Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

Track React component in viewport using Intersection Observer API

Readme

Library to detect whether or not a component is in the viewport, using the Intersection Observer API

npm install --save react-in-viewport

yarn add react-in-viewport

Examples

Demo

Why

A common use case is to load an image when a component is in the viewport (lazy load).

We have traditionally needed to monitor scroll position and calculate the viewport size, which can be a scroll performance bottleneck.

Modern browsers now provide a new API--Intersection Observer API--which can make implementating this effort much easier and performant.

Polyfill

For browsers not supporting the API, you will need to load a polyfill. Browser support table

require('intersection-observer');

Design

The core logic is written using React Hooks. We provide two interfaces: you can use handleViewport, a higher order component (HOC) for class based components, or use hooks directly, for functional components.

The HOC acts as a wrapper and attaches the intersection observer to your target component. The HOC will then pass down extra props, indicating viewport information and executing a callback function when the component enters and leaves the viewport.

Usages

Using Higher Order Component

When wrapping your component with handleViewport HOC, you will receive inViewport props indicating whether the component is in the viewport or not.

handleViewport HOC accepts three params: handleViewport(Component, Options, Config)

| Params | Type | Description | |-----------|---------------|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| | Component | React Element | Callback function for when the component enters the viewport | | Options | Object | Options you want to pass to Intersection Observer API | | | Config | Object | Configs for HOC (see below) |

Supported config

| Params | Type | Default | Description | |-------------------|---------|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|----------------------------------------------| | disconnectOnLeave | boolean | false | Disconnect intersection observer after leave |

HOC Component Props

| Props | Type | Default | Description | |-----------------|----------|---------|-------------------------------------------------| | onEnterViewport | function | | Callback function for when the component enters the viewport | | onLeaveViewport | function | | Callback function for when the component leaves the viewport |

The HOC preserves onEnterViewport and onLeaveViewport props as a callback

Props passed down by HOC to your component

| Props | Type | Default | Description | |------------|-----------|---------|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------| | inViewport | boolean | false | Whether your component is in the viewport |
| forwardedRef | React ref | | If you are using a functional component, assign this prop as a ref on your component | | enterCount | number | | Numbers of times your component has entered the viewport | | leaveCount | number | | Number of times your component has left the viewport |

NOTE: Stateless: Need to add ref={this.props.forwardedRef} to your component

Example of a functional component

import handleViewport, { type InjectedViewportProps } from 'react-in-viewport';

const Block = (props: InjectedViewportProps<HTMLDivElement>) => {
  const { inViewport, forwardedRef } = props;
  const color = inViewport ? '#217ac0' : '#ff9800';
  const text = inViewport ? 'In viewport' : 'Not in viewport';
  return (
    <div className="viewport-block" ref={forwardedRef}>
      <h3>{ text }</h3>
      <div style={{ width: '400px', height: '300px', background: color }} />
    </div>
  );
};

const ViewportBlock = handleViewport(Block, /** options: {}, config: {} **/);

const Component = (props) => (
  <div>
    <div style={{ height: '100vh' }}>
      <h2>Scroll down to make component in viewport</h2>
    </div>
    <ViewportBlock onEnterViewport={() => console.log('enter')} onLeaveViewport={() => console.log('leave')} />
  </div>
))

Example for enter/leave counts

  • If you need to know how many times the component has entered the viewport, use the prop enterCount.
  • If you need to know how many times the component has left the viewport, use the prop leaveCount.
import React, { Component } from 'react';
import handleViewport from 'react-in-viewport';

class MySectionBlock extends Component {
  getStyle() {
    const { inViewport, enterCount } = this.props;
    //Fade in only the first time we enter the viewport
    if (inViewport && enterCount === 1) {
      return { WebkitTransition: 'opacity 0.75s ease-in-out' };
    } else if (!inViewport && enterCount < 1) {
      return { WebkitTransition: 'none', opacity: '0' };
    } else {
      return {};
    }
  }

  render() {
    const { enterCount, leaveCount } = this.props;
    return (
      <section>
        <div className="content" style={this.getStyle()}>
          <h1>Hello</h1>
          <p>{`Enter viewport: ${enterCount} times`}</p>
          <p>{`Leave viewport: ${leaveCount} times`}</p>
        </div>
      </section>
    );
  }
}
const MySection = handleViewport(MySectionBlock, { rootMargin: '-1.0px' });

export default MySection;

Using Hooks

Alternatively, you can also directly using useInViewport hook which takes similar configuration as HOC.

import React, { useRef } from 'react';
import { useInViewport } from 'react-in-viewport';

const MySectionBlock = () => {
  const myRef = useRef();
  const {
    inViewport,
    enterCount,
    leaveCount,
  } = useInViewport(
    myRef,
    options,
    config = { disconnectOnLeave: false },
    props
  );

  return (
    <section ref={myRef}>
      <div className="content" style={this.getStyle()}>
        <h1>Hello</h1>
        <p>{`Enter viewport: ${enterCount} times`}</p>
        <p>{`Leave viewport: ${leaveCount} times`}</p>
      </div>
    </section>
  );
};

Note

This library is using ReactDOM.findDOMNode to access the DOM from a React element. This method is deprecated in StrictMode. We will update the package and release a major version when React 17 is out.
