In the past, determining an element's visibility or the relative visibility of two elements in relation to one another has been a challenging problem for which solutions have been unreliable and prone to slowing down the user's browser and the websites they are browsing. The demand for this kind of information has increased as the web has developed. There are several reasons why intersection information is necessary, including:

Lazy loading of pictures or other content as you scroll the page.
For "infinite scrolling" websites, where content loads and is displayed as you scroll, this eliminates the need for the user to turn pages.
Reporting on the presence of ads so that ad revenues can be calculated.
Choosing whether or not to perform tasks or animation processes based on whether or not the result will be seen by the user.

Features

🚸 Support both both esm and cjs modules
✨ Visibility time tracked for you
🚀 Optimized performance
👌 Hooks - it's easier than ever to monitor elements
👥 Uses native API
📝 Written in TypeScript - It'll fit right into your existing TypeScript project

💥 Tiny bundle

=== More will be added in a future releases ===

 interface Options {
  root: RefObject<any> | Document;
  callback: (data: InViewDataTypes) => void;
  rootMargin: string;
  threshold: number;
  observeOnce: boolean;
  getLastVisibleData?: boolean;
};

Options used for constrolling the behavoir of the observer;

callback is a function that will be called
when the observer is fired use it for your own logic.

Example

Hooks

import React from "react";
import { useInViewTrigger } from "react-intersections";

export const App = () => {
  const rootRef = React.useRef<HTMLDivElement>(null);
  const { targetRef, inView, visibilityTime, entry } =
    useInViewTrigger(options); // options are optional
  return (
    <div>
      <p ref={targetRef}></p>
    </div>
  );
};

API

Options

Provide these as the options argument in the useInViewTrigger hook

Name	Type	Default	Description
root	Element	document	The Intersection Observer interface's read-only root property identifies the Element or Document
rootMargin	string	0px	Margin around the root (css margin property )
threshold	number or number[]	0.5	Number between `0` and `1` indicating the percentage that should be visible before triggering. Can also be an array of numbers, to create multiple trigger
observeOnce	boolean	false	Only trigger the observer once (i.e. when the target is appear for first time)
callback	function	(data) => void	A function that will be called when the observer is fired, the callback will give you the data as a parameter to use for your logic (use it for your own logic)
getLastVisibleData	boolean	false	Boolean flag for getting the last data before visiblity changes to false (best for when the user is navigate to an other route)
