<script src="/js/trig.min.js"></script>

<script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/trig-js/src/trig.min.js"></script>

How To Use?

To activate trig.js add the data attribute "data-trig" or a class "enable-trig" to your html element. To trigger animations trig.js will place classes of "trig", as well as "trig-up" or "trig-down", onto your element when it appears on screen and depending from which direction.

<div class="fadeIn" data-trig> </div>

.fadeIn{ 
    opacity:0;
}
.fadeIn.trig{ 
    animation: fadeIn 1s normal forwards ease-in-out; 
}
@keyframes fadeIn { 
  0% { 
    opacity:0;
  } 
  100% { 
    opacity:1; 
  } 
}

Scroll Animations

Trig.js calculates the percentage that the element is on screen and creates CSS variables that you can use with CSS transform etc.

<div class="element" data-trig data-trig-var="true"> </div>

.element{ 
    transform: translateX( var(--trig) );
}

The CSS variables you can use by adding data-trig-var="true", data-trig-pixels="true" or data-trig-degrees="true" are:

var(--trig) /* Percentage */
var(--trig-reverse) /* Reverse percentage */
var(--trig-px) /* Pixels */
var(--trig-px-reverse) /* Reverse pixels */
var(--trig-deg) /* Degrees */
var(--trig-deg-reverse) /* Reverse degrees */

The data attribute will also update in increments of 10 so you can use CSS attribute selectors like:

[data-trig-var="50"],
[data-trig-var="60"],
[data-trig-var="70"],
[data-trig-var="80"],
[data-trig-var="90"],
[data-trig-var="100"]{
  transform: translateX( var(--trig) );
} 

for more control.

Scroll Direction

Trig.js creates a class of "trig-scroll-up" or "trig-scroll-down" onto the body of the document depending on the last scroll direction.

Scroll Position

Trig.js creates a class of "trig-scroll-top" or "trig-scroll-bottom" onto the body of the document depending on the last scroll position. To give the ability to make something happen at different break points down the page. The classes "trig-scroll-25", "trig-scroll-50" and "trig-scroll-75" are added to the body of the document depending on the scroll position percentage down the page.

Data Attributes

You can use the below data attributes for additional features

<div id="yourelement" data-trig-min="-100" data-trig-max="100" data-trig-offset="0" data-trig-negativeOffset="0" data-trig-height="0" data-trig-global="false" data-trig> </div>
