element, the old listener is removed before the new listener is added. To remove a listener, pass null as the *listener*. To remove all listeners for a given name, pass null as the *listener* and `.foo` as the *typename*, where `foo` is the name; to remove all listeners with no name, specify `.` as the *typename*. - -If a *listener* is not specified, returns the currently-assigned listener for the specified event *typename* on the first (non-null) selected element, if any. If multiple typenames are specified, the first matching listener is returned. - -# transition.each(function) · [Source](https://github.com/d3/d3-selection/blob/master/src/selection/each.js) - -Invokes the specified *function* for each selected element, passing in the current datum (*d*), the current index (*i*), and the current group (*nodes*), with *this* as the current DOM element. This method can be used to invoke arbitrary code for each selected element, and is useful for creating a context to access parent and child data simultaneously. Equivalent to [*selection*.each](https://github.com/d3/d3-selection#selection_each). - -# transition.call(function[, arguments…]) · [Source](https://github.com/d3/d3-selection/blob/master/src/selection/call.js) - -Invokes the specified *function* exactly once, passing in this transition along with any optional *arguments*. Returns this transition. This is equivalent to invoking the function by hand but facilitates method chaining. For example, to set several attributes in a reusable function: - -```js -function color(transition, fill, stroke) { - transition - .style("fill", fill) - .style("stroke", stroke); -} -``` - -Now say: - -```js -d3.selectAll("div").transition().call(color, "red", "blue"); -``` - -This is equivalent to: - -```js -color(d3.selectAll("div").transition(), "red", "blue"); -``` - -Equivalent to [*selection*.call](https://github.com/d3/d3-selection#selection_call). - -# transition.empty() · [Source](https://github.com/d3/d3-selection/blob/master/src/selection/empty.js) - -Returns true if this transition contains no (non-null) elements. Equivalent to [*selection*.empty](https://github.com/d3/d3-selection#selection_empty). - -# transition.nodes() · [Source](https://github.com/d3/d3-selection/blob/master/src/selection/nodes.js) - -Returns an array of all (non-null) elements in this transition. Equivalent to [*selection*.nodes](https://github.com/d3/d3-selection#selection_nodes). - -# transition.node() · [Source](https://github.com/d3/d3-selection/blob/master/src/selection/node.js) - -Returns the first (non-null) element in this transition. If the transition is empty, returns null. Equivalent to [*selection*.node](https://github.com/d3/d3-selection#selection_node). - -# transition.size() · [Source](https://github.com/d3/d3-selection/blob/master/src/selection/size.js) - -Returns the total number of elements in this transition. Equivalent to [*selection*.size](https://github.com/d3/d3-selection#selection_size). - -### The Life of a Transition - -Immediately after creating a transition, such as by [*selection*.transition](#selection_transition) or [*transition*.transition](#transition_transition), you may configure the transition using methods such as [*transition*.delay](#transition_delay), [*transition*.duration](#transition_duration), [*transition*.attr](#transition_attr) and [*transition*.style](#transition_style). Methods that specify target values (such as *transition*.attr) are evaluated synchronously; however, methods that require the starting value for interpolation, such as [*transition*.attrTween](#transition_attrTween) and [*transition*.styleTween](#transition_styleTween), must be deferred until the transition starts. - -Shortly after creation, either at the end of the current frame or during the next frame, the transition is scheduled. At this point, the delay and `start` event listeners may no longer be changed; attempting to do so throws an error with the message “too late: already scheduled” (or if the transition has ended, “transition not found”). - -When the transition subsequently starts, it interrupts the active transition of the same name on the same element, if any, dispatching an `interrupt` event to registered listeners. (Note that interrupts happen on start, not creation, and thus even a zero-delay transition will not immediately interrupt the active transition: the old transition is given a final frame. Use [*selection*.interrupt](#selection_interrupt) to interrupt immediately.) The starting transition also cancels any pending transitions of the same name on the same element that were created before the starting transition. The transition then dispatches a `start` event to registered listeners. This is the last moment at which the transition may be modified: the transition’s timing, tweens, and listeners may not be changed when it is running; attempting to do so throws an error with the message “too late: already running” (or if the transition has ended, “transition not found”). The transition initializes its tweens immediately after starting. - -During the frame the transition starts, but *after* all transitions starting this frame have been started, the transition invokes its tweens for the first time. Batching tween initialization, which typically involves reading from the DOM, improves performance by avoiding interleaved DOM reads and writes. +A transition is a [selection](https://github.com/d3/d3-selection)-like interface for animating changes to the DOM. Instead of applying changes instantaneously, transitions smoothly interpolate the DOM from its current state to the desired target state over a given duration. -For each frame that a transition is active, it invokes its tweens with an [eased](#transition_ease) *t*-value ranging from 0 to 1. Within each frame, the transition invokes its tweens in the order they were registered. +## Resources -When a transition ends, it invokes its tweens a final time with a (non-eased) *t*-value of 1. It then dispatches an `end` event to registered listeners. This is the last moment at which the transition may be inspected: after ending, the transition is deleted from the element, and its configuration is destroyed. (A transition’s configuration is also destroyed on interrupt or cancel.) Attempting to inspect a transition after it is destroyed throws an error with the message “transition not found”. +- [Documentation](https://d3js.org/d3-transition) +- [Examples](https://observablehq.com/collection/@d3/d3-transition) +- [Releases](https://github.com/d3/d3-transition/releases) +- [Getting help](https://d3js.org/community)
