The reveal() method is the primary API, and makes it easy to create and manage various types of animations.
<!-- HTML -->
<div class="foo"> Foo </div>
<div class="bar"> Bar </div>// JavaScript
window.sr = ScrollReveal();
sr.reveal('.foo');
sr.reveal('.bar');The ScrollReveal constructor, and it's primary methods all support chaining.
window.sr = ScrollReveal();
sr.reveal('.foo');
sr.reveal('.bar');
// Is the same as...
window.sr = ScrollReveal().reveal('.foo, .bar');Passing a configuration object to ScrollReveal() changes the defaults for all reveals, and passing reveal() a configuration object customizes that reveal set further.
// Changing the defaults
window.sr = ScrollReveal({ reset: true });
// Customizing a reveal set
sr.reveal('.foo', { duration: 200 });// 'bottom', 'left', 'top', 'right'
origin : 'bottom',
// Can be any valid CSS distance, e.g. '5rem', '10%', '20vw', etc.
distance : '20px',
// Time in milliseconds.
duration : 500,
delay : 0,
// Starting angles in degrees, will transition from these values to 0 in all axes.
rotate : { x: 0, y: 0, z: 0 },
// Starting opacity value, before transitioning to the computed opacity.
opacity : 0,
// Starting scale value, will transition from this value to 1
scale : 0.9,
// Accepts any valid CSS easing, e.g. 'ease', 'ease-in-out', 'linear', etc.
easing : 'cubic-bezier(0.6, 0.2, 0.1, 1)',
// When null, `<html>` is assumed to be the reveal container. You can pass a
// DOM node as a custom container, e.g. document.querySelector('.fooContainer')
// or a selector, e.g. '.fooContainer'
container : null,
// true/false to control reveal animations on mobile.
mobile : true,
// true: reveals occur every time elements become visible
// false: reveals occur once as elements become visible
reset : false,
// 'always' — delay for all reveal animations
// 'once' — delay only the first time reveals occur
// 'onload' - delay only for animations triggered by first load
useDelay : 'always',
// Change when an element is considered in the viewport. The default value
// of 0.20 means 20% of an element must be visible for its reveal to occur.
viewFactor : 0.2,
// Pixel values that alter the container boundaries.
// e.g. Set `{ top: 48 }`, if you have a 48px tall fixed toolbar.
// --
// Visual Aid: https://scrollrevealjs.org/assets/viewoffset.png
viewOffset : { top: 0, right: 0, bottom: 0, left: 0 },
// Callbacks that fire for each completed element reveal, and if
// `config.reset = true`, for each completed element reset. When creating your
// callbacks, remember they are passed the element’s DOM node that triggered
// it as the first argument.
afterReveal : function(domEl) {},
afterReset : function(domEl) {}You can pass a sequence interval (in milliseconds) to the reveal() method, making sequenced animations a breeze.
Note: The interval is the time until the next element in the sequence begins its reveal, which is separate from the time until the element’s animation completes. In this example, the animation duration is 2 seconds, but the sequence interval is 50 milliseconds.
// interval passed to reveal
window.sr = ScrollReveal({ duration: 2000 });
sr.reveal('.box', 50);
// or...
// interval and custom config passed to reveal
window.sr = ScrollReveal();
sr.reveal('.box', { duration: 2000 }, 50);
reveal() is equipped to handle calls on the same element, so it's easy to override element configuration.
<div class="foo"> Foo </div>
<div class="foo" id="chocolate"> Chip </div>var fooReveal = {
delay : 200,
distance : '90px',
easing : 'ease-in-out',
rotate : { z: 10 },
scale : 1.1
};
window.sr = ScrollReveal();
sr.reveal('.foo', fooReveal);
sr.reveal('#chocolate', { delay: 500, scale: 0.9 });You are not just limited to using selectors with reveal(), it also accepts a DOM node as the first argument.
sr.reveal(document.getElementById('chocolate'));The default container is the viewport, but you can assign any container to any reveal set.
Tip: ScrollReveal works just as well with horizontally scrolling containers too!
<div id="fooContainer">
<div class="foo"> Foo 1 </div>
<div class="foo"> Foo 2 </div>
<div class="foo"> Foo 3 </div>
</div>
<div id="barContainer">
<div class="bar"> Bar 1 </div>
<div class="bar"> Bar 2 </div>
<div class="bar"> Bar 3 </div>
</div>window.sr = ScrollReveal();
// as a DOM node...
var fooContainer = document.getElementById('fooContainer');
sr.reveal('.foo', { container: fooContainer });
// as a selector...
sr.reveal('.bar', { container: '#barContainer' });The sync() method updates asynchronously loaded content with any existing reveal sets.
