Built-in Transitions

Svelte ships several transitions in svelte/transition: fade, fly, slide, scale, blur, draw.

Import a Transition

Bring in the ones you need.

import { fade, fly } from "svelte/transition";

Attach with transition:

Apply with transition: on an element controlled by {#if}.

{#if visible}
  <p transition:fade>Hello</p>
{/if}

Fly Transition

The fly transition moves elements from a coordinate offset to position.

{#if visible}
  <div transition:fly={{ x: -200, duration: 400 }}>Slide in</div>
{/if}

Parameters Object

Pass options like x, y, duration, delay, and easing.

When Triggers Fire

Transitions run on mount and unmount of the element inside {#if}, {#each}, or {#await} blocks.

Combine Transitions

Apply one transition per directive. Use in: and out: for asymmetric.

Smooth UX

Transitions make UI feel polished without writing keyframes manually.

Performance

Built-in transitions use CSS where possible for GPU acceleration.

Reduced Motion

Respect prefers-reduced-motion by conditionally applying transitions.

Easing

Pass an easing function from svelte/easing for fancier motion.

import { cubicOut } from "svelte/easing";
<p transition:fade={{ easing: cubicOut }}>...</p>
