Take a look at this UI animation concept. It includes a Master Detail page where clicking on a card should lead the user to the product detail page.
/products ---> /products/:productId
This functionality applies to all frontend platforms, whether it's Android, iOS, or Web.
The main products page could feature a long list of cards, possibly extending below the screen fold. Implementing these transitions involves simple scaling, translations, and opacity operations.
If routing wasn't a factor in the app, transitioning smoothly across pages would be easy. However, given that we need to establish the product detail page route as /products/:productId, challenges arise.
The issue lies in maintaining smooth transitions during route changes, as the current page and its components are unmounted while the new one is mounted. To achieve the desired animations, it would be ideal to move the component/card outside the dynamic routes hierarchy.
Here's an example:
<Router>
<Card />
<Switch>
<Route path="/products/:productId" component={ProductDetail} />
<Route path="/products" component={Products} />
<Route path="/" component={Home} />
</Switch>
</Router>
In this scenario, the only suitable candidate for seamless transition is the <Card /> component as it remains mounted during route changes.
However, it's crucial not to dismiss the use case of transitioning an item from a lengthy master page list to the detail page. Unfortunately, there seems to be limited resources online outlining the best approach for achieving this seamlessly.
