Fade

v1.0.1Updated 21 Jul 2026

Cross-fades its child's opacity in and out based on the `in` prop, using a pure-CSS transition driven by inline styles. Supports per-instance duration, delay and easing, plus `unmountOnExit` to remove the child from the DOM after the exit transition finishes. Combine with a `delay` per item to stagger a list or grid entrance.
