Variables
Every one of these has a default, so the piece works untouched. Set the ones you want to change on the element:| Variable | Default | Accepts | What it does |
|---|---|---|---|
from-text | Saving draft | string | The outgoing label, on screen before the swap. |
to-text | Saved | string | The incoming label, on screen after the swap. It rests hidden until the timeline reveals it. |
distance | standard | close, standard, far | Scales the vertical offset the timeline drives, so each label covers a shorter or longer run in the same time. |
tone | ink | ink, paper, accent | Label colour: ink for light frames, paper for dark ones, accent rides —brand. |
data-variable-values on the element that mounts it. These are the
defaults, so this behaves exactly like the preview above until you change one:
<div
data-composition-id="text-state-swap"
data-composition-src="compositions/components/text-state-swap.html"
data-variable-values='{"from-text":"Saving draft","to-text":"Saved","distance":"standard","tone":"ink"}'

Text State Swap - transitions.dev-inspired primitive for HyperFrames.
Paste the markup, CSS and script into a composition. Use the timeline
integration note at the bottom as the starting point for deterministic GSAP
animation.
Variables. The script reads each one, falls back to the declared default on
anything missing or unrecognised, and writes the result into the markup or
into a custom property the CSS above consumes. The timeline recipe below is
untouched by them: it keeps driving one offset and one blur, and these decide
what that offset means on screen.
- from-text (string, default "Saving draft"): the outgoing label, on screen
before the swap. Blank falls back to the default.
- to-text (string, default "Saved"): the incoming label, on screen after the
swap. It rests at zero opacity, so it only shows once the timeline reveals
it. Blank falls back to the default.
- distance (close | standard | far, default standard): scales the vertical
offset the timeline drives, so the outgoing label leaves further and the
incoming label starts further below, in the same time. Both labels rest at
their settled position on every setting, so this only changes the middle
of the swap.
- tone (ink | paper | accent, default ink): label colour for both states.
ink is near-black for light frames, paper near-white for dark ones, accent
rides --brand.
On every default the result is identical to the original: near-black
"Saving draft" lifts 18px through an 8px blur while "Saved" rises into place.
