I’m struggling to prevent triggering a transition after switching a tab.

Example

const { createApp, reactive, ref } = Vue;
const app = createApp({
  setup() {      
    // switch tabs to see the side effects
    const currentTabIdx = ref(0);

    const listItems = ref([
      [
        { name: 'John', id: 1 },
        { name: 'Joao', id: 2 },
        { name: 'Jean', id: 3 },
        { name: 'Gerard', id: 4 },
      ],
      [
        { name: 'Max', id: 1 },
        { name: 'Moritz', id: 2 },
        { name: 'Foo', id: 3 },
        { name: 'Mo', id: 4 },
      ],
    ])
    
     function shuffleList() {
      listItems.value[currentTabIdx.value] = listItems.value[currentTabIdx.value].sort(() => Math.random() - 0.5);
    }
    
    return {
      currentTabIdx,
      listItems,
      shuffleList
    }
  }
});

app.component('list-component', {
  props: ['items'],

  template: `
    <ol>
      <transition-group>
        <li
          v-for="(effect, index) in items"
          :key="effect"
        >
          <div class="header">
            <h5>{{ effect.name }}</h5>
          </div>
        </li>
      </transition-group>
    </ol>
  `,
});

app.mount("#app");

li {
  transition: 0.5s;
}

.v-enter-active,
.v-leave-active {
  transition: opacity 0.5s;
}

.v-leave-active {
  position: absolute;
}

.v-enter,
.v-leave-to {
  opacity: 0;
}

<script src="https://unpkg.com/vue@next"></script>
<div id="app">

  <button @click="currentTabIdx=0">Tab 1</button> <!-- SWITCH TABS TO SEE SIDE EFFECTS -->
  <button @click="currentTabIdx=1">Tab 2</button> <!-- SWITCH TABS TO SEE SIDE EFFECTS -->
  | <button @click="shuffleList">Shuffle</button>

  <list-component :items="listItems[currentTabIdx]"></list-component>
  
  
</div>

Problem

The child component with the list and transition-group triggers side effects on tab navigation.

Tried

I have tried to disable the transition on the body with * { transition: none !important; } but than the list duplicates for a second.

Do you have an idea how to prevent the transition group on tab switch but enable it right afterwards?

Here is my current solution to prevent the transition on tab change:

const { createApp, reactive, ref, nextTick } = Vue;
const app = createApp({
  setup() {      

    const currentTabIdx = ref(0);
    
    const preventTransition = ref(true);

    const listItems = ref([
      [
        { name: 'John', id: 1 },
        { name: 'Joao', id: 2 },
        { name: 'Jean', id: 3 },
        { name: 'Gerard', id: 4 },
      ],
      [
        { name: 'Max', id: 1 },
        { name: 'Moritz', id: 2 },
        { name: 'Foo', id: 3 },
        { name: 'Mo', id: 4 },
      ],
    ])
    
    function changeTab (index) {
      preventTransition.value = true;
      currentTabIdx.value = index;
      nextTick(() => {
        preventTransition.value = false;
      });
     };
    
     function shuffleList() {
      listItems.value[currentTabIdx.value] = listItems.value[currentTabIdx.value].sort(() => Math.random() - 0.5);
    }
    
    return {
      currentTabIdx,
      preventTransition,
      listItems,
      changeTab,
      shuffleList,
    }
  }
});

app.component('list-component', {
  props: ['items', 'preventTransition'],

  template: `
    <ol>
      <transition-group :name="preventTransition ? 'show' : 'hide'">
        <li
          v-for="(effect, index) in items"
          :key="effect"
          class="move"
        >
          <div class="header">
            <h5>{{ effect.name }}</h5>
          </div>
        </li>
      </transition-group>
    </ol>
  `,
});

app.mount("#app");

li.move {
  transition: 0.5s;
}

.hide-leave-active {
  display: none;
}

<script src="https://unpkg.com/vue@next"></script>
<div id="app">

  <button @click="changeTab(0)">Tab 1</button> <!-- SWITCH TABS TO SEE SIDE EFFECTS -->
  <button @click="changeTab(1)">Tab 2</button> <!-- SWITCH TABS TO SEE SIDE EFFECTS -->
  | <button @click="shuffleList">Shuffle</button>

  <list-component :items="listItems[currentTabIdx]" :preventTransition="preventTransition"></list-component>
  
  
</div>

Reproduce

parent: create a boolean to switch between named transitions
parent: set to !boolean on tab change
child: use :name
child: hide previous list via display: none

Now we can keep transitions in the child without side effects on tab change.

How to prevent transition on tab change?

Maybe, there’s a best way than preventing it.

If you can prefere this, you need to wrap the list-component with the keep-alive so that that the component is not destroyed and recreated each time the tab changes. As a result, the transition effect is maintained when reordering the list.

const { createApp, reactive, ref, nextTick } = Vue;
const app = createApp({
 setup() { 
 const currentTabIdx = ref(0);

 const listItems = ref([
 [
   { name: 'John', id: 1 },
   { name: 'Joao', id: 2 },
   { name: 'Jean', id: 3 },
   { name: 'Gerard', id: 4 },
 ],
 [
   { name: 'Max', id: 1 },
   { name: 'Moritz', id: 2 },
   { name: 'Foo', id: 3 },
   { name: 'Mo', id: 4 },
 ],
 ])

 function shuffleList() {
 listItems.value[currentTabIdx.value] = listItems.value[currentTabIdx.value].sort(() => Math.random() - 0.5);
 }

 nextTick(() => {
 shuffleList();
 });

 return {
 currentTabIdx,
 listItems,
 shuffleList
 }
 }
});

app.component('list-component', {
 props: ['items'],

 template: `
 <ol>
 <transition-group name="list" tag="ol" mode="out-in">
   <li
     v-for="(effect, index) in items"
     :key="effect.id"
   >
     <div class="header">
       <h5>{{ effect.name }}</h5>
     </div>
   </li>
 </transition-group>
 </ol>
 `,
});

app.mount("#app");

li {
 transition: 0.5s;
}

.list-enter-active,
.list-leave-active {
 transition: opacity 0.5s;
}

.list-leave-active {
 position: absolute;
}

.list-enter,
.list-leave-to {
 opacity: 0;
}

<script src="https://unpkg.com/vue@next"></script>

<div id="app">
 <button @click="currentTabIdx=0">Tab 1</button>
 <button @click="currentTabIdx=1">Tab 2</button>
 <button @click="shuffleList">Shuffle</button>

 <keep-alive>
 <component :is="'list-component'" :items="listItems[currentTabIdx]"></component>
 </keep-alive>
</div>

I use also the nextTick here to delay the call to shuffleList until the next DOM update cycle so that the transition-group applies the transition when the list is rendered.
