Detect if an element is in the viewport using the Intersection Observer API.

Try it in the Svelte REPL.

Usage

Basic

<script>
  import IntersectionObserver from "svelte-intersection-observer";

  let element;
  let intersecting;
</script>

<header class:intersecting>
  {intersecting ? 'Element is in view' : 'Element is not in view'}
</header>

<IntersectionObserver {element} bind:intersecting>
  <div bind:this={element}>Hello world</div>
</IntersectionObserver>

on:intersect event

The "intersect" event is dispatched only if the observed element is intersecting the viewport.

<IntersectionObserver
  {element}
  on:intersect="{(e) => {
    console.log(e.detail); // IntersectionObserverEntry
  }}"
>
  <div bind:this={element}>Hello world</div>
</IntersectionObserver>
