view-transition-class

<custom-ident>

An identifying name that causes the selected element to participate in a separate view transition from the root view transition. The identifier must be unique. If two rendered elements have the same view-transition-name at the same time, ViewTransition.ready will reject and the transition will be skipped.

none

No class would apply to the named view transition pseudo-elements generated for this element.

The view-transition-class value provides a styling hook, similar to a CSS class name, which can be used to apply the same styles to multiple view transition pseudo-elements. It does not mark an element for capturing. Each individual element still needs its own unique view-transition-name; the view-transition-class is only used as an additional way to style elements that already have a view-transition-name. Support for determining the view-transition-name automatically is being discussed in the CSS View Transitions Module Level 2 spec.

The view-transition-class apply styles using the view transition pseudo-elements, including ::view-transition-group(), ::view-transition-image-pair(), ::view-transition-old(), and ::view-transition-new(). This is different from the view-transition-name, which matches view transitions between the element in the old state with its corresponding element in the new state.

Until the view-transition-class property is fully supported in all browsers supporting view transitions, include a custom ::view-transition-group() for each element.
