that wrapping div potentially breaks children styles.

that wrapping div potentially breaks children styles.

The TransitionGroup component will take a component={null} prop but I haven't figured out how to get that on the Transition or CSSTransition components. Any ideas there?

I agree, ideally, you wouldn't render any container at all once the transition was complete.

@vincaslt Try out the new version I just posted.

A bit more verbose, but seems to work alright, thanks

@vincaslt Yup, pros and cons but I don't see any other way since they each require their own reference. Open to opinions on how we can improve it.

I wonder if you would know how this could be solved: https://gist.github.com/adamwathan/3b9f3ad1a285a2d1b482769aeb862467#gistcomment-3391161

@vincaslt I believe I ran into this. Does this solve your issue?
