I can work on this :)

@CodesOfRa are you still planning to work on this? I'm considering writing a plugin from scratch, but don't want to duplicate your work, especially if there's any work I could do to help.

The simplest implementation I've come up with so far would just involve adding a Vue component as a parent of the GlobalLayout, which (if I understand correctly) should handle timing and expose the right CSS classes using the default Vue transition system.

[sdaitzman]

A much-refined proof-of-concept version of the idea I describe, written by @jdtzmn as a patch rather than a plugin, is here: https://github.com/jdtzmn/vuepress

This implementation would also meet #2098, I think (@axieum confirm?). It allows for any custom root combination of Vue components to replace the default router setup.

Tomorrow, I'll try to get an example live. If this is a useful feature, I can document/test/refactor @jdtzmn's code as needed.

[axieum]

Yes, this appears to solve #2098, however will need modifying to remove a couple set in stone elements; see comment on commit jdtzmn/vuepress@aa638ee#r36658709

If this is implemented, this will allow us to completely modify the Vue instance (using enhanceApp and CustomRouter view).

[sdaitzman]

@axieum can you describe your use case for those additional modifications?

[axieum]

I just implemented Content level transitions very easily. I'm assuming this issue is related to being able to transition upper level elements closer to the #app?

[sdaitzman]

The issue is that, to implement smooth transitions between different routes (and, therefore, layouts) requires including a direct parent of the router-view Vue element and specifying transitions in the same Vue file.
