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', { wait: 200 } );
// Animation
origin : 'bottom',
distance : '20px',
duration : 500,
delay : 0,
rotate : { x: 0, y: 0, z: 0 },
opacity : 0,
scale : 0.9,
easing : 'cubic-bezier( 0.6, 0.2, 0.1, 1 )',
// Options
container : null,
mobile : true,
reset : false,
useDelay : 'always',
viewFactor : 0.20,
viewOffset : { top: 0, right: 0, bottom: 0, left: 0 },
afterReveal : function( domEl ) {},
afterReset : function( domEl ) {}
key | type | values | notes |
---|---|---|---|

500 |
Time in milliseconds. |
delay | number |
0 |
Time in milliseconds. |

{ x: 0, y: 0, z: 0 } |
Starting angle in degrees. |

scale | number |
0.9 |

'ease' 'ease-in' 'ease-out' 'ease-in-out' 'cubic-bezier()' |
Any valid CSS easing will work. |
container | node |
document.getElementById('foo') |
|
mobile | boolean |
true / false |

reset | boolean |
true / false |
Elements reveal either once, or reset to reveal each time they are within viewport/container bounds. |
useDelay | string |
'always' 'once' 'onload' |
Control when elements use animation delay. |
viewFactor | number |
0.20 |
e.g. 20% of an element must be within viewport/container bounds before it reveals. |
viewOffset | object /number |
{ top: 48, bottom: 24 } |
Increase viewport/container bounds in pixels. (See Diagram) |
afterReveal | function |
function( domEl ) {} |
Fires after reveal animations. |
afterReset | function |
function( domEl ) {} |
Fires after reset animations. |
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()
.reveal( '.foo', fooReveal )
.reveal( '#chocolate', { delay: 500, scale: 0.9 } );
The default container is the viewport, but you 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>
var fooContainer = document.getElementById('fooContainer');
var barContainer = document.getElementById('barContainer');
window.sr = ScrollReveal()
.reveal( '.foo', { container: fooContainer } );
.reveal( '.bar', { container: barContainer } );
The sync()
method updates asynchronously loaded content with any existing reveal sets.
Example:
<!-- index.html -->
<div id="container">
<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 ScrollReveal be called (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>
<body>
<!-- All the things... -->
<script src="js/scrollreveal.min.js"></script>
<script>
window.sr = ScrollReveal();
</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>
<script>
// If JavaScript is enabled, add '.js-enabled' to <html> element
document.documentElement.classList.add('js-enabled');
</script>
<style>
/* Ensure elements load hidden before ScrollReveal runs */
.js-enabled .fooReveal { visibility: hidden; }
</style>
</head>
<body>
<!-- All the things... -->
<script src="js/scrollreveal.min.js"></script>
<script>
window.sr = ScrollReveal();
sr.reveal('.fooReveal');
</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>
<script>
document.documentElement.classList.add('js-enabled');
</script>
<style>
.js-enabled .fooReveal { visibility: hidden; }
.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>
<script src="js/scrollreveal.min.js"></script>
<script>
window.sr = ScrollReveal();
sr.reveal( '.fooReveal', { rotate: {x: 65} } );
</script>
</body>
</html>
