I've been working on a project to create a smooth transitioning dialog component in React, and I want to share my journey through the process, highlighting key steps and challenges encountered along the way. Part 1: Setting the Foundation In the first part of the series, I laid the groundwork by setting up the component structure. I created a context to manage the state and developed the main dialog component with its header, body, footer, and container. My primary goal was to ensure that the dialog could support minimisation and expansion while being adaptable to content changes. This foundation was…

Part 4: Final Refinements In Part 3, I enhanced the DialogAnimation component to calculate both expanded and minimised dimensions. This approach ensured accurate and visually appealing transitions by using successive render cycles to measure the dimensions. However, it introduced complexity and potential performance issues, particularly causing jank or flicker during the dimension calculation process. Introducing the Invisible Container To tackle the flickering issue, I'm introducing a secondary, invisible container exclusively for dimension calculations. This concept is inspired by techniques used in game development, such as double buffering, blitting, or offscreen rendering. These techniques help manage rendering by performing calculations offscreen…

Part 1: Setting Up the Basic Dialog Component with Minimize/Expand Functionality Welcome to the first part of my four-part series on creating a responsive dialog component in React. In this series, I'll explore different approaches to achieve smooth animation transitions while maintaining the dialog's fluid dimensions. In this initial part, I'll set up the basic dialog component with minimise and expand functionality. Please note that accessibility and responsive design are not included as part of the considerations in this series. The primary focus is on creating a reusable dialog component with smooth animation transitions. This series is part of a…
