Native Transitions Plugin for Apache Cordova
Emulating transitions are a thing of the past, you can now use real native page transitions directly from your JavaScript!
You can read the full blog post here.
Live demo
See this plugin working in a live app: http://playadds.com
Install
Latest published version on npm (with Cordova CLI >= 5.0.0)
cordova plugin add cordova-plugin-native-transitions
Latest version from GitHub
cordova plugin add https://github.com/leecrossley/cordova-plugin-native-transitions.git
You do not need to reference any JavaScript, the Cordova plugin architecture will add a nativetransitions object to your root automatically when you build.
PhoneGap build
Add the following to your config.xml
to use version 0.1.4 (you can also omit the version attribute to always use the latest version). You should now use the npm source:
<gap:plugin name="cordova-plugin-native-transitions" version="0.2.3" source="npm" />
For more information, see the PhoneGap build docs.
Transitions
Flip
var duration = 0.5, // animation time in seconds
direction = "right"; // animation direction - left | right | top | bottom
nativetransitions.flip(duration, direction, onComplete);
Curl
var duration = 0.5, // animation time in seconds
direction = "down"; // animation direction - up | down
nativetransitions.curl(duration, direction, onComplete);
Fade
var duration = 0.5; // animation time in seconds
nativetransitions.fade(duration, onComplete);
Example
Here's an example of how I suggest you use the plugin in your code, so that you get a realistic transition:
setTimeout(function() {
// Change your html here
}, 50);
nativetransitions.flip(duration, direction);
Platform Support
Currently iOS only (version 5 and higher).
