Demo: Animate blocks when they enter the viewport - #6299
Conversation
Rendering a list item based on its position required bypassing ListBlock and mapping over data.blocks directly, which loses the per-item error boundary and the empty-list preview skeleton. The block function now receives the index as its second argument, so staggered scroll-in animations can be built on top of ListBlock. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Viewport animations are expected of a current website, so port the setup from the vivid-websites project into Demo. It needs no dependencies: AnimateBoxInOnScroll fades and slides content in via IntersectionObserver, AnimateBoxInOnLoad does the same on mount for the stage blocks above the fold, and AnimateGroup lets siblings reveal together and drops the stagger on the breakpoints where it would look wrong. Animations are skipped in the block preview and under prefers-reduced-motion, and speed up while the page is scrolled fast. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

ApprovabilityVerdict: Not approved Macroscope's review found this PR not approvable — This PR introduces a broadly applied animation system with new viewport observers, scroll and resize listeners, state coordination, and wrapper elements across many existing page blocks. Its existing-path runtime and layout impact, together with the remaining KeyFacts breakpoint concern, warrant human review. Not approved because:

In `@demo/site/src/common/blocks/ContactFormBlock.tsx`:
- Around line 127-128: Update the ContactFormBlock markup around
AnimateBoxInOnScroll so the form remains the direct PageLayout grid item and its
grid-column styling applies; either move the animation wrapper inside the form
or otherwise avoid wrapping the form with a non-display-contents element, while
preserving the existing submit behavior and animation.
In `@demo/site/src/util/animations/AnimateGroup.tsx`:
- Line 52: Update the AnimateGroup state and child-notification flow so the
configured breakpoint’s disabled status is resolved before initially visible
AnimateBoxInOnScroll children can call onVisible. Expose the resolved
disableAnimateGroup state and defer group visibility notification until that
state is available, preserving normal animation behavior when the breakpoint is
enabled.
In `@demo/site/src/util/animations/useGlobalScrollSpeed.ts`:
- Line 17: Update the scroll-speed notification flow in useGlobalScrollSpeed so
notifyListeners is coalesced to a bounded rate and only called when the
effective speed bucket changes, preventing every scroll event from recreating
observers in AnimateBoxInOnScroll. Preserve the existing speed calculation while
reducing subscriber updates.

…akpoints AnimateGroup measured its breakpoint in an effect, so `disabled` was still false during the first client render. Child effects run before the parent's, which let a child that was in view on page load report visibility before the group knew it was disabled. `visible` latched true and forced every sibling visible, defeating `disabledBreakpoints` entirely. The group now distinguishes "not yet measured" from "enabled" and ignores reports until the breakpoint is known; children defer reporting until then. Measuring during render instead is not an option, as the width is unknown on the server and would break hydration. Also move the contact form's grid placement onto the animation wrapper: the wrapper became the PageLayout grid item, so `grid-column` on the nested form no longer applied and the form collapsed into a single column. Also coalesce scroll-speed updates to one per frame and publish them in buckets. A continuous value re-rendered every subscriber on every scroll event, and since the speed feeds the observer's rootMargin, it rebuilt every IntersectionObserver too — 13970 constructions across 120 scroll events on the fixtures page, now 5080.

This reverts commit c35f794. The .playwright-cli/ entry is already on main, added by #6306, so this commit duplicated it and would leave the ignore listed twice after merge.

I didn't review AnimateBoxInOnScroll, AnimateGroup, and useGlobalScrollSpeed in detail. From what I've seen, this seems like a lot of effects, DOM events and JS. Have we considered alternative paths, for instance, CSS scroll-driven animations?
Is this something we want in every project?

Instead of any and ESLint disable we could use PropsWithChildren.

Claude noted that no caller uses onChange, fullHeight, innerClassName or duration – could we remove them?
I implemented the animations like they are in the vivid-websites (as the ticket clearly states: DEX-3157). Anyway, I will open another PR using css only. We have a meeting of the styling focus group on thursday. Maybe its worth discussing this there? @mariokemetinger @VPS-MartinKaRo |
I've already asked Claude if it's possible to achieve the same effects CSS-only: https://claude.ai/code/session_01YAMMJd8chERCVvPiRGJJpj. Currently it isn't, we'll have to wait for broader
This is a good idea regardless. |

Problem
Blocks in Demo appear instantly, so pages feel flat and static as you scroll. Scroll-in animations are standard on current websites, and Demo showcases what a Dextinity site looks like — it should have them, and afterwards the Starter.
Solution
The animation setup needs no dependencies — CSS transitions plus
IntersectionObserver:AnimateBoxInOnScroll— fades and slides content in when it enters the viewport (direction,delay,offset,fullHeight)AnimateBoxInOnLoad— the same effect on mount, for the stage blocks above the foldAnimateGroup— reveals siblings together once one of them becomes visible;disabledBreakpointsdrops the stagger on breakpoints where it would look wronguseGlobalScrollSpeed— shortens delays and triggers earlier while the page is scrolled fastAnimations are skipped in the block preview and under
prefers-reduced-motion.All page content blocks are animated.
ProductListBlock,NewsListBlockandNewsDetailBlockare left alone: they are unstyled stubs demonstrating block loaders, not designed content.Example
ListBlockchangeStaggering a list needs the item position. Mapping over
data.blocksdirectly would loseListBlock's per-item error boundary and its empty-list preview skeleton, soListBlock'sblockfunction now receives the index as a second argument instead. This is backwards compatible; a changeset is included.Screenshots/screencasts

MediaGalleryBlockanimates only the swiper, not its navigation buttons. Animating them too would need a wrapper to carry their absolute positioning, and introducing one would mean restructuring the SCSS for little gain.Task: DEX-3157
