Marionette v2 about marionette.transition-region

[jamesplease]

yo @kilbot. I'll definitely be updating it to work for version 2 sometime. I've just been a bit busy!

With that said, do note that this was only ever a prototype. I wouldn't recommend that anyone use this in production unless they write their own test suite for it!

[kilbot]

Great, thanks for reply! I just started playing with animated regions today ... I figure I might as well start down the right track :) Thanks again!

This can probably be left open as a reminder to update it.

Updated to v2 ~

[kilbot]

Thanks @jmeas!

[jamesplease]

No problem, @kilbot. I also just added support for concurrent transitions so you can now do sliding views. Do note that the code was really, really quickly written. The library really needs a rewrite before it's ever production-ready. You can see the examples on JSFiddle.

That's great @jmeas, the sliding example is exactly what I was hoping to achieve. I understand it's not tested, but it's a great place to start for me. If I can add anything through my testing I'll try and contribute back to the project.

Oh, ha, how convenient @kilbot :)

Before I made these updates, I think this TransitionRegion passed all of the 1.8.x unit tests when I patched Marionette.Region directly. If you want to know whether it's production-ready you could do the same thing for the 2.x tests.

The process should be as easy as:

1. Clone the Marionette Repo.
2. Add this library to the bottom of the Region source code, but modify it so that it patches Region instead of creating a new Class.
3. Run the unit tests by running grunt

p.s. I know that the comments are really dismal in the code right now. If you're having trouble figuring out what's going on, or if you'd just like to talk about this approach (or other alternatives), just shoot me a message and we can talk about it. I'm always on Gitter.

Best of luck!
