Vue In Viewport Directive

Vue 2 directive that sets CSS classes on its host element based on the elements current position in the viewport. These classes are:

• in-viewport - Some part of the element is within the viewport
• above-viewport - Some part of the element is above the viewport
• below-viewport - Some part of the element is below the viewport

You may want to check out the mixin vesion of this package: vue-in-viewport-mixin.

Usage

Note, this should not be applied to elements / components that are setting a dynamic class through Vue. See this issue.

• Register the directive:

  import Vue from 'vue'
  import inViewportDirective from 'vue-in-viewport-directive'
  Vue.directive('in-viewport', inViewportDirective)

• Use the classes to trigger CSS transitions (for instance):

  <div class='box' v-in-viewport></div>
  <div class='box' v-in-viewport.once='-100px 0px'></div>
  <div class='box' v-in-viewport.once='{ margin: "-10% 0%" }'></div>

  .box {
  	opacity: 0;
  	transition: opacity .3s;
  }
  .box.in-viewport {
  	opacity: 1;
  }

• Set default offsets:

import inViewportDirective from 'vue-in-viewport-directive'
inViewportDirective.defaults.margin = '-10% 0%'
Vue.directive('in-viewport', inViewportDirective)

• Compatibility note: This package requires IE >= 10 because it uses classList. Polyfill classList if you need to support older browsers.
• Compatibility note: This package a polyfill for IntersectionObserver in browsers like IE.

Global methods

You can disable all updates and re-enable them globally:

import { enable, disable } from 'vue-in-viewport-directive'
disable()
setTimeout(enable, 500)

This can be used during full page transitions to trigger all the in viewport transitions only once the page transition finishes.

Arguments

Modifiers

• once - Whether to remove listeners once the element enters viewport. If the element is in viewport when mounted, listeners are never added.

Value

• Set the value to a string in the style of IntersectionObserver rootMargin to apply an offset to when the in viewport classes get added.

  <div v-in-viewport='-100px 0px'></div>

• Or, set it via an option:

  <div v-in-viewport='{ margin: "-100px 0px" }'></div>

• Conditionally disable with disabled:

  <div v-in-viewport='{ disabled: true }'></div>
