Steps

1. Install React Transition Group

Install the react-transition-group package:

npm i react-transition-group

If you’re using TypeScript, install the types:

npm install @types/react-transition-group

2. Update Your CSS File

Paste the animation you want from the list below into your index.css file:

.fade-enter{
  opacity: 0;
}
.fade-exit{
  opacity: 1;
}
.fade-enter-active{
  opacity: 1;
}
.fade-exit-active{
  opacity: 0;
}
.fade-enter-active,
.fade-exit-active{
  transition: opacity 500ms;
}

3. Add SwitchTransition and CSSTransition

Wrap the component you want to animate with a SwitchTransition:

{selectedFeature && (
          <SwitchTransition>
            <CSSTransition
            key={selectedFeature.name}
            timeout={500}
              appear={true}
              addEndListener={(node, done) => node.addEventListener("transitionend", done, false)}
              classNames="scale-skew"
            >
              <div className="w-full">
                <div className="mt-4 text-start text-xl flex flex-col">
                  <h2 className="text-2xl font-bold mb-4">
                    {selectedFeature.name}
                  </h2>
                  {selectedFeature.description.map((item, index) => (
                    <div key={index}>{item}</div>
                  ))}
                </div>
              </div>
            </CSSTransition>
          </SwitchTransition>
        )}

Don’t forget to add a unique key to the SwitchTransition component since without it, the animation will loop forever.
