Parallax Header Directive for Ionic

This directive enables parallax effect on ion-header elements to display a cover photo while on top of the page and transition it to the normal navbar when content is scrolled down.

For Ionic versions < 7, check the previous tags of this package.

• Live Demo

Set Up

1. Install package: $ npm i ionic-header-parallax.
2. Import the directive into your desired module (usually appmodule.ts):

import { IonicHeaderParallaxModule } from 'ionic-header-parallax';

@NgModule({
  imports: [
    IonicHeaderParallaxModule,
    ...

Usage

Just add the attribute parallax to any <ion-header> element:

<ion-header
  parallax
  imageUrl="https://picsum.photos/350"
  height="350"
  bgPosition="top"
>
  <ion-toolbar color="primary">
    <ion-title> Parallax Header </ion-title>
  </ion-toolbar>
</ion-header>

<ion-content> Some content here </ion-content>

Parameter	Type	Description
imageUrl	string	The background image to show while expanded.
height	number | string	The height for the header when expanded. If the value is a number, it will be set in px. If the value is a string it will be passed as is (eg: "20rem")
color	string	The color (web hex formatted) to show while the header is expanded when no imageUrl is set. When scrolled it will fade to the toolbar's color.
bgPosition	'top' | 'center' | 'bottom'	The position of the image in the header. This parameter slightly changes the feeling of the animation.

Contributing

I don't plan to be maintaining this package full-time, but as I'm usually developing in Ionic I'll be glad to update it any time I make some upgrades for myself. Code contributions, issues and PRs are very welcome. Find the instructions in the CONTRIBUTING.md file.
