:rocket: Setup

#1

Choose between:

  • Include this in your <head> section
<link href="node_modules/universal-parallax/dist/universal-parallax.min.css" rel="stylesheet">
  • Or add this CSS
.parallax__container {
	clip: rect(0, auto, auto, 0);
	height: 100%;
	left: 0;
	overflow: hidden;
	position: absolute;
	top: 0;
	width: 100%;
	z-index: -100;
}

.parallax {
	position: fixed;
	top: 0;
	-webkit-transform: translate3d(0, 0, 0);
	transform: translate3d(0, 0, 0);
	-webkit-transform-style: preserve-3d;
	transform-style: preserve-3d;
	width: 100%;

	/* BG behaviour */
	background-position: center;
	background-repeat: no-repeat;
	background-size: cover;
}

:zap: BG behaviour in seperate class gives more flexibility controlling them :zap: SASS version available in /dist folder

#2

If <section> is your container, make the parallax element inside it

<section>
	<div class="parallax" data-parallax-image="path/to/your_image">
</section>

:zap: You can also use background-image to define your image instead of using data-parallax-image=""

#3

Static HTML

Include the script to your project

Put the script at the bottom of your markup right after jQuery

<script src="https://code.jquery.com/jquery-3.4.1.min.js"
  integrity="sha256-CSXorXvZcTkaix6Yvo6HppcZGetbYMGWSFlBw8HfCJo="
  crossorigin="anonymous"></script>
<script src="node_modules/universal-parallax/dist/universal-parallax.min.js"></script>

Load

Webpack

Add jQuery via the "webpack.ProvidePlugin" to your webpack configuration:

//...
plugins: [
    new webpack.ProvidePlugin({
      $: 'jquery',
      jQuery: 'jquery',
      'window.jQuery': 'jquery'
    }),
],
//...

Load the required stylesheet and JS:

import 'universal-parallax/dist/universal-parallax.min.css';
import 'universal-parallax';

#4

Initialize the JS function

<script>
$(document).ready(function(){
  $('.parallax').universalParallax();
});
</script>

That's it! :checkered_flag:

Custom speed

You can change the parallax speed; the higher the number, the slower the parallax effect

$(document).ready(function(){
     $('.parallax').universalParallax({
        speed: 6.0,
    });
});

:zap: speed: 1 is the minimum value before the background image is fixed

Tips

Opacity

If you want your backround color to shine through or dampen the image without making it a .png - just add transparency to it

.parallax {
	opacity: 0.5;
}
