Summary

Shared Element Transitions is a proposal for a new script API that allows a
simple set of transitions in both Single-Page Applications (SPAs) and
Multi-Page Applications (MPAs). This feature enhances the visual polish of
pages without requiring a large development effort from developers to make
transitions look nice. By selecting from a set of user-agent implemented
transition effects, the developers can achieve a polished transition look
with minimal effort.

TAG review statusPending

Risks


Interoperability and Compatibility

Low. As a new feature, the risk here is that other browsers do not
implement it, but since this is a progressive enhancement, sites should be
able to drop usage of the feature easily in browsers where it is not
supported.


Gecko: No signal

WebKit: No signal

Web developers: Positive Interest in the feature:
https://twitter.com/jaffathecake/status/1386673316354797570 Main feedback
is requests to provide more customizability and power:
https://github.com/WICG/shared-element-transitions/issues/28
https://github.com/WICG/shared-element-transitions/issues/9

Ergonomics

None.


Activation

Low. As with interop/compat risks, the difficulty stems from this being a
new feature without support in other browsers. A polyfill for the SPA case
would be beneficial, but it will not be possible to polyfill MPA behavior.
That said, dropping the customized transition should not impact the
usability of a site, fundamentally, so this can easily be dropped on
browsers that do not support the feature.


Security

The current implementation handles transitions in Viz in anticipation of
MPA scenarios. More details on this are outlined in the design doc. See
also the security and privacy self-review questionnaire that was completed
as part of the TAG review process:
https://github.com/WICG/shared-element-transitions/blob/main/security-privacy-questionnaire.md


Goals for experimentation

The API shape is currently limited, providing only a stock set of
transition types. We've already seen engagement on the WICG and a desire
for more customization (see web developer response). We hope to learn more
about the utility of the default transition types and experiences partners
would like to create, but are unable to achieve with the limited API (we
have two external partners who have indicated interest). Based on that
feedback, we may make changes to the API to add more customization. We also
want to know how easy it is to adopt this API on an existing site.


Reason this experiment is being extended

We have gathered feedback from partners, but some amendments to the feature
are needed in order for them to utilize the feature. Specifically, easing
function, duration, and delay controls for shared elements is needed to
better animation control. We are working on adding the controls and would
like to extend the experiment. Original experiment start date: M92 Original
experiment end date: M94 Proposed new end date: M96


Ongoing technical constraints

None.


Debuggability

It is possible to set breakpoints inside post-preparation and
post-transition handlers, but beyond this there is no way, presently, to
debug an unexpected transition. Specifically, there currently is no way to
scrub through a transition, or to inspect the shared/transitioned elements.
These are potential areas for improvement if we get developer feedback that
these would be helpful.


Will this feature be supported on all six Blink platforms (Windows, Mac,
Linux, Chrome OS, Android, and Android WebView)?No

Currently no support for Android WebView. WebView presents challenges due
to its rendering architecture.
