Is there a convenient way to add an effect when I leave a page (close a view/layout) and open a new one in the same region ? (something like a fade effect)
Marionette regions have a method called open
that by default just replace the HTML of the old view with the new view. You can override this method to do any animation you like. From the region documentation:
el
Is AttachedIf you need to change how the view is attached to the DOM when
showing a view via a region, override the open
method of the
region. This method receives one parameter - the view to show.
The default implementation of open
is:
Marionette.Region.prototype.open = function(view){
this.$el.html(view.el);
}
This will replace the contents of the region with the view's
el
/ content. You can change to this be anything you wish,
though, facilitating transition effects and more.
Marionette.Region.prototype.open = function(view){
this.$el.hide();
this.$el.html(view.el);
this.$el.slideDown("fast");
}
This example will cause a view to slide down from the top of the region, instead of just appearing in place.
