Usage

import React from 'react';
import { Parallax, Background } from 'react-parallax';

const MyComponent = () => (
    <div>
        {/* -----basic config-----*/}
        <Parallax
            blur={10}
            bgImage={require('path/to/image.jpg')}
            bgImageAlt="the cat"
            strength={200}
        >
            Put some text content here - even an empty div with fixed dimensions to have a height
            for the parallax.
            <div style={{ height: '200px' }} />
        </Parallax>

        {/* -----dynamic blur-----*/}
        <Parallax
            blur={{ min: -15, max: 15 }}
            bgImage={require('path/to/another/image.jpg')}
            bgImageAlt="the dog"
            strength={-200}
        >
            Blur transition from min to max
            <div style={{ height: '200px' }} />
        </Parallax>

        {/* -----custom background element-----*/}
        <Parallax strength={300}>
            <div>Use the background component for custom elements</div>
            <Background className="custom-bg">
                <img src="http://www.fillmurray.com/500/320" alt="fill murray" />
            </Background>
        </Parallax>

        {/* -----renderProp: "renderLayer"-----*/}
        <Parallax
            bgImage={'/path/to/another/image'}
            strength={400}
            renderLayer={percentage => (
                <div
                    style={{
                        position: 'absolute',
                        background: `rgba(255, 125, 0, ${percentage * 1})`,
                        left: '50%',
                        top: '50%',
                        width: percentage * 500,
                        height: percentage * 500,
                    }}
                />
            )}
        >
            <p>... Content</p>
        </Parallax>
    </div>
);
export default MyComponent;

Background Component

For more flexibility and styling purposes you can add a <Background></Background> section to your Parallax Container. Child nodes inside this Background will be positioned like the bgImage behind the other children. Compared to the bgImage there is no automatic scaling (see above).

Props

bgImage

path to the background image that makes parallax effect visible - (type: String)

bgImageAlt

alt text for bgImage - (type: String)

bgImageSizes

img sizes attribute

bgImageSrcSet

img srcset attribute

style

style object for the component itself - (type: Object)

bgStyle

additional style object for the bg image/children - (type: Object) Valid style attributes

bgClassName

custom classname for image - (type: String)

contentClassName

bgImageStyle

set background image styling - (type: Object), eg. {height: '50px', maxWidth: '75px', opacity: '.5'}

strength

parallax effect strength (in pixel), default 100. this will define the amount of pixels the background image is translated - (type: Number)

blur

• pixel value for background image blur, default: 0 - (type: Number)
• or object in format {min:0, max:5} for dynamic blur depending on scroll position

renderLayer:

Function that gets a percentage value of the current position as parameter for custom calculationa. It renders a layer above the actual background, below children. Implement like renderLayer={percentage => (<div style={{ background:｀rgba(255, 125, 0, ${percentage * 1})｀}}/> )} - (type: Function)

disabled

turns off parallax effect if set to true, default: false - (type: Boolean)

className
