Detect Something Changes In The Viewport – Tornis

Description:

Tornis is a dependency-free JavaScript library to track the state of the viewport when you interact with the page.

Viewport states to track:

  • Mouse position
  • Mouse cursor velocity
  • Viewport size
  • Scroll position
  • Scroll velocity

How to use it:

Installation.

# NPM
$ npm install tornis --save

Import the Tornis API functions.

import { 
  watchViewport, 
  unwatchViewport, 
  getViewportState
} from 'tornis';

Or directly include the tornis.js library from the dist folder.

<script src="/dist/tornis.js"></script>

Get the current viewport state using the getViewportState() function. This will return a state object like so:

{
  scroll: {
    changed: Boolean,
    left: Integer,
    right: Integer,
    top: Integer,
    bottom: Integer,
    velocity: {
      x: Integer,
      y: Integer
    }
  },
  size: {
    changed: Boolean
    x: Integer,
    y: Integer,
    docY: Integer
  },
  mouse: {
    changed: Boolean,
    x: Integer
    y: Integer
    velocity: {
      x: Integer
      y: Integer
    }
  }
}

Track the state change in the viewport.

// define a watched function, to be run on each update
const updateValues = ({ size, scroll, mouse, orientation }) => {
  if (size.changed) {
    // do something related to size
  }
  
  if (scroll.changed) {
    // do something related to scroll position or velocity
  }
  if (mouse.changed) {
    // do something related to mouse position or velocity
  }
};
// bind the watch function
// By default this will run the function as it is added to the watch list
watchViewport(updateValues);
// to bind the watch function without calling it
watchViewport(updateValues, false);
// when you want to stop updating
unwatchViewport(updateValues);
// to get a snapshot of the current viewport state
const state = getViewportState();
