ViewabilityHelper

Lightweight cross-browser library that enables you to create a watcher for a given element, and get back a callback when it has entered the viewport

It uses Intersection Observer API if available, and if not, it calculates it by itself.

Browser support for the Intersection Observer API can be found here.

Not working when Intersection Observer is not supported and the script is running inside an iframe.

Written in ES6 and compiled to ES5 using Babel.

Install

npm install --save viewability-helper

Usage

// import the module
import ViewabilityHelper from 'viewability-helper';

// Fire in the hole!
myObserver.observe();

// With options
