Getting started
Download
Via npm:
$ npm install murphyjs
Via file include:
Download file here and link in your HTML.
Usage
Just do three steps:
⛳ Tag your HTML
In your markup, decore your element with attribute data-murphy
.
Any content here
The default effect of murphy is bottom-to-top
, but it's possible use top-to-bottom
, left-to-right
and right-to-left
too.
🔌 Reset your CSS
In your CSS, reset all the tagged elements.
🚀 Start murphy
In Javascript side, just import and run play
when your page is completely loaded to start monitoring decorated elements.
Import
;
And trigger
murphy
Or call from window
If you added murphy via file include, just access murphy's functions in window:
windowmurphy// or justmurphy
That is enough to work! 🤟🏿
Examples
data-attributes
:
1. This Bottom to topTop to bottomLeft to rightRight to left
Will result in that:
2. To do the same effect that murphy's logo, use:
murphy.js
Result:
🚨 Important
These animations are triggered when scrolling the page, but when the tagged elements are already within the bounds of the screen, everything works like appearance animations that React Transition Group already does. So if you need animations on the first load of site, murphy is for you!
