How can I disable specific Ionic Vue route animations without disabling all animations?

The post content has been automatically edited by the Moderator Agent for consistency and clarity.

I'm encountering the error below when trying to disable animations on certain routes in Ionic Vue (without turning off animations globally):

BASH
@ionic_vue.js?v=bbc2dfce:18984 TypeError: animationBuilder is not a function at animation (chunk-YNRD7USV.js?v=bbc2dfce:838:17)

I can disable all animations by setting the router outlet's animated property to false:

HTML
<ion-router-outlet :animated="false" />

This works fine with a simple router push:

JAVASCRIPT
import { useIonRouter } from '@ionic/vue'; const ionRouter = useIonRouter(); function clickLink() { ionRouter.push(url.value); }

However, when I integrate navigation into another TypeScript file, the error appears. For example:

TYPESCRIPT
export function useCustomRouter() { const router = useIonRouter(); const { activeOrganizationId } = useDaily(); async function push(path: any) { try { await router.push(path, 'forward'); } catch (e) { //console.error(e); } } async function back() { try { await router.back('none'); } catch (e) { //console.error(e); } } async function goHome() { try { await router.push(`/${activeOrganizationId.value}/app/my-day`, 'forward'); } catch (e) { //console.error(e); } } return { push, back, goHome, }; }

And then using it like this:

JAVASCRIPT
import { useCustomRouter } from '~/composables/useCustomRouter'; const router = useCustomRouter(); function clickLink() { router.push(url.value) }

The only workaround I've found so far is to define a no-animation builder:

TYPESCRIPT
import { type AnimationBuilder, createAnimation } from '@ionic/vue'; export function useCustomRouter() { const noAnimation: AnimationBuilder = (baseEl, opts) => { return createAnimation().addElement(baseEl).duration(0); }; const router = useIonRouter(); const { activeOrganizationId } = useDaily(); async function push(path: any) { try { await router.push(path, noAnimation); } catch (e) { //console.error(e); } } async function back() { try { await router.back(noAnimation); } catch (e) { //console.error(e); } } async function goHome() { try { await router.push(`/${activeOrganizationId.value}/app/my-day`, 'forward'); } catch (e) { //console.error(e); } } return { push, back, goHome, }; }

This approach works, but it feels a bit verbose. Is there an easier or more elegant way to disable animations for individual navigations (both push and back) without causing the error? Any insights or alternative solutions would be appreciated.

Based on Ionic Vue’s current API, there isn’t a built‑in option to disable animations on a per‑navigation basis other than by passing an AnimationBuilder (even a no‑op one) to the push or back methods. In other words, when you pass a string like "forward" or "none" directly, under the hood Ionic expects an AnimationBuilder function. If you don’t supply a valid function, you’ll get the error:

  TypeError: animationBuilder is not a function

The solution you found—defining a no‑animation builder—is currently the recommended workaround. For example:

TYPESCRIPT
import { type AnimationBuilder, createAnimation } from '@ionic/vue'; const noAnimation: AnimationBuilder = (baseEl, opts) => { return createAnimation().addElement(baseEl).duration(0); };

Then applying it to your navigation methods:

TYPESCRIPT
export function useCustomRouter() { const router = useIonRouter(); const { activeOrganizationId } = useDaily(); async function push(path: any) { try { await router.push(path, noAnimation); } catch (e) { // console.error(e); } } async function back() { try { await router.back(noAnimation); } catch (e) { // console.error(e); } } async function goHome() { try { await router.push(`/${activeOrganizationId.value}/app/my-day`, 'forward'); } catch (e) { // console.error(e); } } return { push, back, goHome, }; }

In summary, if you want to disable animation for specific navigations without turning off animations globally (by setting <ion-router-outlet :animated="false" />), you’ll need to pass a valid (even if no‑op) AnimationBuilder like the one above. There isn’t an easier, built‑in option available at this time.
