To install the React Transition Group library, you typically add the core package to your project using a package manager like npm or yarn. Additionally, if you are using TypeScript, you will need to install its corresponding type definitions.
## Installation Steps
Here are the common steps to add React Transition Group to your project:
### 1. Install the Core Library Package
The main `react-transition-group` package contains the components you will use for managing transitions.
You can install it using **npm**:
```bash
npm install react-transition-group
Or using yarn:
yarn add react-transition-group
This command downloads the library and adds it as a dependency in your project's package.json
file.
2. Install Type Definitions (For TypeScript Users)
If your project uses TypeScript, you will also need the type definitions for react-transition-group
. These types enable better autocompletion, static analysis, and error checking within your TypeScript code.
Based on the provided information regarding the type definitions:
- Package Name:
@types/react-transition-group
- Summary: This package contains type definitions for react-transition-group (https://github.com/reactjs/react-transition-group).
You can install these types using npm:
npm install --save @types/react-transition-group
Note: Using --save
or --save-dev
(-D
) is common, as type definitions are typically developer dependencies.
Or using yarn:
yarn add -D @types/react-transition-group
Installing the @types
package is crucial for a smooth development experience when working with React Transition Group in a TypeScript environment.
Summary
In summary, installing React Transition Group involves adding the primary library package via npm or yarn. For projects leveraging TypeScript, an additional step is required to install the @types/react-transition-group
package to provide necessary type information.
