Usage

HTML

Give the element you want to parallax a cool name in order to call it in JavaScript.

🏞 <img>

<img class="ukiyo" src="image.jpg">

🏞 <picture>

<picture>
  <source srcset="~">
  <img class="ukiyo" src="image.jpg">
<picture>

picture tag element is also supported: set the parallax to the img tag inside the picture tag.

📺 <video>

<video class="ukiyo" src="~" type="~">

🖼️ Using background-image

<div class="ukiyo"></div>

Don't forget the styling of background-image on element.

JavaScript

To instantiate Ukiyo, the first argument should specify the element to be parallaxed.

// CSS selector
new Ukiyo(".ukiyo")

// or node
const images = document.querySelectorAll(".ukiyo")
new Ukiyo(images)

// or HTMLCollection
const images = document.getElementsByClassName('ukiyo');
new simpleParallax(images);

You are now ready to go.

Options

Option	Type	Default	Description
scale	number	1.5	Parallax image scaling factor.
speed	number	1.5	Parallax speed.
willChange	boolean	false	If true, the element will be given a will-change: transform when Parallax is active.
wrapperClass	string	null	Class name of the automatically generated wrapper element.
externalRAF	boolean	false	Use external requestAnimationFrame

These configurations can be made with the following JavaScript code:

const parallax = document.querySelector('.image')

new Ukiyo(parallax, {
    scale: 1.5, // 1~2 is recommended
    speed: 1.5, // 1~2 is recommended
    willChange: true, // This may not be valid in all cases
    wrapperClass: "ukiyo-wrapper",
    externalRAF: false
})

Element Options

These options can be individually set for an element using the data-u-* attribute, as shown in the following example:

<img
  data-u-scale="2"
  data-u-speed="1.7"
  data-u-wrapper-class="wrapper-name"
  data-u-willchange
>

Attribute	Values	Description
data-u-scale	number	scale option.
data-u-speed	number	speed option.
data-u-willchange		willChange option. Simply attach it to the element to make it valid.
data-u-wrapper-class	string	wrapperClass option.

Option names start with data-u-*. Don't forget to prefix the option name with a "u", if u do.

Using external requestAnimationFrame

By default, parallax animations are automatically depicted in a requestAnimationFrame, but animations can also be called in an external requestAnimationFrame.

const parallax = new Ukiyo(".ukiyo", {
  externalRAF: true
})

function raf(time) {
  // animate parallax
  parallax.animate()

  requestAnimationFrame(raf)
}

requestAnimationFrame(raf)

To enable the externalRAF option, call the animation with the animate() method in the requestAnimationFrame process.

Methods

reset()

To reset the instance and recalculate the size and position of the elements, you can use the following code:

const instance = new Ukiyo(".image")

instance.reset()

destroy()

Destroy instance:

const instance = new Ukiyo(".image")

instance.destroy()
