Reactstrap is a popular front-end library that is easy to use React Bootstrap 4 components. This library contains the stateless React components for Bootstrap 4. The Fade component provides a way to add a fade animation to a child component or an element. We can use the following approach in ReactJS to use the ReactJS Reactstrap Fade Component.

Creating React Application And Installing Module:
Step 1: Create a React application using the following command:
npx create-react-app foldername
Step 2: After creating your project folder i.e. foldername, move to it using the following command:
cd foldername
Step 3: After creating the ReactJS application, Install the required module using the following command:
npm install reactstrap bootstrap
Project Structure: It will look like the following.

Project Structure
Example 1: Now write down the following code in the App.js file. Here we have shown the Fade component to display text without any timeout.
App.js
import React from 'react'
import 'bootstrap/dist/css/bootstrap.min.css' ;
import { Fade, Button } from "reactstrap"
function App() {
const [isOpen, setIsOpen] = React.useState( false );
return (
<div style={{
display: 'block' , width: 900, padding: 30
}}>
<h4>ReactJS Reactstrap Fade Component</h4>
<Button color= "success" onClick={() => {
setIsOpen(!isOpen)
}}>Toggle Me to see Fade Component!</Button>
<Fade in ={isOpen}>
<p>I am sample Text to display</p>
</Fade>
</div >
);
}
export default App;
|
Step to Run Application: Run the application using the following command from the root directory of the project:
npm start
Output: Now open your browser and go to http://localhost:3000/, you will see the following output:

Example 2: Now write down the following code in the App.js file. Here we have shown the Fade component to display div block with a timeout of 2 seconds.
App.js
import React from 'react'
import 'bootstrap/dist/css/bootstrap.min.css' ;
import { Fade, Button } from "reactstrap"
function App() {
const [isOpen, setIsOpen] = React.useState( false );
return (
<div style={{
display: 'block' , width: 900, padding: 30
}}>
<h4>ReactJS Reactstrap Fade Component</h4>
<Button color= "primary" onClick={() => {
setIsOpen(!isOpen)
}}>Button</Button>
<Fade timeout={2000} in ={isOpen}>
<div style={{ width: 300, height: 50,
backgroundColor: 'green' }}>
<p>...I am opened after 2 seconds</p>
</div>
</Fade>
</div >
);
}
export default App;

Step to Run Application: Run the application using the following command from the root directory of the project:
npm start
Output: Now open your browser and go to http://localhost:3000/, you will see the following output:
