Sensor component for React that notifies you when it goes in or out of the window viewport.



Sponsored by [X-Team](https://x-team.com)



Install

----



`npm install react-visibility-sensor`



### Including the script directly



Useful if you want to use with bower, or in a plain old `` tag.



In this case, make sure that `React` and `ReactDOM` are already loaded and globally accessible.



- Plain: <https://unpkg.com/[email protected]/dist/visibility-sensor.js>

- Minified <https://unpkg.com/[email protected]/dist/visibility-sensor.min.js>



Take a look at the [umd example](./example-umd/) to see this in action



Example

Or if you'd like to try building an example yourself locally, here's another:



[View the example](https://joshwnj.github.io/react-visibility-sensor/)



To run the example locally:



- `npm run build-example`

- open `example/index.html` in a browser



General usage goes something like:



```js

const VisibilitySensor = require('react-visibility-sensor');



function onChange (isVisible) {

  console.log('Element is now %s', isVisible ? 'visible' : 'hidden');

}



function MyComponent (props) {

  return (

    <VisibilitySensor onChange={onChange}>

      <div>...content goes here...</div>

    </VisibilitySensor>

  );

}

```



You can also pass a child function, which can be convenient if you don't need to store the visibility anywhere:



```js

function MyComponent (props) {

  return (

    <VisibilitySensor>

      {({isVisible}) =>

        <div>I am {isVisible ? 'visible' : 'invisible'}</div>

      }

    </VisibilitySensor>

  );

}

```



Props

----



- `onChange`: callback for whenever the element changes from being within the window viewport or not. Function is called with 1 argument `(isVisible: boolean)`

- `active`: (default `true`) boolean flag for enabling / disabling the sensor.  When `active !== true` the sensor will not fire the `onChange` callback.

- `partialVisibility`: (default `false`) consider element visible if only part of it is visible. Also possible values are - 'top', 'right', 'bottom', 'left' - in case it's needed to detect when one of these become visible explicitly.

- `offset`: (default `{}`) with offset you can define amount of px from one side when the visibility should already change. So in example setting `offset={{top:10}}` means that the visibility changes hidden when there is less than 10px to top of the viewport. Offset works along with `partialVisibility`

- `minTopValue`: (default `0`) consider element visible if only part of it is visible and a minimum amount of pixels could be set, so if at least 100px are in viewport, we mark element as visible.

- `intervalCheck`: (default `true`) when this is true, it gives you the possibility to check if the element is in view even if it wasn't because of a user scroll

- `intervalDelay`: (default `100`) integer, number of milliseconds between checking the element's position in relation the the window viewport. Making this number too low will have a negative impact on performance.

- `scrollCheck`: (default: `false`) by making this true, the scroll listener is enabled.

- `scrollDelay`: (default: `250`) is the debounce rate at which the check is triggered. Ex: 250ms after the user stopped scrolling.

- `scrollThrottle`: (default: `-1`) by specifying a value > -1, you are enabling throttle instead of the delay to trigger checks on scroll event. Throttle supercedes delay.

- `resizeCheck`: (default: `false`) by making this true, the resize listener is enabled. Resize listener only listens to the window.

- `resizeDelay`: (default: `250`) is the debounce rate at which the check is triggered. Ex: 250ms after the user stopped resizing.

- `resizeThrottle`: (default: `-1`) by specifying a value > -1, you are enabling throttle instead of the delay to trigger checks on resize event. Throttle supercedes delay.

- `containment`: (optional) element to use as a viewport when checking visibility. Default behaviour is to use the browser window as viewport.

- `delayedCall`: (default `false`) if is set to true, wont execute on page load ( prevents react apps triggering elements as visible before styles are loaded )

- `children`: can be a React element or a function.  If you provide a function, it will be called with 1 argument `{isVisible: ?boolean, visibilityRect: Object}`



It's possible to use both `intervalCheck` and `scrollCheck` together. This means you can detect most visibility changes quickly with `scrollCheck`, and an `intervalCheck` with a higher `intervalDelay` will act as a fallback for other visibility events, such as resize of a container.
