Persistent DOM and Islands in Experimental View Transitions
With `viewTransitions: true` enabled in your Astro config's experimental section, pages using the `<ViewTransition />` routing component can now access a new `transition:persist` directive.
With this directive, you can keep the state of DOM elements and islands on the old page when transitioning to the new page.
For example, to keep a video playing across page navigation, add `transition:persist` to the element:
```astro
<video controls="" autoplay="" transition:persist>
<source src="https://ia804502.us.archive.org/33/items/GoldenGa1939_3/GoldenGa1939_3_512kb.mp4" type="video/mp4">
</video>
```
This `<video>` element, with its current state, will be moved over to the next page (if the video also exists on that page).
Likewise, this feature works with any client-side framework component island. In this example, a counter's state is preserved and moved to the new page:
```astro
<Counter count={5} client:load transition:persist />
```
See our [View Transitions Guide](https://docs.astro.build/en/guides/view-transitions/#maintaining-state) to learn more on usage.
