Dependencies

• styled-components
• layout-styled-components
• react-animations
• react-intersection-observer

Usage

yarn add react-genie

Just render the RevealGlobalStyles component anywhere, so it will add the class names for the animations:

import {RevealGlobalStyles} from 'react-genie'

const App = () => {
  return (
    <div>
      <RevealGlobalStyles />
      <div> rest of the app </div>
    </div>
  );
};

Default animation:

import {Reveal} from 'react-genie';

<Reveal>
  <h1>The default animation is fade in</h1>
</Reveal>

Props:

{
  animation?: string; // animation class name
  delay?: number; // animation delay
  mode?: RevealMode; // "clone" or "wrap"
  debugName?: string; // if you specify it, you will get console logs
  style?: CSSObject; // extra styles
  onShowDone?: () => void; // callback after show
}

Specifying animation using the animation prop:

import {Reveal, Animation} from 'react-genie';

<Reveal animation={Animation.SlideInLeft}>
  <h1>This title will slide in from the left</h1>
</Reveal>

Hint: you can also pass your own class name here if you have custom animations.

Wrap vs Clone

The default mode is wrap, so the children element will be wrapped in an additional div. If you don't want that additional div, you can use clone or RevealMode.Clone.

import {Reveal, RevealMode} from 'react-genie';

<Reveal mode={RevealMode.Clone}>
  <h1>This h1 will be cloned instead of wrapped</h1>
</Reveal>

In order for clone to work your element needs to accept className, style, and ref, as props. So, if you're trying to clone custom components, make sure they support these props.

The AnimatedTitle component

import {Reveal, AnimatedTitle} from 'react-genie';

<AnimatedTitle>
  This sentence will animate in word by word
</AnimatedTitle>

The AnimatedTitle component will split the children prop word by word (so it should be a string), and animate each word with a delay in between.
