I want to use it but can't understand how. So please if someone help me. I have a running site on react with react router, now I want to add some page transition from your library.

is not rendering my components neither, not sure whats wrong, seems an easy setup

Hi @munibkhalid & @Al3busse

Thanks for taking the time to raise your issue, I'm sorry it has taken a while to respond.

I decided to try and use the package again using nothing but the code provided in the README. I can see now where people are having issues. (You can see a working CodeSandbox here: https://codesandbox.io/s/basic-react-page-transition-demo-rk0uv)

There are two primary issues:

1. The README contains an error

The README says you should set up the routes using a to prop like this:

  <Route to="/home" component={Home} />
  <Route to="/about" component={About} />

It should actually say to use the path prop like this:

  <Route path="/home" component={Home} />
  <Route path="/about" component={About} />

2. The PageTransition component has a height style of 100% so it will not display unless all surrounding containers have some kind of height. To get started you could try and apply the following css rules:

body,
html,
#root {
  height: 100vh;
}

I'm glad you found a solid alternative. I hope this helps anyone else who has the same problems. The package isn't as plug and play as I would like it to be and will definitely look to improve upon it in a future update.

Closing this issue as I have updated the README.md with this information and have provided better CodeSandbox examples.
