ScrollXP is a library that makes it easy to drop scroll-related animations into your website using HTML data attributes. It's a bit like Alpine.js or Tailwind.css ... but for animations.
Creating animations can be tedious. It's not always clear where the code should go and there are a number of common animations you'll likely write over and over again. If you're not careful you JavaScript files can end up a mess. ScrollXP helps you avoid this by exposing a set of data attributes that you can drop directly into your HTML, making common animations quick and easy.
See some simple examples in action:
Via NPM:
$ npm install gsap scrollxp --save
Note: You need to use GSAP 3 or greater.
Include it in your script:
import ScrollXP from "scrollxp"Or via CDN:
<script src="https://unpkg.com/gsap/dist/gsap.min.js"></script>
<script src="https://unpkg.com/scrollxp/dist/scrollxp.min.js"></script>new ScrollXP({
container: document.body,
})ScrollXP uses GSAP (GreenSock) and ScrollMagic under-the-hood.
ScrollXP relies on the concept of "scenes" from ScrollMagic. A scene is a
section of page that will act as a container or scope for particular animations.
You define these scenes by adding the data-scene attribute to elements. You
then add the animations you want to perform within the scene.
Check the documentation about how to create scenes, animations and parallax effect.
