Nuxt 3 onLeave transition hook not working

Question

Since I've been experimenting with Nuxt3 and animation libraries, I came across an issue for which I need help finding a solution for.

I want to do an easy transition with some Javascript hooks no CSS/basic transitions. When a page loads (onEnter), I want to reduce the height of a fixed black rectangle but for example sake, I'm just going to use the Nuxt example:

<script setup lang="ts">
definePageMeta({
  pageTransition: {
    name: 'custom-flip',
    mode: 'out-in',
    onBeforeEnter: (el) => {
      console.log('Before enter...')
    },
    onEnter: (el, done) => {},
    onAfterEnter: (el) => {}
  }
})
</script>

Everything working fine till you want to add an onBeforeLeave, onLeave or onAfterLeave hook.:

<script setup lang="ts">
definePageMeta({
  pageTransition: {
    name: 'custom-flip',
    mode: 'out-in',

    onBeforeEnter: (el) => {
      console.log('Before enter...')
    },
    onEnter: (el, done) => {},
    onAfterEnter: (el) => {},


    //nothings is logging underneath this

    onBeforeLeave: (el) => {},
    onLeave: (el, done) => {
      console.log('this is not logging to the console...')
    },
    onAfterLeave: (el) => {}
  }
})
</script>

Someone who experienced the same issue?

It is because you need to call the done() function for the hook to move forward. Fortunately, Vue official documentation is more explicit about it:

https://vuejs.org/guide/built-ins/transition.html#javascript-hooks

export default {
 // ...
 methods: {
   // called before the element is inserted into the DOM.
   // use this to set the "enter-from" state of the element
   onBeforeEnter(el) {},

   // called one frame after the element is inserted.
   // use this to start the animation.
   onEnter(el, done) {
     // call the done callback to indicate transition end
     // optional if used in combination with CSS
     done()
   },

   // called when the enter transition has finished.
   onAfterEnter(el) {},
   onEnterCancelled(el) {},

   // called before the leave hook.
   // Most of the time, you should just use the leave hook.
   onBeforeLeave(el) {},

   // called when the leave transition starts.
   // use this to start the leaving animation.
   onLeave(el, done) {
     // call the done callback to indicate transition end
     // optional if used in combination with CSS
     done()
   },

   // called when the leave transition has finished and the
   // element has been removed from the DOM.
   onAfterLeave(el) {},

   // only available with v-show transitions
   onLeaveCancelled(el) {}
 }
}
