jQuery implements switching page transition animation effect_jquery

I will directly introduce the production process to you, I hope you will like it.

HTML structure

The HTML structure of this page switching effect uses a

element as the wrapping element of the page. div.cd-cover-layer is used to make the mask layer when the page switches. div.cd-loading-bar is The loading progress bar during ajax loading.

<main>
 <div class="cd-index cd-main-content">
  <div>
   <h1>Page Transition</h1>
   <!-- your content here -->
  </div>
 </div>
</main>
 
<div class="cd-cover-layer"></div> <!-- this is the cover layer -->
 
<div class="cd-loading-bar"></div> <!-- this is the loading bar -->      

CSS style

This page switching effect uses body::before and body::after pseudo-elements to create two mask layers to cover the page content during the page switching process. Their positioning is fixed, with a height equal to 50vh and a width of 100%. By default, they are hidden using the CSS transform property (translateY(-100%)/translateY(100%)). When the user switches pages, these elements are moved back into the viewport (by adding the .page-is-changing class to the element).
The image below demonstrates this process:

Page switching effects

body::after, body::before {
 /* these are the 2 half blocks which cover the content once the animation is triggered */
 height: 50vh;
 width: 100%;
 position: fixed;
 left: 0;
}
body::before {
 top: 0;
 transform: translateY(-100%);
}
body::after {
 bottom: 0;
 transform: translateY(100%);
}
body.page-is-changing::after, body.page-is-changing::before {
 transform: translateY(0);
}       

When the page switches, the fade-in and fade-out effect of the page content is achieved by changing the transparency of div.cd-cover-layer. It overlays the .cd-main-content element with the same background color, and then changes the transparency from 0 to 1 when the is added with the .page-is-changing class.
The Loading progress bar is made using the .cd-loading-bar::before pseudo-element. By default it is scaled down (scaleX(0)) and transform-origin: left center. When the page switch begins it is enlarged to its original size using scaleX(1).

.cd-loading-bar {
 /* this is the loading bar - visible while switching from one page to the following one */
 position: fixed;
 height: 2px;
 width: 90%;
}
.cd-loading-bar::before {
 /* this is the progress bar inside the loading bar */
 position: absolute;
 left: 0;
 top: 0;
 height: 100%;
 width: 100%;
 transform: scaleX(0);
 transform-origin: left center;
}
.page-is-changing .cd-loading-bar::before {
 transform: scaleX(1);
}       

Smooth transition effects in special effects are achieved using CSS Transitions. Different transition-delays are added to each animated element to achieve different element animation sequences.
JAVASCRIPT

The data-type="page-transition" attribute is used on the link in this page switching effect to trigger the page switching event. When the plug-in detects a user click event, the changePage() method will be executed.

$('main').on('click', '[data-type="page-transition"]', function(event){
  event.preventDefault();
  //detect which page has been selected
  var newPage = $(this).attr('href');
  //if the page is not animating - trigger animation
  if( !isAnimating ) changePage(newPage, true);
});        

This method will trigger the page switching animation and load new content through the loadNewContent() method.

function changePage(url, bool) {
  isAnimating = true;
  // trigger page animation
  $('body').addClass('page-is-changing');
  //...
  loadNewContent(url, bool);
  //...
}        

When new content is loaded, it will replace the content in the original

element. The .page-is-changing class is removed from the body and the newly loaded content is added to window.history (using the pushState() method).

function loadNewContent(url, bool) {
  var newSectionName = 'cd-'+url.replace('.html', ''),
   section = $('<div class="cd-main-content '+newSectionName+'"></div>');
    
  section.load(url+' .cd-main-content > *', function(event){
   // load new content and replace <main> content with the new one
    $('main').html(section);
    //...
    $('body').removeClass('page-is-changing');
    //...
 
    if(url != window.location){
     //add the new page to the window.history
     window.history.pushState({path: url},'',url);
    }
 });
}        

In order to trigger the same page switching animation effect when the user clicks the browser's back button, the plug-in listens to the popstate event and executes the changePage() function when it is triggered.

$(window).on('popstate', function() {
  var newPageArray = location.pathname.split('/'),
    //this is the url of the page to be loaded 
    newPage = newPageArray[newPageArray.length - 1];
  if( !isAnimating ) changePage(newPage);
});
