No, its NOT a roBOT 🤖, its a 👜 Bag of Tricks!✨
⭐️Please star to support this work⭐️
The bag of tricks provides extensions & support around Astro's view transitions.
A current deployment of tech demos and the documentation can be found at https://events-3bg.pages.dev/
V1.18.5 throws a colorful mix of things into the bag. Most notable is support for Starlight's persisted sidebar state, but also various improvements to the chamber and view transition name encoding. See the changelog for details!
V1.18.4 introduced an updated version of the Inspection Chamber, now packed with new, shiny displays and knobs. The Chamber is steadily maturing, evolving from a cool prototype into a cool, reliable tool.
See your view transitions like never before: examine every detail, reveal, debug, and optimize! Now, drill down into the effects of each pseudo-element introduced by the view transition API and even selectively toggle individual animations to better understand what’s happening!
Summon the Inspection Chamber as a component (<InspectionChamber />) or install The Bag as an integration! and access the Chamber from the devToolbar!
Starlight Support: Ever wanted to see what your Starlight site looks like with view transitions enabled? Follow these steps to get rid of full page loads and make your Starlight site look like a SPA!
The astro-vtbotpackage isn't a monolithic library. Use the components you need and only pay bandwidth for those.

Visit the documentation of the reusable components for detailed information.
<Linter/>: A linter component that helps you identify problems when setting up transitions.
<VtBotDebug/>: A Debugging component that logs the events and their data as they occur.
<ReplacementSwap/>: An alterantive DOM swap(), which preserves elements in the original DOM to avoid reinitialization of iframes or CSS animations.
<LoadIndicator>: Have you ever missed the visual feedback on sites with view transitions as to whether the app has noticed the click? You need a loading indicator! Here you go!
Zoom, <Move> and Swing animations and the <AnimationsStyle/> component allows for extended styling options.
<Portal/> component that forces all view transitions through a portal/loading page.
<NoScroll/> keep the current vertical and horizontal scroll position when transitioning to the next page.
The bag of tricks currently contains several technical demos that show examples of the implementation of various effects using the view transition events.
The sources are in this repository.
Last but not least, the deployment also includes the ▶ Jotter ◀ with a wealth of information on transition events as well as background information and valuable tips & tricks on view transitions in Astro.
Some of the contents are technical demos, some are useful tools, and some are reusable components that you can use in your own project to handle edge cases that go beyond Astro's standard features.
