I am making a side bar menu with collapse show/hide. With my current css the collapse is not smooth and it seems force full or looks some weird.
I wanted a slide with smooth transition when the item is being closed. But here in my case what’s happening is when some item is already open and next item is clicked(for open). There it looks like toggle is being forcefully and it does not seems smooth collapsing of the list.
What could be the better approach for this please suggest some better ways.
I don’t know whether my approach is correct or I am missing something here?
new Vue({
el: '#app',
methods: {
setActiveItemId(itemIndex) {
if (itemIndex === this.activeItemId) {
this.activeItemId = ''
return
}
this.activeItemId = itemIndex
}
},
data() {
return {
message: 'Hello Vue.js!',
activeItemId: '',
sideBar: [{

You can use Vue’s List Transitions (the
<transition-group>
tag).Change the sublist
ul
to:Mainly instead of hiding the
<ul>
we are changing thev-for
array to/from empty. Notice I also changed theil
‘s keys, as you were using an invalid prop.And add the following CSS for the transitions:
Updated JSFiddle here. Demo below.
There’s easier solution, try adding this piece of css to your styles.
