Window: pagereveal event

{{APIRef("HTML DOM")}}

The pagereveal event is fired when a document is first rendered, either when loading a fresh document from the network or activating a document (either from back/forward cache (bfcache) or prerender).

This is useful in the case of cross-document (MPA) view transitions for manipulating an active transition from the inbound page of a navigation. For example, you might wish to skip the transition, or customize the inbound transition animation via JavaScript.

Syntax

Use the event name in methods like {{domxref("EventTarget.addEventListener", "addEventListener()")}} , or set an event handler property.

addEventListener("pagereveal", (event) => {});
onpagereveal = (event) => {};

Event type

A {{domxref("PageRevealEvent")}} . Inherits from {{domxref("Event")}} .

Event properties

{{domxref("PageRevealEvent.viewTransition")}} {{ReadOnlyInline}}
- : Returns the {{domxref("ViewTransition")}} object representing the inbound cross-document view transition, if one is active when the event is fired. If this is not the case, it returns null.

Examples

window.addEventListener("pagereveal", async (e) => {
  // If the "from" history entry does not exist, return
  if (!navigation.activation.from) return;

  // Only run this if an active view transition exists
  if (e.viewTransition) {
    const fromUrl = new URL(navigation.activation.from.url);
    const currentUrl = new URL(navigation.activation.entry.url);

    // Went from profile page to homepage
    // ~> Set VT names on the relevant list item
    if (isProfilePage(fromUrl) && isHomePage(currentUrl)) {
      const profile = extractProfileNameFromUrl(fromUrl);

      // Set view-transition-name values on the elements to animate
      document.querySelector(`#${profile} span`).style.viewTransitionName =
        "name";
      document.querySelector(`#${profile} img`).style.viewTransitionName =
        "avatar";

      // Remove names after snapshots have been taken
      // so that we're ready for the next navigation
      await e.viewTransition.ready;
      document.querySelector(`#${profile} span`).style.viewTransitionName =
        "none";
      document.querySelector(`#${profile} img`).style.viewTransitionName =
        "none";
    }

    // Went to profile page
    // ~> Set VT names on the main title and image
    if (isProfilePage(currentUrl)) {
      // Set view-transition-name values on the elements to animate
      document.querySelector(`#detail main h1`).style.viewTransitionName =
        "name";
      document.querySelector(`#detail main img`).style.viewTransitionName =
        "avatar";

      // Remove names after snapshots have been taken
      // so that we're ready for the next navigation
      await e.viewTransition.ready;
      document.querySelector(`#detail main h1`).style.viewTransitionName =
        "none";
      document.querySelector(`#detail main img`).style.viewTransitionName =
        "none";
    }
  }
});
