Animation Classes

ScrollyJS uses pre-built animation classes from {css}animation. You can either include them via CDN or install them as part of your project.

➕ Add cssanimation Option 1: Use CDN (Recommended for quick use)

<link
  href="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/@hellouxpavel/cssanimation@latest/dist/cssanimation.min.css"
  rel="stylesheet" />

Option 2: Install via npm

npm i @hellouxpavel/cssanimation

Then import it:

import "@hellouxpavel/cssanimation";

Getting Started

Define DOWN Animation

Once you've done that, define animation class name in data-scrolly-down attribute like the example below to the element that you want to animate when the page scroll to DOWN. here we are using blurInTop.

<div data-scrolly-down="blurInTop">it's easy to do</div>

Define TOP Animation

Like the DOWN animation, to animate element while scrollig to TOP, just use data-scrolly-top attribute and add whatever animation you want. We used blurInBottom for example.

<div data-scrolly-top="blurInBottom">it's easy to do</div>

Use Both DOWN and TOP Animation

You can also trigger an animation effect in any given element from both DOWN & TOP, means it will animate on both scrolling DOWN & TOP. See the example below-

<div data-scrolly-top="blurInBottom" data-scrolly-down="blurInTop">
  it's easy to do
</div>

Use Animation on Character

Yes!! you can now animate each character of any sentences while you scroll. Add data-scrolly-characters="sequential" for sequential animation of the characters or data-scrolly-characters="random" if you want it to animate it in random order.... isn't it exciting !!

<h1
  data-scrolly-characters="sequentially"
  data-scrolly-down="leSpinInRight"
  data-scrolly-top="leSpinInLeft">
  I am Awesome. I can animate every characters in a sentence
</h1>

<h1
  data-scrolly-characters="randomly"
  data-scrolly-down="leSpinInRight"
  data-scrolly-top="leSpinInLeft">
  I am Awesome. I can animate every characters in a sentence
</h1>

Add Delay in Character Animation

You can add dealy on character animation by adding data-scrolly-characters="delay:100" attribute.

<h1
  data-scrolly-characters="sequentially"
  data-scrolly-characters="delay:100"
  data-scrolly-down="leSpinInRight"
  data-scrolly-top="leSpinInLeft">
  I am Awesome. I can animate every characters in a sentence
</h1>

<h1
  data-scrolly-characters="randomly"
  data-scrolly-characters="delay:100"
  data-scrolly-down="leSpinInRight"
  data-scrolly-top="leSpinInLeft">
  I am Awesome. I can animate every characters in a sentence
</h1>

Use Animation Duration

Default animation duration is 1s but you can always define your custom duration by adding duration:[number]s attribute.

<div data-scrolly-down="blurInTop, duration:2s">it's easy to do</div>

Add Delay

By adding the attribute delay:[number]s you can set a delay time to start of an animation.

<div data-scrolly-down="blurInTop, delay:2s">I am start after 2s</div>

Infinite or Specify The Number of Animation

The iteration-count specifies the number of times an animation should be played. Use iteration-count: 3 if you want to animate 3 times or use iteration-count:infinite which should play the animation with no limit.

<div data-scrolly-down="blurInTop, iteration-count:3">I am animate 3 times</div>

<div data-scrolly-down="blurInTop, iteration-count:infinite">
  I am animate unlimited times
</div>

Animation Direction

You can run the animation in reverse direction or alternate cycle (forward, backward, then again forward) using direction attribute.

<div data-scrolly-down="blurInTop, direction:reverse">it's easy to do</div>

<div data-scrolly-top="moveFromRight, iteration-count:3, direction:alternate">
  it's easy to do
</div>

Timing Function

You can add all CSS pre-defined speed curve ease, ease-in, ease-out, linear of an animation or define your own values with a cubic-bezier function by adding timing-function attribute.

<div data-scrolly-down="blurInTop, timing-function:linear">it's easy to do</div>

<div
  data-scrolly-down="blurInTop, timing-function:cubic-bezier(.17,.67,.83,.67)">
  it's easy to do
</div>

Define Top Offset Value

Set the top animation starting point after it appears on the browser window data-scrolly-offset-top="300px".

<div data-scrolly-down="blurInTop" data-scrolly-offset-top="300px">
  it's easy to do
</div>

Define Bottom Offset Value

Like the top offset the data-scrolly-offset-bottom="500px" attribute can be used to set the bottom starting point of the animation.

<div data-scrolly-down="blurInBottom" data-scrolly-offset-bottom="500px">
  it's easy to do
</div>

On Click Animtion

Initiate the animation with on click event using by data-scrolly-click="fadeIn".

<div data-scrolly-down="blurInBottom" data-scrolly-click="fadeIn">
  I am animate when you click me. Please click
</div>

Mouse Over Animtion

For mouse over animation add the data-scrolly-mouseover="zoomIn" attribute

<div data-scrolly-down="blurInBottom" data-scrolly-mouseover="zoomIn">
  I am animate when you hover me
</div>

Mouse Out Animtion

Add data-scrolly-mouseout="fadeInLeft" attribute to animate on mouse out event.

<div data-scrolly-down="blurInBottom" data-scrolly-mouseout="fadeInLeft">
  I am animate when you click me
</div>

Targeted Object Animate When You Click

Targeted Object Animate When You Click: If you want to animate a content by clicking by another one, follow this simple instruction.

<input
  type="button"
  value="Hit me to Animate targetd object"
  data-srolly-selector="targetElement" />

<div

  data-scrolly-target-click="pushReleaseFromBottom">

<div

  data-scrolly-target-click="flipYZoomIn">
  I am animate your target object when you hover me
</div>
