Parallax Interface (PXI)

PXI is a lightweight and flexible library for adding mouse-driven parallax effects to your HTML elements, enhancing UI depth and user engagement in any project.

The whole Project is inspired by the iPad Mouse Hover Effect.

Installation

npm install @redbeed/parallax-interface

Usage

import ParallaxInterface from 'parallax-interface';

ParallaxInterface.init();

// or with custom options
ParallaxInterface.init({
    throttleTime: 16, // Throttle time in milliseconds (60fps)
    hitzoneFactor: 1, // Factor for the hitzone size
    mouseMoveFactor: 0.5, // Factor for the mousemove movement
    animationTime: 500, // Animation time in milliseconds
    calculateSize: false, // If true, the wrapper and the element will have a fixed size (based on the element's size)
});

Or you can add the following script to your project directly.

<script src="https://unpkg.com/@redbeed/parallax-interface/dist/parallax-interface.min.js"></script>

HTML

You need to add data-pax to your main element and data-pe-factor to the elements you want to add the parallax effect to.

<a href="#" data-pax>
    <span data-pe-factor>I am a link</span>
</a>

<!-- or with custom options -->
<a href="#" data-pax data-pe-hitzone="1.2">
    <span data-pe-factor="0.5">I am a link</span>
</a>

CSS

To make the parallax effect work, you should add our small CSS snippet to your project.

import 'parallax-interface/dist/parallax-interface.css';

Or you can add the following CSS to your project directly.

<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://unpkg.com/@redbeed/parallax-interface/dist/parallax-interface.css"/>

Troubleshooting

Inline Block Elements

You need to add display: inline-block to your inline elements like span or a, if you want to add the parallax effect.
