background image transitions

Hey guys, i have a simple carousel that cycles through images whenever a button is clicked. One issue is, i'm unable to figure out why my images aren't performing a transition when switched from one to another. I'm using sveltekit with tailwind css here is how my script tag looks like:

let currentImgPage = 0;
let currentImg = MotorcylingJourney[currentImgPage];

const nextImg = () => {
    if (currentImgPage === MotorcylingJourney.length - 1) return;
    currentImgPage++;
    currentImg = MotorcylingJourney[currentImgPage];
};

const prevImg = () => {
    if (currentImgPage === 0) return;
    currentImgPage--;
    currentImg = MotorcylingJourney[currentImgPage];
};

let currentImgPage = 0;
let currentImg = MotorcylingJourney[currentImgPage];

const nextImg = () => {
    if (currentImgPage === MotorcylingJourney.length - 1) return;
    currentImgPage++;
    currentImg = MotorcylingJourney[currentImgPage];
};

const prevImg = () => {
    if (currentImgPage === 0) return;
    currentImgPage--;
    currentImg = MotorcylingJourney[currentImgPage];
};

and my markup looks like this

<div
  class="bg-cover bg-center h-[400px] rounded-lg transition duration-500 ease-in-out"
  style="background-image: url('{currentImg.imgPath}');"
></div>
<button class="btn" on:click={nextImg}>Next</button>

<div
  class="bg-cover bg-center h-[400px] rounded-lg transition duration-500 ease-in-out"
  style="background-image: url('{currentImg.imgPath}');"
></div>
<button class="btn" on:click={nextImg}>Next</button>

when i click my "next" button for instance, it never performs any transition

https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/background-image <-- it isn't animatable well, it technically is, but it's just 0% -> 100%, no inbetween what you can do is to use pseudo-elements positioned behind everything, and then you fade them based on whatever you want by "fade" i mean that you transition the opacity
