Solution 1 :

  1. Change dispaly: none to transform: scale(0)
  2. In addition to display: flex add transform: scale(1)
    Let us know if that worked!

Problem :

I want to create a transition for an auto height in a flex-box container.
I have a user bar with name, points, status and alert.

The alert message sometimes is rendered sometimes is not. It uses a display: none
What I’m trying to achieve is to resize smoothly the height of the flex-box container with a transition when I click on the alert message.

Here is a basic example (not working)

const $user_alert = document.querySelector('user-alert')

$user_alert.onclick = () => {
    $user_alert.classList.add('hide')
  setTimeout(() => $user_alert.classList.remove('hide'), 1e3)
}
body {
  display: flex;
  width: 100vw;
  height: 100vh;
  margin: 0;
  background-color: aliceblue;
}

user-bar {
  width: 100%;
  display: flex;
  flex-direction: column;
  align-items: center;
  justify-content: center;
  transition: all 2s ease-in-out;
}

user-alert {
  cursor: pointer;
  color: red;
}

.hide {
  display: none;
}
<user-bar>
  <user-name>Albert Einstein</user-name>
  <user-points>10000</user-points>
  <user-status>on</user-status>
  <user-alert>Time to Party Hard</user-alert>
</user-bar>

I cannot figure out how to create a simple transition without defining heights for each element inside the user bar… maybe it’s not possible using display: none.

Any help or idea will be really appreciate!

Manas, that’s an alternative, thanks. I would like to avoid keeping the space of the user alert message.

You cannot have transition on a boolean property. See here
