useInViewRef

About

Simple hook that monitors element enters or leave the viewport that's using Intersection Observer API.

It returns a ref to observed element, as well as boolean flag - inView that will tell if the element is inside of the viewport / parent element or not. You can also pass a callback that will be fired everytime the Observer will be triggered. To understand the Intersection Observer API better, please check its documentation on MDN.

Examples

Basic example

import "./styles.css";
import { useInViewRef } from "rooks";
 
export default function App() {
  const [myRef, inView] = useInViewRef();
  return (
    <>
      <div
        style={{
          position: "fixed",
          top: 0,
          left: 0,
        }}
      >
        <h1>Is rectangle visible - {String(inView)}</h1>
      </div>
      <div style={{ height: 2000 }}></div>
      <div ref={myRef} style={{ height: 300, background: "red" }}></div>
      <div style={{ height: 2000 }}></div>
    </>
  );
