I've been trying to use gatsby-plugin-scroll-reveal
which uses Sal.js to animate a hero section on my site. I'm trying to make it so that the text in the hero fades in then fades out as you scroll down the page. Right now, I can only get it to fade in. How can I make that happen with Sal.js or another way?
I also tried a different way by creating a component that uses IntersectionObserver DOM API but I couldn't get that to work really.
Here's the component:
import React from 'react';
import ReactDOM from 'react-dom';
function FadeInSection(props) {
const [isVisible, setVisible] = React.useState(true);
const domRef = React.useRef();
React.useEffect(() => {
const observer = new IntersectionObserver(entries => {
entries.forEach(entry => setVisible(entry.isIntersecting));
});
observer.observe(domRef.current);
return () => observer.unobserve(domRef.current);
}, []);
return (
<div
className={`fade-in-section ${isVisible ? 'is-visible' : ''}`}
ref={domRef}
>
{props.children}
</div>
);
}
export default FadeInSection
I figured out a solution from this article: https://markoskon.com/scroll-reveal-animations-with-react-spring/
So, I'm using the react-spring to create reveal animations on scroll and react-visibility-sensor to see if the I want animated element is visible.
// App.js
import React from "react";
import { Spring } from "react-spring/renderprops";
import VisibilitySensor from "react-visibility-sensor";
<VisibilitySensor once>
{({ isVisible }) => (
<Spring delay={100} to={{ opacity: isVisible ? 1 : 0 }}>
{({ opacity }) => <h1 style={{opacity}}>Title</h1>}
</Spring>
)}
</VisibilitySensor>
