Very well explained. Thank you for your effort and your pedagogy. I particularly liked the smooth transition you made between using the intersection observer API and the react-intersection-observer package.
Very clear, as with all of your videos, thanks. I don't have a favourite use for Intersection Observer, but had been trying to apply it to infinite scrolling. Your video helped me to make the final step. Using a hidden tag, such as a span, placed at the end of an array.map output, when the user scrolls down and reaches the span, inView becomes true and triggers a call to the database to retrieve additional array elements which are then displayed on the page.
This was great. Thanks for doing it the manual way first, sometimes we have restrictions on using third party packages so it's great to know how it works under the hood.
wow!!! It was really smooth. Was looking for a solution like this for almost a day. You explained it in a perfect way. Thanks for providing so much value
Thanks for the video mate! Been struggling with this for a while now but this has helped me out a lot. Your explanation's really simple and easy to follow.
I knew this NPM today, really coool~ it's good tut that you write the code first and then tried to use the NPM package to implement the same functionality.🚀🚀
thanks! never thought about that perspective, but generally i like to give context around things to not make an assumption people know certain things :D
@@colbyfayock yeah man super appreciated. I feel like part of it is the fact that you explain even the "basic" stuff along the way. I.E., verbally saying "destructuring this import" while typing import { somethingCool } from 'superCool'
Thank you for taking the time to explain this functionality. and triggering concept. It really helps me to understand how to approach certain scrolling use cases in React.🙂👏
Thanks alot, i tried getting the window.scrollY to work with React and it is not as simple as the vanilla JS version. Your explanation was easy to follow, subscribed 👍
Thank you so much. Always wanted to know how to use intersection observer in react and how such animations worked in react without reaching for a library like framer motion.
I am using Next.js 14.2, I want to use the scroll-based animation, the animation-timeline works but it's experimental and the safari browser doesn't support it. And making use of hooks will make my entire section client-component. Which also I don't want, Can someone please help me with this? 😭😭😭😭
you can tell the observer to disconenct or unobserve after it triggers. i would think inside of the callback you can fire that, you just need to store the reference of the original observer to trigger that on. im not sure what the difference is between disconnect and unobserve, but they should work: developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/IntersectionObserver/unobserve
@@clay9600 you should be able to specify that you want the animation to only run once instead of forever developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/animation developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/animation-iteration-count
Hey I am little confused on how to use react-intersection-observer on a list of elements, without doing this "const { ref: ref1, inView: seeRef1} = useInView({triggerOnce: true});" 10 times. I have a container with a list of cards, how can I use react-observer on each card in a optimal way?
hey not totally sure about the package, i know the browser API allows you to pass in a selector which works a bit differently. could try adding it to a parent and parsing the response? not sure if that would be exactly what you need though
Hey there may be a better way but you could create a state instsnce that will function similarly to the inview value. Update that state on click. Set the class name on click
How do we use this if we want to apply the ref to all the element of the list ? the use case is if a particular element user is watching for more the 2 seconds I need to perform some operation.
Is there any particular reason why when following this tutorial my image is constantly swtiching between a true false value even though i'm sitting stationary above the element in the view port? is it because im running my react application in a dev environment?
I moved the ref to the container element. I guess directly setting the ref on my image element was breaking the functionality. it's working correctly now. Had to rewatch the video one more time to catch the difference. Thanks for the walk through!
Thank you for this! It's exactly what I've been looking for! One question on the css, why do you type styles. Before tha actual class you're using? Im a front end student and have not seen that before and would love to understand it
I'm just getting into UI animations, thanks for the tutorial. I noticed that the current Apple product pages are staying away from animations. Maybe that got bad feedback, too annoying? Dosing them the right way is part of my learning UI animations.
I have this problem where If I scroll to where the div is partly visible, the element just keeps flickering. This is probably due the state of isIntersecting switching between false and true at that point of the scroll. Is there a way I can solve this when i've only scrolled to where the div is partly visible?
can you clarify the intent? are you hoping that more of the element needs to be visible before it triggers? or another way to solve, so that it only triggers once and remains visible or whatever the updated state is?
@@colbyfayock to clarify the element is supposed to slide up when scrolled to. The problem is that it flickers when I scroll to a certain point where its just right before the div. I just want the animation to run just once and not flicker when scrolled to that point.
So I think that the area I'm scrolling to is at that breaking point where isIntersecting keeps switching between false and true repeatedly. Because of this, my slide up animation just keeps running and that's what causes the flickering.
@@OneDreamOfWhop you can use `disconnect` on the observer as soon as it triggers to prevent it frmo triggering again developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/IntersectionObserver/disconnect

Man I can't thank you much, i have been stuck with the using intersection observer for weeks. That's a blessing man, Love you!
glad to hear it helped!! 🙌
If i knew about this hook before it could have saved me so much heartache thank you for explaining this in a concise way.
no problem! glad you were able to eventually find it :)
This was great.
Thanks for doing it the manual way first, sometimes we have restrictions on using third party packages so it's great to know how it works under the hood.
thanks, no problem, definitely great to see both ways to have the option
thanks for this video mate helps many people who had no idea about such observer hope your channel grows good .
Thanks. 😁
