# Transitions

Animate PowerShell Universal app components with New-UDTransition, using collapse, fade, slide, grow, and zoom effects triggered by element state changes.

Transitions allow you to transition components in and out of view within your dashboard using various animations. You can take advantage of interactive cmdlets like `Set-UDElement` to change the transition state and cause an element to move in.

In the following example, we have a card that transitions in via a Fade. Clicking the switch the toggle the card in and out.

```powershell
New-UDTransition -Id 'test' -Content {
    New-UDCard -Text "Hey"
} -In -Fade -Timeout 1000

New-UDSwitch -OnChange {
    Set-UDElement -Id 'test' -Properties @{
        in = $EventData -eq 'True'
    }
} -Checked $true
```

## Collapse

The collapse transition will collapse a section in and out. You can specify a collapse height to only collapse a portion of the section.

```powershell
New-UDTransition -Id 'test' -Content {
    New-UDCard -Text "Hey"
} -In -Collapse -CollapseHeight 100 -Timeout 1000

New-UDSwitch -OnChange {
    Set-UDElement -Id 'test' -Properties @{
        in = $EventData -eq 'True'
    }
} -Checked $true
```

## Fade

A fade transition fades a component in and out as seen in the previous example. You can configure the timeout value to specify the number of seconds it takes to complete the transition.

```powershell
New-UDTransition -Id 'test' -Content {
    New-UDCard -Text "Hey"
} -In -Fade -Timeout 1000

New-UDSwitch -OnChange {
    Set-UDElement -Id 'test' -Properties @{
        in = $EventData -eq 'True'
    }
} -Checked $true
```

## Slide

The slide transition moves a component into position. You can determine the position of the slide by specifying the `-SlideDirection` parameter.

```powershell
New-UDTransition -Id 'test' -Content {
    New-UDCard -Text "Hey"
} -In -Slide -SlideDirection 'left' -Timeout 1000

New-UDSwitch -OnChange {
    Set-UDElement -Id 'test' -Properties @{
        in = $EventData -eq 'True'
    }
} -Checked $true
```

## Grow

The grow transition will fade and grow a component into place.

```powershell
New-UDTransition -Id 'test' -Content {
    New-UDCard -Text "Hey"
} -In -Grow -Timeout 1000

New-UDSwitch -OnChange {
    Set-UDElement -Id 'test' -Properties @{
        in = $EventData -eq 'True'
    }
} -Checked $true
```

## Zoom

The zoom transition will zoom a component into place.

```powershell
New-UDTransition -Id 'test' -Content {
    New-UDCard -Text "Hey"
} -In -Zoom -Timeout 1000

New-UDSwitch -OnChange {
    Set-UDElement -Id 'test' -Properties @{
        in = $EventData -eq 'True'
    }
} -Checked $true
```

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.devolutions.net/powershell-universal/apps/components/utilities/transitions.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
