Installation

HTML (CDN)

Register the custom elements automatically from a CDN:

<script src="https://unpkg.com/remarqueeble"></script>

Mirrors:

• https://unpkg.com/remarqueeble
• https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/remarqueeble

Use a pinned version in production:

<script src="https://unpkg.com/remarqueeble@0.6.0"></script>

If you want the API instead of auto-registration, import the ES module directly:

<script type="module">
    import { defineRemarqueebleElements } from 'https://unpkg.com/remarqueeble@0.6.0/dist/remarqueeble.mjs'

    defineRemarqueebleElements()
</script>

npm

Install the package first:

npm install remarqueeble

Then register the custom elements automatically:

import 'remarqueeble/auto'

Or import the explicit API:

import { defineRemarqueebleElements } from 'remarqueeble'

defineRemarqueebleElements()

TypeScript declarations are included with the package.

Bundlers normally minify production builds for you, so npm users should prefer the package exports above instead of importing files from dist/ directly.

Direct download

Download the package tarball or individual files from npm/CDN:

• https://www.npmjs.com/package/remarqueeble
• https://unpkg.com/remarqueeble/dist/
• https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/remarqueeble/dist/

The browser-ready auto-registration file is dist/remarqueeble-auto.min.js.

Distribution files:

• dist/remarqueeble.mjs: ES module library API.
• dist/remarqueeble.cjs: CommonJS library API.
• dist/remarqueeble-auto.mjs: ES module auto-registration entry.
• dist/remarqueeble-auto.cjs: CommonJS auto-registration entry.
• dist/remarqueeble-auto.min.js: minified classic browser auto-registration.
• dist/lite.css: CSS-only marquee styles.
• dist/lite.min.css: minified CSS-only marquee styles.

Usage

After registration, use either element name:

<re-marquee>Default marquee behaviour.</re-marquee>
<re-marquee-ble direction="right">Rightward marquee behaviour.</re-marquee-ble>

Attributes

<re-marquee>ble follows the legacy marquee attribute names where practical:

• animate: always, overflow, or never. Defaults to always.
• behavior: scroll, slide, or alternate.
• direction: left, right, up, or down.
• scrollamount: step size as a non-negative number or CSS length. Unitless numbers are pixels.
• scrolldelay: delay between steps in milliseconds.
• truespeed: keeps delays under 60ms instead of clamping them.
• loop: positive loop count, or -1 for infinite scrolling.
• bgcolor, width, height, hspace, vspace: presentational hints mapped to CSS.

API

Each element exposes the legacy methods:

const marquee = document.querySelector('re-marquee')

marquee.stop()
marquee.start()

Remarquee Lite

For a CSS-only marquee, import remarqueeble/lite.css or load dist/lite.css directly. For direct CDN usage, dist/lite.min.css is also available.

<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://unpkg.com/remarqueeble/dist/lite.css" />

<div class="re-marquee" style="--re-marquee-duration: 12s;">
    <div class="re-marquee__track">CSS-only marquee</div>
</div>

The lite CSS follows the simpler pure-CSS pattern and does not require duplicated content. It does not emulate legacy <marquee> measurement, behavior, scrollamount, scrolldelay, or finite loop handling.

When prefers-reduced-motion: reduce is active, animation is disabled and the content is shown statically.

Optional classes:

• re-marquee--reverse: scroll in the opposite direction.
• re-marquee--vertical: scroll vertically.
• re-marquee--paused: pause the animation.
• re-marquee--pause-on-hover: pause while hovered.

CSS variables:

• --re-marquee-duration: animation duration. Defaults to 20s.
• --re-marquee-timing-function: animation timing function. Defaults to linear, and accepts values such as steps(24, end).
• --re-marquee-start-pos: starting transform position. Defaults to 0.
• --re-marquee-end-pos: ending transform position. Defaults to -100%.

Development

npm install
npm run dev
npm run build

The library source lives in src/lib. The documentation site is built with Astro and lives in the rest of src.

Release automation is available through release-it. A release runs checks, builds, publishes the npm package, pushes the release commit and tag, creates a GitHub release, uploads dist/*, then publishes docs:

npm run release:dry-run
npm run release

If docs publishing fails after the package release, rerun it directly:

npm run docs:publish

Before running a real release, make sure RELEASE_IT_GITHUB_TOKEN is set and npm whoami --registry https://registry.npmjs.org/ passes. Release-it prompts for an npm OTP when npm requires one.
