How can I use ng-animate with ui-view rather than ng-view?

Question

I am using angular-ui-router with angularJS v1.2 and would like to implement custom page transitions.
How can I use ng-animate with ui-view (from angular-ui-router) rath

Answer 1

Looks like this is fixed with UI Router 0.2.8. I'm using AngularJS v1.2.7.

For an example, just add the "slide" class to your ui-view

And use the following css for your animation.

.slide {
    -webkit-transition: -webkit-transform .7s ease-in-out;
    -moz-transition: -moz-transform .7s ease-in-out;
    -o-transition: -o-transform .7s ease-in-out;
    transition: transform .7s ease-in-out;
    -webkit-transform: translateX(0);
    transform: translateX(0);
}

.slide.ng-enter {
    -webkit-transform: translateX(-100%);
    transform: translateX(-100%);
}

.slide.ng-enter.ng-enter-active, .slide.ng-leave {
    position: absolute;
    -webkit-transform: translateX(0);
    transform: translateX(0);
}

.slide.ng-leave.ng-leave-active {
    -webkit-transform: translateX(100%);
    transform: translateX(100%);
}

Additionally, some animations seemed to have some weird behavior because of $uiViewScroll. I worked around it by adding autoscroll="false" to my ui-view element.
