## Installation

``` r
# install.packages("remotes")
remotes::install_github("RinteRface/waypointer")
```

## Guide

1. Place `use_waypointer()` anywhere in your ui.
2. Create a waypoint with `new` method, giving it _at least_ the id of the element to watch.
3. Start the waypoint with the `start` method.
4. Watch the waypoint with the `get_direction` method.

## Methods

Note that the `get_*` family of methods return character vectors and not the waypoint, unlike others.

1. `new` - create a waypoint.
2. `start` - start watching the waypoint.
3. `enable` - enable the waypoint (enabled by default)
4. `disable` - disable the waypoint.
5. `destroy` - destroy the waypoint.
6. `animate` - animate the waypoint, see `?.init` for the full list.
7. `get_direction` - returns the direction in which the user scrolls passed the waypoint (`up` or `down`)
8. `get_triggered` - returns `TRUE` if the waypoint has been triggered previously, and `FALSE` otherwise.

## Arguments

All the arguments are passed to the `new` method, at the expection of `animation` which can _also_ be passed to the `animate` method.

- `dom_id` - Id of element to watch.
- `animate` - Set to `TRUE` to automatically animate when the waypoint is triggered.
- `animation` - Name of animation, defaults to `shake`.
- `offset` - By default, the handler is triggered when the top of an element hits the top of the viewport. The offset changes the location of that trigger point.
- `horizontal` - When horizontal is set to true, all of this changes to the horizontal axis and the `get_direction` method will return `left` or `right`.
- `id` - Id of waypoint. When used you can replace the `get_*` family of methods to traditional shiny inputs, e.g. if the `id` of the waypoint is set to `myInput` then you can obtain the `direction` in your shiny server with `input$myInput_direction`.

## Examples

Create a waypoint with `waypoint$new()` passing _at least_ the id of the element to observe as `dom_id` (first argument). Note that technically the `get_*` family of methods are `input`s, you therefore may need to use `shiny::req` where needed (see below).

``` r
library(shiny)
library(waypointer)

ui <- fluidPage(
use_waypointer(),
div(
h1("Scroll down"),
style = "min-height:90vh"
),
verbatimTextOutput("result"),
plotOutput("plot"),
div(style = "min-height:90vh")
)

server <- function(input, output, session) {

w <- Waypoint$
new("plot", offset = "20%")$
start()

output$result <- renderPrint({
w$get_direction()
})

output$plot <- renderPlot({

req(w$going_down())

# show if scrolling down
if(w$going_down())
hist(runif(100))
})

}

shinyApp(ui, server)
```

Note that in the above we use the `get_direction` method to get the direction in which the user is scrolling, _relative to_ the given `dom_id`. However if you provide an `id` when initialising the waypoint then you can use the traditional way of accessing callbacks: `input$id_direction`. The example below would then look like:

``` r
library(shiny)
library(waypointer)

ui <- fluidPage(
use_waypointer(),
div(
h1("Scroll down"),
style = "min-height:90vh"
),
verbatimTextOutput("result"),
plotOutput("plot"),
div(style = "min-height:90vh")
)

server <- function(input, output, session) {

w <- Waypoint$
new("plot", offset = "20%", id = "myWaypoint")$
start()

output$result <- renderPrint({
w$get_direction()
})

output$plot <- renderPlot({

req(input$myWaypoint_direction)

# show if scrolling down
if(input$myWaypoint_direction == "down")
hist(runif(100))
})

}

shinyApp(ui, server)
```

You can also animate the waypoint, setting `animate` to `TRUE` will automatically animate the waypoint when is triggered.

```r
library(shiny)
library(waypointer)

ui <- fluidPage(
use_waypointer(),
div(
"Scroll!",
style = "min-height:90vh"
),
verbatimTextOutput("result"),
plotOutput("plot"),
div(style = "min-height:90vh")
)

server <- function(input, output, session) {

w <- Waypoint$
new(
"plot",
offset = "20%",
animate = TRUE,
id = "waypoint"
)$
start()

output$result <- renderPrint({
input$waypoint_direction
})

output$plot <- renderPlot({

req(input$waypoint_direction)

if(input$waypoint_direction == "down")
hist(runif(100))
})

}

shinyApp(ui, server)
```

Otherwise you may use the `animate` method to manually trigger the animation.

```r
library(shiny)
library(waypointer)

ui <- fluidPage(
use_waypointer(),
div(
"Scroll!",
style = "min-height:90vh"
),
verbatimTextOutput("result"),
plotOutput("plot"),
div(style = "min-height:90vh")
)

server <- function(input, output, session) {

w <- Waypoint$
new("plot", offset = "20%")$
start()

output$result <- renderPrint({
w$get_direction()
})

output$plot <- renderPlot({

req(w$get_direction())

hist(runif(100))
w$animate()
})

}

shinyApp(ui, server)
```
