Focus Area Proposal
Description
dbaron's description from - WebKit/standards-positions#348
"Animation to or from auto heights is commonly requested by web developers. It is important for animation of elements (such as the contents of disclosure widgets) opening/closing between a content-based height (or width) and a small (often zero) height (or width). This calc-size() proposal fits the desire to do such animations into the way that CSS transitions and animations work. More generally, this allows animating between a fixed length and almost any type of height (or width, or min/max-height/width) that can currently be specified in CSS.
The CSS interpolate-size property allows a page to opt in to animations and transitions of CSS intrinsic sizing keywords such as auto, min-content, fit-content, etc., in the cases where we can animate those keywords.
The CSS calc-size() function is a CSS function similar to calc(), but that also supports operations on exactly one of the values auto, min-content, max-content, fit-content, stretch, or contain, which are the intrinsic sizing keywords. This function is used to represent the values in the middle of the animations allowed by the interpolate-size property."
