We all want to make this cool website with all these amazing features, well I'll help with some of those features like;
-
React-scroll: This react component that helps to animate vertical scrolling on your webpage/web app. Cool right🤗 ?
-
React intersection observer: This is another amazing js component that you can implement in your web project to do anything like animation, text/ background color change, etc. The react intersection observer tells you when an element enters a certain viewport.
Why all this explanation with no example 🙄, Don't worry I got you covered ;).
This is an example of using the above react components in your web project.
The link to check out the above demonstration is here or check out my git repo here
Let get buildy 👷🏻♂️🛠️
Technologies Used
After a successful Installation of the above technologies, the folders in code editor should be similar to:
Step 1
Go to your Index.js file inside the pages folder and
import theses necessary components to be used in the example
import { Link, Element } from "react-scroll"; import { useInView } from "react-intersection-observer"; The Link class imported from the react-scroll component serves as a link to the Element class also imported.
Which means the Link_scrolls to the specified _Element.
Whereby the useInView hook checks if a particular element is in view when scrolling action a]happens on the screen.
Step 2
Copy this into the Home default function
// These are references to each page shown const { ref: PAGE_ONE, inView: viewOne } = useInView({ threshold: 0.3, }); const { ref: PAGE_TWO, inView: viewTwo } = useInView({ threshold: 0.3, }); const { ref: PAGE_THREE, inView: viewThree } = useInView({ threshold: 0.3, }); const { ref: PAGE_FOUR, inView: viewFour } = useInView({ threshold: 0.3, }); // An array of each page and its details const pagesAndDetails = [ { title: "PAGE_ONE", details: "Details of Page One" }, { title: "PAGE_TWO", details: "Details of Page Two" }, { title: "PAGE_THREE", details: "Details of Page Three" }, { title: "PAGE_FOUR", details: "Details of Page Four" }, ]; // An array of each page's colors const colors = ["#b8c7ce ", "#E9E948", "#f1f1f1 ", "#7bc191"]; Step 3
Copt this into the return function
<> <Head> <title>React Scroll Web</title> <meta name="description" content="An example of a react scroll website" /> <link rel="icon" href="/favicon.ico" /> </Head> <div className="w-full"> <div className="flex flex-wrap items-center justify-between px-12 fixed"> <Link activeClass="active" to="PAGE ONE" spy smooth duration={700} className="px-3 py-3 mb-2 bg-[#b8c7ce] rounded-xl border-2 border-white cursor-pointer mr-4" > {viewOne ?

Step 4
Run the project
npm run dev // or yarn dev Great work 🎊🎊🎉🎉
There are more better ways to use these components in your project this is just a simple example.
Look out for more amazing JS components.
