height: 100%;

/* BG behaviour */
background-position: center;
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-size: cover;
}
:zap: BG behaviour in seperate class gives more flexibility controlling them :zap: SASS version available in /dist folder
If <section> is your container, make the parallax element inside it
<section>
<div class="parallax" data-parallax-image="path/to/your_image">
</section>
:zap: You can also use background-image to define your image instead of using data-parallax-image=""
Include the script to your project
<script src="node_modules/universal-parallax/dist/universal-parallax.min.js"></script>
Initialize the JS function
<script>
new universalParallax().init();
</script>
That's it! :checkered_flag:
You can change the parallax speed; the higher the number, the slower the parallax effect
new universalParallax().init({
speed: 6.0
});
:zap: speed: 1 is the minimum value before the background image is fixed
If you want your backround color to shine through or dampen the image without making it a .png - just add transparency to it
.parallax {
opacity: 0.5;
}
