What problem does it solve?

Scroll-triggered animations that are performant and accessible, replacing expensive scroll listeners and honoring motion preferences.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • IntersectionObserver-based reveal: Efficiently detects visibility to trigger animations.
  • Accessibility-conscious: Supports prefers-reduced-motion and focus considerations to ensure usable UX.
  • Progressive enhancement: Works with and without JavaScript; elements reveal gracefully or fallback gracefully.
  • Use Cases: Animate sections on scroll, stagger grids, lazily initialize data or assets as they appear.

Quick Start

Add the scroll-reveal utility to your project and apply the reveal class to elements you want animated.

FAQPage Schema
How do I trigger scroll animations with IntersectionObserver instead of scroll listeners?â–¼

Implement entrance animations on scroll using IntersectionObserver with threshold and rootMargin configurations, applying CSS-driven state transitions to reveal elements and unobserving them after the first reveal to maintain web performance.

What is the best way to make scroll-triggered animations accessible for motion sensitivity?â–¼

Accessible entrance animations require prefers-reduced-motion fallbacks that bypass CSS transitions, ensuring elements appear immediately for users with motion sensitivity while maintaining content visibility and keyboard focus considerations.

Can I create staggered directional reveals for grid items entering the viewport?â–¼

Yes, you can stagger directional reveals for grid items by applying the reveal class to child elements, configuring IntersectionObserver to detect viewport entry, and sequencing CSS-driven state transitions for each item.

Does this scroll reveal utility work without JavaScript for progressive enhancement?â–¼

Yes, the scroll reveal utility supports progressive enhancement; elements reveal gracefully via default CSS visibility, and JavaScript progressively enhances UX by triggering directional entrance animations when elements enter the viewport.

Why should I unobserve elements after the first reveal in IntersectionObserver?â–¼

Unobserve elements after the first reveal to prevent redundant IntersectionObserver callbacks, optimize web performance, and ensure entrance animations fire exactly once per element during scroll navigation.
