!!! News !!!

v1.0.5 introduces the ability to switch single animations on and off as you navigate through the timeline of view transitions. For example, you can temporarily disable fades while investigating a morph animation or disable morphing to focus on other features of your transition.

This version also includes numerous smaller improvements, moving the Chamber closer to becoming a stable product rather than just a prototype.

For details, see the CHANGELOG

What happened so far:

v1.0.4 improves opening the Chamber on mobiles, adds an explicit close button to the inner panel and fixes some styling issues.

v1.0.3 fixes some teething issues. The main areas affected are:

• Better integration into same-document and cross-document transitions.
• Further optimizations for identifying transition elements on the screen.

@vtbag

The Inspection Chamber is the inaugural tool under the @vtbag umbrella. If the name reminds you of vtbot, that's no coincidence.

When Chrome introduced the (same-document) View Transition API, Astro quickly became an early adopter, offering a client-side router to transform MPAs into smooth SPAs. As a community-driven project, astro-vtbot, the Bag of Tricks for Astro's View Transitions, delivered numerous technical demos, reusable components, and a wealth of information about View Transitions within Astro and the View Transition API at large.

With the View Transition API now being adopted by more browsers and even supporting cross-document navigation, vtbot has evolved. Meet its framework-independent sibling: @vtbag

@vtbag/* is set to provide a treasure trove of useful tools, tips (and of course tricks!) to enhance your experience with View Transitions, no matter which framework you're using, or even if you're using none at all.
