npm

A lightweight, highly customizable cursor event framework for the web.

Installation

Via CDN

<script src="https://unpkg.com/custcur@0.2.4/dist/bundle.js"></script>

Via Yarn or NPM

Install in terminal:

yarn add custcur
npm i custcur

Initialize a custom cursor with default options:

import CustCur from 'custcur';

const cursor = new CustCur();

Usage

You can pass an options object as a parameter to the constructor in order to overwrite defaults:

const options = {
	target: document.querySelector('.section-1'),
	tag: 'div',
	classes: {
		base: 'cursor',
		hover: 'cursor-hover',
		click: 'cursor-click',
	},
};

const cursor = new CustCur(options);

You can also assign an existing html element as your custom cursor node:

const cursor = new CustCur({
	target: window,
	node: document.querySelector('.custom-cursor'),
});

The tag and classes.base parameters will get completely ignored if a node is present. Nevertheless the specified node will get the defined event classes when an related event occures within the defined target.
