Usage
1. Import scroll-helperr component module
<script type="module">
import "https://zuixjs.github.io/zkit/lib/1.2/controllers/scroll-helper.module.js";
</script>2. Add component
Add the scroll helper component inside the host element implementing the scrollbar (usually the body or a div element):
<body>
<scroll-helper z-context="scroll-helper"></scroll-helper>
<!-- content -->
</body>1. Include zuix.js library
If not already included, add the following line right before the end of the head section in the HTML document:
<script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/zuix-dist@1.1.13/js/zuix.min.js"></script>2. Load the scroll helper
Add the ctrl z-load attributes to the host element implementing the scrollbar (usually the body or a div element):
<html>
<!-- ... -->
<body ctrl z-load="https://zuixjs.github.io/zkit/lib/1.2/controllers/scroll-helper"
z-context="scroll-helper">
<!-- ... -->
</body>
</html>Option attributes
z-context="<context_id>"optional
identifier name to be used to access this component from JavaScript.:on:<event_name>="<handler>"optional
set handler function for event<event_name>
Events
scroll:change
Scripting
Get a reference to the component instance:
zuix.context('scroll-helper', (sh) => {
// store a global reference for later use
self.scrollHelper = sh;
});Listen to events
scrollHelper.on('scroll:change', (e, data) => {
switch (data.event) {
case 'hit-top':
// reached top of page
break;
case 'scroll':
if (data.info.shift.y < 0) {
// scrolling up
} else if (data.info.shift.y > 0) {
// scrolling down
}
// for all fields of the data.info
// object see next paragraph
break;
case 'hit-bottom':
// reached end of page
break;
}
});Get scroll information
// get the scroll info object
const info = scrollHelper.info();
info -> {
// last event timestamp
timestamp: 1524263175438,
// movement since previous event
shift: {
x: 0,
y: -3
},
// total scroll area size
size: {
width: 1280,
height: 5281
},
// visible area size and position
viewport: {
x: 0,
y: -3313,
width: 1280,
height: 720
}
}Watching DOM elements
The watch method takes one argument that can be either an element object or a valid DOM query selector expression.
// watch elements having the 'watchable' class
scrollHelper.watch('.watchable', (el, data) => {
switch (data.event) {
case 'enter':
// element entered the visible area
break;
case 'exit':
// element out of the visible area
break;
case 'scroll':
// element is being scrolled in the visible area
break;
case 'off-scroll':
// element is being scrolled out of the visible area
break;
}
});The data object passed to the watch callback is described below
data = {
// event: 'enter' | 'exit' | 'scroll' | 'off-scroll'
event,
// element position, status, rect and frame
x, // float
y, // float
visible, // boolean
rect: { // DOMRect
x,
y,
height,
width,
left,
right,
top,
bottom
},
frame: { // relative center position
dx,
dy,
}
}The frame object represents the position of the center of the element relative to the viewport size. Specifically, dx and dy are float numbers that have values between 0 and 1 when the element is inside the viewport. So when the element is at the center of the viewport, dx and dy will have a value of 0.5.
Otherwise, it will be less than 0 if the element is above the viewport top or lastly greater than 1 when the element is below the viewport bottom.
This value can be used to create responsive and synchronized scroll animations based on current viewport offset and elements position.
Other methods
// scroll to the start of page
scrollHelper.scrollStart( [duration_ms] );
// scroll to the end of page
scrollHelper.scrollEnd( [duration_ms] );
// scroll to element or offset
scrollHelper.scrollTo( element | offset_px );Demos
