Articulate - React Animate On Scroll
NOTE: This is a fork of the original react-animate-on-scroll by dbramwell and has been modified to meet articulate's needs.
React component to animate elements on scroll with animate.css. Inspired by React-Scroll-Effect
Demo
Install:
npm install articulate-react-animate-on-scroll --save
If you want to use the animations from animate.css, be sure to include animate.css in someway in your project This can be done in a number of ways, eg:
npm install --save animate.css
and then importing in your project:
import "animate.css/animate.min.css";
Or by simply including a link to the file hosted by CDNJS:
<head>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/animate.css/3.5.2/animate.min.css">
</head>
Most Simple Use:
import ScrollAnimation from 'react-animate-on-scroll';
<ScrollAnimation animateIn="fadeIn">
Some Text
</ScrollAnimation>
Properties:
offset - default 150
The "viewport" is by default 150 pixels from the top and bottom of the screen. When part of an element is within the "viewport", animateIn is triggered. When no part of the element is in the "viewport", animateOut is triggered. This size of the "viewport" can be overridden by setting the offset property.
animateIn
Any css animation defined against a class, be it from animate.css or an animation that you have created yourself. The Animation triggers when the element enters the "viewport" (see offset property for more details on this).
animateOut
Any css animation defined against a class, be it from animate.css or an animation that you have created yourself. The Animation triggers when the element is leaving the "viewport" (see offset property for more details on this).
duration - default 1
Animation duration in seconds.
initiallyVisible - default false
Whether the element should be visible to begin with or not.
delay - default 0
How long to delay the animation for (in milliseconds) once it enters or leaves the view.
animateOnce - default false
Whether the element should only animate once or not.
style - default {}
A style object can be assigned to any ScrollAnimation component and will be passed to the rendered dom element. Its probably best to avoid manually setting animationDuration or opacity as the component will modify those attributes.
scrollableParentSelector
By default the code checks to see if the element is visible within the window. This can be changed to any other parent element of the ScrollAnimation by adding a css selector pointing to the parent that you wish to use.
afterAnimatedIn
Callback function to run once the animateIn animation has completed. Receives the visibility of the element at time of execution. Example:
function(visible) {
if (visible.inViewport) {
// Part of the element is in the viewport (the area defined by the offset property)
} else if (visible.onScreen) {
// Part of the element is visible on the screen
} else {
// Element is no longer visible
}
}
afterAnimatedOut
Callback function to run once the animateOut animation has completed. Receives the visibility of the element at time of execution. Example:
function(visible) {
if (visible.inViewport) {
// Part of the element is in the viewport (the area defined by the offset property)
} else if (visible.onScreen) {
// Part of the element is visible on the screen
} else {
// Element is no longer visible
}
}
keepStructure
This is a Boolean
value that will not add additional structure to its children
to facilitate animation when set to true
. This comes in handy when keeping the
structure required for proper semantic html.
In order to properly animate while keeping the structure, a few requirements must be met:
- Elements to be animated must be wrapped in a single "root" element.
- When either the "root" OR any of the elements to be animated are React components, a ref to element to be animated must be provided on the component as
animateRef
. - When either the "root" OR any of the elements to be animated are plain ol' DOM elements, no additional ref exposure is required.
When keepStructure
is set to true
, the component will check if it only has
one child, if it does it will not create the wrapping div
and will instead
use the root element as the container. If there is more than one child, then
it will default to creating and inserting a div
that will wrap the provided
children.
Changes:
Version 2.1.0
- Can now use scrollableParentSelector to use ScrollAnimation within any scrolling parent element.
Version 2.0.2
- ScrollAnimation components now accept style prop.
Version 2.0.1
- animateOnce now works properly.
Version 2.0.0
- The "visible" object passed to the afterAnimatedIn and afterAnimatedOut callbacks has the properties "onScreen" which is true if the element is on the screen, and "inViewport", which is true if the element is in the viewport. visible.completely and visible.partially will no longer work.
- Should now work on mobile devices.
- Should work more consistently with dynamically sized elements (eg, images).
- Elements now "animateIn" when any part of them is in the viewport, not only when they are fully contained in the viewport.
- The viewport now has a default offset of 150px from the top and bottom of the screen, rather than 100px.
Development:
In the project root:
Install Dependencies:
npm install
Run Tests:
There are some automated test cases with karma and a Chrome headless browser. I attempted to use Jest, and then to use PhantomJS, but could get neither to work with scroll events. To run them:
npm test
Build the component:
gulp build
Run the Demo project:
cd demo
npm install
npm install ..
npm start
