 You can also apply different behavior in JavaScript transition hooks based on the current state of your component. Finally, the ultimate way of creating dynamic transitions is through [reusable transition components](#reusable-transitions) that accept props to change the nature of the transition(s) to be used. It may sound cheesy, but the only limit really is your imagination.
 
+## Transitions with the Key Attribute {#transitions-with-the-key-attribute}
+
+Sometimes you need to force the re-render of a DOM element in order for a transition to occur.
+
+Take this counter component for example.
+
+```vue
+<script setup>
+import { ref } from 'vue';
+const count = ref(0);
+
+setInterval(() => count.value++, 1000);
+</script>
+
+<template>
+  <Transition>
+    <span :key="count">{{ count }}</span>
+  </Transition>
+</template>
+```
+
+If we had excluded the `key` attribute, only the text node would be updated and thus no transition would occur. However, with the `key` attribute in place, Vue knows to create a new `span` element whenever `count` changes and thus the `Transition` component has 2 different elements to transition between.
