Animate between two visual states with smooth transitions.
---
## Anatomy
```tsx
```
## Examples
### Fade
Swap between two icons with a fade animation. Set the `swap` prop to toggle between the `on` and `off` indicators.
**Example: fade**
```ripple
import { Swap } from 'ark-ripple/swap';
import { Check, X } from 'lucide-ripple';
import { track } from 'ripple';
import styles from 'styles/swap.module.css';
export component Fade() {
let swapped = track(false);
}
```
### Flip
Add a 3D flip effect by setting `perspective` on the root and using `rotateY` keyframes on the indicators.
**Example: flip**
```ripple
import { Swap } from 'ark-ripple/swap';
import { Pause, Play } from 'lucide-ripple';
import { track } from 'ripple';
import styles from 'styles/swap.module.css';
export component Flip() {
let swapped = track(false);
}
```
### Rotate
Rotate the indicators in and out with a spin transition.
**Example: rotate**
```ripple
import { Swap } from 'ark-ripple/swap';
import { Moon, Sun } from 'lucide-ripple';
import { track } from 'ripple';
import styles from 'styles/swap.module.css';
export component Rotate() {
let swapped = track(false);
}
```
### Scale
Scale the indicators up and down for a pop-in effect.
**Example: scale**
```ripple
import { Swap } from 'ark-ripple/swap';
import { Volume2, VolumeX } from 'lucide-ripple';
import { track } from 'ripple';
import styles from 'styles/swap.module.css';
export component Scale() {
let swapped = track(false);
}
```
## Guides
### How It Works
Swap renders two indicators stacked on top of each other in a 1x1 CSS grid. The `swap` prop controls which indicator is
visible. Each indicator uses the presence system, so you get `data-state="open"` and `data-state="closed"` attributes to
drive your CSS animations.
### Animating Indicators
Target `data-state` on each indicator to define enter and exit animations:
```css
.indicator[data-state='open'] {
animation: fade-in 200ms ease-out;
}
.indicator[data-state='closed'] {
animation: fade-out 100ms ease-in;
}
@keyframes fade-in {
from {
opacity: 0;
}
to {
opacity: 1;
}
}
@keyframes fade-out {
from {
opacity: 1;
}
to {
opacity: 0;
}
}
```
You can combine animations for richer effects. For example, scale with fade:
```css
.indicator[data-state='open'] {
animation:
scale-in 200ms ease-out,
fade-in 200ms ease-out;
}
.indicator[data-state='closed'] {
animation:
scale-out 100ms ease-in,
fade-out 100ms ease-in;
}
```
### 3D Flip Animation
For a flip effect, set `perspective` on the root and use `backface-visibility: hidden` on indicators:
```css
.flip-indicator {
backface-visibility: hidden;
}
.flip-indicator[data-state='open'] {
animation: flip-in 400ms ease;
}
.flip-indicator[data-state='closed'] {
animation: flip-out 200ms ease;
}
@keyframes flip-in {
from {
transform: rotateY(180deg);
}
to {
transform: rotateY(0deg);
}
}
@keyframes flip-out {
from {
transform: rotateY(0deg);
}
to {
transform: rotateY(180deg);
}
}
```
### Lazy Mount
Use `lazyMount` and `unmountOnExit` to control when indicators mount and unmount. This keeps the DOM clean when
indicators aren't visible.
```tsx
......
```