Example:
<!-- index.html -->
<div id="fooContainer">
<div class="foo">foo</div>
<div class="foo">foo</div>
<div class="foo">foo</div>
</div>
<!-- ajax.html -->
<div class="foo">foo async</div>
<div class="foo">foo async</div>
<div class="foo">foo async</div>var fooContainer, content, sr, xmlhttp;
fooContainer = document.getElementById('fooContainer');
sr = ScrollReveal();
sr.reveal('.foo', { container: fooContainer });
// Setup a new asynchronous request...
xmlhttp = new XMLHttpRequest();
xmlhttp.onreadystatechange = function() {
if (xmlhttp.readyState == XMLHttpRequest.DONE) {
if (xmlhttp.status == 200) {
// Turn our response into HTML...
var content = document.createElement('div');
content.innerHTML = xmlhttp.responseText;
content = content.childNodes;
// Add each element to the DOM...
for (var i = 0; i < content.length; i++) {
fooContainer.appendChild(content[ i ]);
};
// Finally!
sr.sync();
}
}
}
xmlhttp.open('GET', 'ajax.html', true);
xmlhttp.send();It’s important that reveal() calls be made as close to last in your page as possible, so that:
- Elements on the page have loaded
- Any other 3rd party libraries have had a chance to run
- Any other styles added to your elements wont be overwritten
Example:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<!-- load and instantiate ScrollReveal first -->
<script src="js/scrollreveal.min.js"></script>
<script>
window.sr = ScrollReveal();
</script>
</head>
<body>
<div class="fooContainer">
<div class="fooReveal"> Foo </div>
<div class="fooReveal"> Foo </div>
<div class="fooReveal"> Foo </div>
</div>
<!-- make reveal calls last -->
<script>
sr.reveal('.fooReveal', { container: '.fooContainer' });
</script>
</body>
</html>In most cases, your elements will start at opacity: 0 so they can fade in. However, since JavaScript loads after the page begins rendering, you might see your elements flickering as they begin rendering before being hidden by ScrollReveal's JavaScript.
The ideal solution is to set your reveal elements visibility to hidden in the <head> of your page, to ensure they render hidden while your JavaScript loads:
Continuing our example from 4.1.
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<!-- load and instantiate ScrollReveal first -->
<script src="js/scrollreveal.min.js"></script>
<script>
window.sr = ScrollReveal();
// Add class to <html> if ScrollReveal is supported
if (sr.isSupported()) {
document.documentElement.classList.add('sr');
}
</script>
<style>
/* Ensure elements load hidden before ScrollReveal runs */
.sr .fooReveal { visibility: hidden; }
</style>
</head>
<body>
<div class="fooContainer">
<div class="fooReveal"> Foo </div>
<div class="fooReveal"> Foo </div>
<div class="fooReveal"> Foo </div>
</div>
<!-- make reveal calls last -->
<script>
sr.reveal('.fooReveal', { container: '.fooContainer' });
</script>
</body>
</html>Note: If you prefer not to put styles in the
<head>of your page, including this style in your primary stylesheet will still help with element flickering since your CSS will likely load before your JavaScript.
ScrollReveal supports 3d rotation out of the box, but you may want to emphasize the effect by specifying a perspective property on your container.
Continuing our example from 4.2.
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<!-- load and instantiate ScrollReveal first -->
<script src="js/scrollreveal.min.js"></script>
<script>
window.sr = ScrollReveal();
// Add class to <html> if ScrollReveal is supported
if (sr.isSupported()) {
document.documentElement.classList.add('sr');
}
</script>
<style>
/* Ensure elements load hidden before ScrollReveal runs */
.sr .fooReveal { visibility: hidden; }
/* add perspective to your container */
.fooContainer { perspective: 800px; }
</style>
</head>
<body>
<div class="fooContainer">
<div class="fooReveal"> Foo </div>
<div class="fooReveal"> Foo </div>
<div class="fooReveal"> Foo </div>
</div>
<!-- make reveal calls last -->
<script>
// use rotation in reveal configuration
sr.reveal('.fooReveal', { container: '.fooContainer', rotate: {x: 65} });
</script>
</body>
