react

Observes visibility changes for a given element.

  • Use the useState() hook to store the intersection value of the given element.
  • Create an IntersectionObserver with the given options and an appropriate callback to update the isIntersecting state variable.
  • Use the useEffect() hook to call IntersectionObserver.observe() when mounting the component and clean up using IntersectionObserver.unobserve() when unmounting.
const useIntersectionObserver = (ref, options) => {
  const [isIntersecting, setIsIntersecting] = React.useState(false);
 
  React.useEffect(() => {
    const observer = new IntersectionObserver(([entry]) => {
      setIsIntersecting(entry.isIntersecting);
    }, options);
 
    if (ref.current) {
      observer.observe(ref.current);
    }
 
    return () => {
      observer.unobserve(ref.current);
    };
  }, []);
 
  return isIntersecting;
};
const MyApp = () => {
  const ref = React.useRef();
  const onScreen = useIntersectionObserver(ref, { threshold: 0.5 });
 
  return (
    <div>
      <div style={{ height: '100vh' }}>Scroll down</div>
      <div style={{ height: '100vh' }} ref={ref}>
        <p>{onScreen ? 'Element is on screen.' : 'Scroll more!'}</p>
      </div>
    </div>
  );
};
 
ReactDOM.createRoot(document.getElementById('root')).render(
  <MyApp />
);
