🕹️ Usage

HTML

Give the elements cool names like ukiyo to call them in scripts for parallax effects.

• 🏞 <img>

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

• 🌅 <picture>

<picture>
  <source srcset="~">
  <!-- give a name to img element inside picture element. -->
  <img class="ukiyo" src="image.jpg">
<picture>

• 🎬 <video>

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

• 🖼️ CSS background-image

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

---

JavaScript

Instantiate Ukiyo with the cool name you gave to the element as the first argument. The element selection supports the following types:

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

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

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

There you go, all set! Now let's see it in action.

⚙️ Options

Instance Options

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

new Ukiyo(parallax, {
    scale: 1.5, // 1~2 is recommended
    speed: 1.5, // 1~2 is recommended
    willChange: true,
    wrapperClass: "ukiyo-wrapper",
    externalRAF: false
})

Option	Type	Default	Description
scale	number	1.5	Parallax image scaling factor.
speed	number	1.5	Parallax speed.
willChange	boolean	false	When true is specified, the elements will receive will-change: transform when Parallax is active.
wrapperClass	string	null	Set any class name to the automatically generated wrapper element.
externalRAF	boolean	false	Set it to true if you want to use an external requestAnimationFrame.

Element attributes

Additionally, you can individually set these options for elements using the data-u-* attribute, like this:

<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. Just add this to the element to enable it.
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 animation is automatically rendered using the library's requestAnimationFrame, but you can use an external requestAnimationFrame to run the animation.

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

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

  requestAnimationFrame(raf)
}

requestAnimationFrame(raf)

Enable the externalRAF option, and then call the animate() method within your custom requestAnimationFrame to trigger the parallax animation.

🔧 Methods

• reset()

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

const instance = new Ukiyo(".image")

instance.reset()

• destroy()

Destroy instance:

const instance = new Ukiyo(".image")

instance.destroy()

📍Notes

🚧 When using Lenis in combination

• As of July 2023, we have identified a bug in Safari when using it in conjunction with Lenis, which causes parallax effects to become distorted during scrolling. This issue is due to a bug in Safari itself. To address this bug, you may need to apply styles like pointer-events: none; to the parallax elements, preventing scroll events from affecting them. However, please be cautious as this may disable interaction events for those elements.
