Usage

Smoothly scroll to the #example element:

Skater('#example')

Skater also accepts a number or an Element as the first argument:

Skater(200)
Skater(document.getElementById('example'))

Skater returns an object with start and stop functions:

skater = Skater(1000)
skater.stop()
setTimeout(() => skater.start(), 500)

Options

Skater takes an optional second argument with customizable options. These are the defaults:

Skater('#example', {
  callbackFn: undefined,
  containerTarget: undefined,
  durationFn: undefined,
  durationMs: 1000,
  easingFn: easeInOutQuad,
  offset: {x: 0, y: 0},
  scrollDirection = 'y'
})

callbackFn

Execute a callback after scrolling:

Skater('#example', {
  callbackFn: function () {
    alert('done!')
  }
})

containerTarget

Scroll inside specified container:

Skater('#example', {
  containerTarget: '#container'
})

// Elements can also be passed directly
Skater('#example', {
  containerTarget: document.querySelector('#container')
})

durationFn

Set a custom duration using a function takes one argument that includes x and y scroll distance. This duration overrides durationMs.

Skater('#example', {
  durationFn: function (position) {
    return Math.log(position.x * position.y)
  }
})

durationMs

Set a custom duration in milliseconds.

Skater('#example', {
  durationMs: 123456
})

easingFn

Custom easing function using the jquery-easing function signature.

Skater('#example', {
  easingFn: function (deltaTime, startValue, deltaValue, totalTime) {
    return startValue + ((deltaTime / totalTime) * deltaValue)
  }
})

offset

Set a scroll position offset from the target. Both x and y properties must be defined.

Skater('#example', {
  offset: {
    x: 0,
    y: 100
  }
});

scrollDirection

Scroll vertically, horizontally, or both simultaneously:

Skater('#example', {
  scrollDirection: 'y'
})

Skater('#example', {
  scrollDirection: 'x'
})

Skater('#example', {
  scrollDirection: 'xy'
})
