scrollus v0.2.1

Scrolling for the masses. A lightweight library for browser viewport positioning. It uses a high-performance Bézier curve computation library for easing support so that it does strain browser as least as possible.

Usage

You can include the lib/scrollus.js file created with npm run build directly into the browser

<script src="scrollus.js"></script>

or use the library as a module

import scrollus from 'scrollus'

The lib/scrollus.js file is already included in npm registry repository for convenience.

scrollus.to(target, duration, [options])

A just scroll method. Parameters: target can be a DOM element, a CSS selector, an array, or an object with x and y properties; duration specifies animation time in miliseconds; and options is an optional configuration object.

Examples

scrollus.to(element, 1000) // Scroll to DOM `element` with linear easing in 1 second.
scrollus.to([0, 500], 200) // Scroll to 500 px from top of the document and 0 px from the left with linear easing in 200 ms.
scrollus.to({y: 500}, 200) // Same as above.
scrollus.to('#submit-button', 400, {
  easing: scrollus.ease.inOutSine
}) // Scroll to element selected by '#submit-button' query with sine easing in 400 ms.

scrollus.toElement(target, duration, [options])

Scrolls to given DOM Element instance. Just a more strict version of to method.

Examples

var a = document.getElementById('submit-button')
scrollus.to(a, 500, {
  easing: scrollus.ease.inOutSine
})

scrollus.toVertical(position, duration, [options])

Scrolls to position number of pixels from the top of the container. Horizontal position is set to 0 for now.

scrollus.toHorizontal(position, duration, [options])

Scrolls to position number of pixels from the left side of the container. Vertical position is set to 0 for now.

Options object

Currently options parameter accepts an object with the following properties:

• easing - a function which given a number in range 0, 1 produces a number in the same range. Conveniently scrollus has many easings like linear or inOutCubic predefined and accesible through ease property, e.g. scrollus.ease.inOutCubic

Roadmap to 1.0

• Redesign and lock the API
• Minify and optimise browser-targeted output file
• Implement chaining of methods
• Enable use of any container for scrolling
• Add pixel offsets to options
• Add events
  • onStart
  • onProgress with cancel callback for aborting scrolling
  • onEnd
• Add easingX and easingY options to enforce given easing in x or y axis respectively
• Add cancellable option so that scrolling can be aborted by user input (e.g. mouse wheel scroll)
• Add option to change where viewport center should be at the end (e.g. top-right corner of element, center)
• Allow construction of custom easings through custom-parametrized bezier factory.
• Tests (in browser)
