Get component styles before animation?

Hey!

Im wondering how to get component styles before the TransitionMotion animation happens.

I have an animation that is bringing something to full scale. It takes a component, starts scale at 0 then tweens it to 1.

I need to check the height of the component that is going to be animated incase it is too large, I am only able to get the height information after the animation happens in the parent componentDidUpdate method.

Anyone have suggestions on how to solve for this?

Thanks

No source files or tests are named. Start by tracing the TransitionMotion lifecycle and the parent componentDidUpdate timing, then determine whether component dimensions can be measured before the scale animation begins. Done would require a clearly specified, reproducible approach or project change for obtaining the pre-animation height.
