transitionBehavior

transitionBehavior lets you determine whether the transition is applied to discrete properties. Defaults to normal which transitions only continuous properties and discards discrete properties.

Reference

function App() {
  return (
    <Animated.View
      style={{
        transitionProperty: 'alignItems',
        transitionDuration: 500,
        transitionBehavior: 'allow-discrete',
      }}
    />
  );
}

Type definitions

type CSSTransitionBehavior = 'normal' | 'allow-discrete';

Values

allow-discrete

Allows transitions to be applied to discrete properties, resulting in delayed changes.

normal

Doesn't allow transitions to be applied to discrete properties, resulting in changes applied immediately.

Remarks

• Discrete style properties (like flexDirection, justifyContent) can't be smoothly animated using the transitionProperty property. For example, you can't animate smoothly from alignItems: start to alignItems: center. You can use Layout Animations to animate discrete style properties instead.

• When using allow-discrete the discrete properties flip between two values at the midpoint of the animation, except for the display property, which is immediately at the moment of the transition start.
