What are CSS transitions best used for?

Hi Dipen,

CSS transitions are ideal for creating smooth and subtle animations on your web pages. They excel at:

  • Hover effects: Transitions can make buttons or links change color, size, or add a subtle shadow when a user hovers over them, creating a more interactive feel.
  • Visibility changes: Transitions can elegantly show or hide elements, like dropdowns appearing smoothly when clicked or modals fading in/out.
  • Simple property changes: Transitions can animate basic style changes, like transforming a button background color on click or gradually increasing an element’s width.
