# RELLAX
[](https://www.npmjs.org/package/rellax)
[](https://bundlephobia.com/result?p=rellax)
[](https://bundlephobia.com/result?p=rellax)
Rellax is a buttery smooth, super lightweight, vanilla javascript parallax library. **Update:** Rellax now works on mobile (v1.0.0).
* [Demo Website](https://dixonandmoe.com/rellax/)
## Getting Started
### Using npm
`npm install rellax --save`
### Using yarn
`yarn add rellax`
### CDN
``
### Download Locally
if you're old school like us download and insert `rellax.min.js` in your html
```html
I’m that default chill speed of "-2"
I’m super fast!!
I’m extra slow and smooth
// Accepts any class name
var rellax = new Rellax('.rellax');
```
```html
// Also can pass in optional settings block
var rellax = new Rellax('.rellax', {
speed: -2,
center: false,
wrapper: null,
round: true,
vertical: true,
horizontal: false
});
```
## Features
### Speed
Use the `data-rellax-speed` attribute to set the speed of a `.rellax` element to something other than the default value (which is `-2`). A negative value will make it move slower than regular scrolling, and a positive value will make it move faster. We recommend keeping the speed between `-10` and `10`.
#### Responsive Speed
Use responsive speed attributes for breakpoint levels that require a different speed. Defaults to the `data-rellax-speed` setting in unspecified breakpoints.
```html
I parallax at all different speeds depending on your screen width.
```
Pass an array of breakpoints. Each breakpoint value represents the resolution for mobile, tablet, desktop respectively. Checkout the responsiveness of the [`demo`](https://dixonandmoe.com/rellax/)
```html
// This is the default setting
var rellax = new Rellax('.rellax', {
breakpoints: [576, 768, 1201]
});
```
### Centering
After some fantastic work from [@p-realinho](https://github.com/p-realinho), we just released the ability to center parallax elements in your viewport! We'll be building a nice demo website, but for now check out the tests folder for several examples of how it works.
There's two ways to implement centering, either on specific elements or as a global option.
1. #### Element-wise Centering
- Add the ```data-rellax-percentage="0.5"``` to a specific html element
```html
I’m that default chill speed of "-2" and "centered"
I’m super fast!! And super centered!!
I’m extra slow and smooth, and hella centered.
```
2. #### Global Centering
- To activate the center feature in your whole html, add the code your `` tag or JS file:
```html
<script>
// Center all the things!
var rellax = new Rellax('.rellax', {
center: true
});
```
### Z-index
If you want to sort your elements properly in the Z space, you can use the data-rellax-zindex property
```html
I’m that default chill speed of "-2" and default z-index of 0
I’m super fast!! And on top of the previous element, I'm z-index 5!!
```
### Horizontal Parallax
Horizontal parallax is disabled by default. You can enable it by passing `horizontal: true` in the settings block.
This feature is intended for panoramic style websites, where users scroll horizontally instead of vertically.
Note that this can work together at the same time with the default vertical parallax. If you do not want this, pass `vertical: false` in the settings block.
```html
// Adding horizantal parallax scrolling
var rellax = new Rellax('.rellax', {
// Activate horizantal scrolling
// Turned off by default
horizontal: true
//Deactivate vertical scrolling
vertical: false
});
```
### Custom Wrapper
By default, the position of parallax elements is determined via the scroll position of the body. Passing in the `wrapper` property will tell Rellax to watch that element instead.
```html
// Set wrapper to .custom-element instead of the body
var rellax = new Rellax('.rellax', {
wrapper: '.custom-element'
});
```
### Refresh
```html
// Start Rellax
var rellax = new Rellax('.rellax');
// Destroy and create again parallax with previous settings
rellax.refresh();
```
### Destroy
```html
// Start Rellax
var rellax = new Rellax('.rellax');
// End Rellax and reset parallax elements to their original positions
rellax.destroy();
```
### Callback
```html
// Start Rellax
var rellax = new Rellax('.rellax-blur-card', {
callback: function(positions) {
// callback every position change
console.log(positions);
}
});
```
### Target node
Instead of using a className you can use a node, handy when using React and you want to use `refs` instead of `className`.
```jsx
{ this.rellaxRef = ref }}>
I’m that default chill speed of "-2"
var rellax = new Rellax(this.rellaxRef)
```

## Development
In the spirit of lightweight javascript, the build processes (thus far) is lightweight also.
1. Open demo.html
2. Make code changes and refresh browser
3. Once feature is finished or bug fixed, use [jshint](http://jshint.com/) to lint code
4. Fix lint issues then use [Google Closure Compiler](https://closure-compiler.appspot.com/home) to minify
5. 🍻
