### Animating One or Zero Items

Although in the example above we rendered a list of items into `ReactCSSTransitionGroup`, the children of `ReactCSSTransitionGroup` can be one or zero items. This makes it possible to animate a single element entering or leaving. Similarly, you can animate a new element replacing the current element, with the new element animating in while the current animates out. For example, we can implement a simple image carousel like this:

```javascript{12-14}
/** @jsx React.DOM */
var ReactCSSTransitionGroup = React.addons.CSSTransitionGroup;
var ImageCarousel = React.createClass({
propTypes: {
imageSrc: React.PropTypes.string.isRequired
},
render: function() {
return (
<div>
<ReactCSSTransitionGroup transitionName="carousel">
<img src={this.props.imageSrc} key={this.props.imageSrc} />
</ReactCSSTransitionGroup>
</div>
);
}
});
```

> Note:
>
> You must provide [the `key` attribute](/react/docs/multiple-components.html#dynamic-children) for all children of `ReactCSSTransitionGroup`, even if rendering a single item. This is how React will determine which children have entered, left, or stayed.
### Disabling Animations

You can disable animating `enter` or `leave` animations if you want. For example, sometimes you may want an `enter` animation and no `leave` animation, but `ReactCSSTransitionGroup` waits for an animation to complete before removing your DOM node. You can add `transitionEnter={false}` or `transitionLeave={false}` props to `ReactCSSTransitionGroup` to disable these animations.
