## Transition

Use the `transition` prop to control the transition of an element.

```jsx
// hardcoded value
<Box bg="red.400" _hover={{ bg: "red.500" }} transition="background 0.2s ease-in-out">
  Hover me
</Box>

// shortcut value
<Box bg="red.400" _hover={{ bg: "red.500" }} transition="backgrounds">
  Hover me
</Box>
```

| `transition` | `transition` | -              |

## Transition Timing Function

Use the `transitionTimingFunction` prop to control the timing function of a
transition.

```jsx
<Box
  bg="red.400"
  _hover={{ bg: "red.500" }}
  transition="backgrounds"
  transitionTimingFunction="ease-in-out"
>
  Hover me

| `transitionTimingFunction` | `transition-timing-function` | `easings`      |

## Transition Duration

Use the `transitionDuration` prop to control the duration of a transition.

```jsx
<Box
  bg="red.400"
  _hover={{ bg: "red.500" }}
