# svelte-intersection-observer

[![NPM][npm]][npm-url]

> Detect if an element is in the viewport using the [Intersection Observer API](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Intersection_Observer_API).

Try it in the [Svelte REPL](https://svelte.dev/repl/8cd2327a580c4f429c71f7df999bd51d).

## Installation

```sh
# NPM
npm i svelte-intersection-observer

# pnpm
pnpm i svelte-intersection-observer

# Bun
bun i svelte-intersection-observer

# Yarn
yarn add svelte-intersection-observer

```

## Usage

### Basic

Use the [`bind:this`](https://svelte.dev/docs#bind_element) directive to pass an element reference to the `IntersectionObserver` component.

Then, simply bind to the reactive `intersecting` prop to determine if the element intersects the viewport.

```svelte

import IntersectionObserver from "svelte-intersection-observer";

let element;
let intersecting;

{intersecting ? "Element is in view" : "Element is not in view"}

Hello world

```

### Once

Set `once` to `true` for the intersection event to occur only once. The `element` will be unobserved after the first intersection event occurs.

```svelte

import IntersectionObserver from "svelte-intersection-observer";

let elementOnce;
let intersectOnce;

{intersectOnce ? "Element is in view" : "Element is not in view"}

Hello world

```

### `let:intersecting`

An alternative to binding to the `intersecting` prop is to use the `let:` directive.

In the following example, the "Hello world" element will fade in when its containing element intersects the viewport.

```svelte

import IntersectionObserver from "svelte-intersection-observer";
import { fade } from "svelte/transition";

let node;


{#if intersecting}
Hello world

{/if}

```

### `on:observe` event

The `observe` event is dispatched when the element is first observed and also whenever an intersection event occurs.

```svelte no-eval
{
console.log(e.detail); // IntersectionObserverEntry
console.log(e.detail.isIntersecting); // true | false
}}
>

Hello world

```

### `on:intersect` event

As an alternative to binding the `intersecting` prop, you can listen to the `intersect` event that is dispatched if the observed element is intersecting the viewport.

**Note**: Compared to `on:observe`, `on:intersect` is dispatched only when the element is _intersecting the viewport_. In other words, `e.detail.isIntersecting` will only be `true`.

```svelte no-eval
{
console.log(e.detail); // IntersectionObserverEntry
console.log(e.detail.isIntersecting); // true
}}
>

Hello world

```

## API

### Props

| Name | Description | Type | Default value |
| :----------- | :---------------------------------------------------------- | :-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | :------------ |
| element | Observed element | `HTMLElement` | `null` |
| once | Unobserve the element after the first intersection event | `boolean` | `false` |
| intersecting | `true` if the observed element is intersecting the viewport | `boolean` | `false` |
| root | Containing element | `null` or `HTMLElement` | `null` |
| rootMargin | Margin offset of the containing element | `string` | `"0px"` |
| threshold | Percentage of element visibile to trigger an event | `number` between 0 and 1, or an array of `number`s between 0 and 1 | `0` |
| entry | Observed element metadata | [`IntersectionObserverEntry`](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/IntersectionObserverEntry) | `null` |
| observer | `IntersectionObserver` instance | [`IntersectionObserver`](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/IntersectionObserver) | `null` |

### Dispatched events

- **on:observe**: fired when the element is first observed or whenever an intersection change occurs
- **on:intersect**: fired when the element is intersecting the viewport

The `e.detail` dispatched by the `observe` and `intersect` events is an [`IntersectionObserverEntry`](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/IntersectionObserverEntry) interface.

Note that all properties in `IntersectionObserverEntry` are read-only.

IntersectionObserverEntry

```ts
interface IntersectionObserverEntry {
target: HTMLElement;
time: number;
isIntersecting: boolean;
isVisible: boolean;
intersectionRatio: number;
intersectionRect: {
bottom: number;
height: number;
left: number;
right: number;
top: number;
width: number;
x: number;
y: number;
};
rootBounds: {
bottom: number;
height: number;
left: number;
right: number;
top: number;
width: number;
x: number;
y: number;
};
boundingClientRect: {
bottom: number;
height: number;
left: number;
right: number;
top: number;
width: number;
x: number;
y: number;
};
}
```
