## Install

```
$ npm install react-overdrive --save
```

## Usage

### Example with routing

Wrap any element (not just images) in a `<Overdrive id=""></Overdrive>` component. Add the same `id` to create a transition between the elements.

On `page1.js`:
```js
import Overdrive from 'react-overdrive'

const pageA = (props) => (
  <div>
    <h1>Page A</h1>
    <Overdrive id="bender-to-big-fry">
      <img src="bender.png" width="100" height="100"/>
    </Overdrive>
  </div>
);
```

On `page2.js`:
```js
import Overdrive from 'react-overdrive'

const pageB = (props) => (
  <div>
    <h1>Page B</h1>
    <Overdrive id="bender-to-big-fry">
      <img src="fry.png" width="300" height="300"/>
    </Overdrive>
  </div>
);
```

Now route between the pages.

### Example without routing

On `page.js`:
```js
import Overdrive from 'react-overdrive'

const page = (props) => (
  <div>
    {props.loading && <Overdrive id="content"><Loader/></Overdrive>}
    {!props.loading && <Overdrive id="content"><Content/></Overdrive>}
  </div>
);
```

## API

| Prop           | Description                                                                                                                  | Default Value |
|----------------|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|---------------|
| id             | Required. A unique string to identify the component.                                                                         |               |
| element        | Wrapping element type.                                                                                                       | 'div'         |
| duration       | Animation duration (in milliseconds).                                                                                        | 200           |
| easing         | Animation easing function.                                                                                                   | ''            |
| animationDelay | Add delay of calculating the mounted component position. Setting to `1` usually helps avoiding issues with window scrolling. | null          |
| onAnimationEnd | Event dispatched when the animation has finished.                                                                            | null          |

## How does it work?

A transition is made when an `<Overdrive id="example"/>` component is unmounted and another `<Overdrive id="example"/>` is mounted not later than 100ms.

The transition is made by cloning the unmounted and mounted components, adding them with `absolute` position and CSS transformed from the source to the target position.
