grid animations not working/snapping because of react.

hey can anyone help me? i have a problem with my grid's (masonry-layout) built in animations not working properly because of how react redraws the screen. is this a common issue? basically i have a grid of cards (which are child components of the grid). the cards are lists that can be collapsed. -when i update states everything snaps to place (instead of smoothly) -if i add a transition to the collapse of the card in CSS, the grid snaps BEFORE the actual height changes... resizing the window makes the animation perform perfectly (my guess is bc it triggers some sort of recheck of the DOM???) live link in the readme: https://github.com/ggkfox/checklister-app just try clicking around on the card's headers and you will see. i appreciate any help, even if we cant get it fixed. im just at a complete loss. too much for a beginner.

looks like masonry-layout here also messes with the dom, i'd suggest not trying to do that with react there are react versions of this

React Masonry component - Material UI
Masonry lays out contents of varying dimensions as blocks of the same width and different height with configurable gaps.

they're already pulling in a library. one that aligns better with react would be better in this situation plenty of other places to learn how to interact with libraries that don't interact with react directly

ah ok. i havent tried this one. i tried the react-masonry-css and it didnt have all the features. so i thought i was forced to use the standard version. wait what is really old? the non-react library i was using? well regardless i will give that react version a shot. ty so much. should be a lot easier if it works
