Scroll Driven Patterns

Ce contenu n’est pas encore disponible dans votre langue.

These patterns use the CSS scroll-driven API available from june 2023 in Chrome to create effects that are triggered by the user scrolling the page using only CSS.

Progress

The Progress element is a simple progress bar that fills as the user scrolls down the page. It is useful for showing the user how far they have scrolled through a page.

an animation shows a horizontal bar growing from left to right as the page scrolls down.

It renders the following html on front-end:

rendered html
<div id="progress"></div>

The dummy text which is inserted is there only for the purpose of having a long enough page to scroll and can be safely deleted.

The element has custom CSS which can be tweaked to style it.

custom CSS
html {
scroll-timeline: --page-scroll block;
}
@keyframes scroll-progress {
0% {
transform: scaleX(0);
}
100% {
transform: scaleX(1);
}
}
%root% {
position: fixed;
left: 0;
top: 0;
width: 100%;
height: 5px;
min-height: initial;
background: var(--_sez-accent-color);
z-index: 100000;
transform-origin: 0 50%;
animation: scroll-progress auto linear;
animation-timeline: --page-scroll;
}

To customize the element while keeping fuctionnality, I recommend changing only the following properties:

  • height
  • background
  • z-index

And if necessary to change its position:

  • left
  • top
  • width

A central column scrolls with the page, while the left and right columns scroll in the opposite direction. This creates a parallax effect that can be used to display images or other content.

It renders the following html on front-end:

rendered html
<section class="sez-section">
<div class="sez-section__body sez-section__body--fancy-gallery">
<div
class="sez-section__column sez-section__column--fancy-gallery sez-section__column--reverse"
>
<img
class="sez-image--fancy-gallery"
src="//picsum.photos/seed/structeezy-kxlppt/640"
alt=""
/>
<!-- 10 random images -->
</div>
<div class="sez-section__column sez-section__column--fancy-gallery">
<img
class="sez-image--fancy-gallery"
src="//picsum.photos/seed/structeezy-kvbopc/640"
alt=""
/>
<!-- 10 random images -->
</div>
<div
class="sez-section__column sez-section__column--fancy-gallery sez-section__column--reverse"
>
<img
class="sez-image--fancy-gallery"
src="//picsum.photos/seed/structeezy-kmncsq/640"
alt=""
/>
<!-- 10 random images -->
</div>
</div>
</section>

The functionality comes from the following class:

custom CSS
.sez-section__column--reverse {
transform: translateY(calc(-100% + 100vh));
flex-direction: column-reverse;
animation: adjust-position linear forwards;
animation-timeline: scroll(root block);
}
@keyframes adjust-position {
from {
transform: translateY(calc(-100% + 100vh));
}
to {
transform: translateY(calc(100% - 100vh));
}
}

Hero2header

A full screen hero section that transitions into a header as the user scrolls down the page.

a full screen hero section with a big centered heading shrinks to a top header as the page is scrolled down
Demo of the Hero2header structure

It renders the following html on front-end:

rendered html
<header id="hero-to-header">
<h1>I am a h1 heading</h1>
</header>

The dummy text which is inserted is there only for the purpose of having a long enough page to scroll and can be safely deleted.

The element has custom CSS which can be tweaked to style it.

custom CSS
html {
scroll-timeline: --page-scroll block;
}
body{
padding-block-start: 100vb;
}
@keyframes hero-to-header-move-and-size {
from {
background-position: 50% 0;
block-size: 100vb;
font-size: calc(10vi + 1em);
}
to {
background-position: 50% 100%;
background-color: var(--_sez-accent-color);
block-size: 10vb;
font-size: 2em;
}
}
%root% {
color: white;
block-size: 100vb;
inline-size: 100%;
background-image: url(https://picsum.photos/seed/structeezy-He4f7S/1920/1080);
background-size: cover;
background-position: 50% 50%;
background-blend-mode: soft-light;
display: grid;
place-items: center;
text-align: center;
}
@supports (animation-range: 0vh 90vh){
%root% {
position: fixed;
inset-block-start: 0;
animation: hero-to-header-move-and-size linear forwards;
animation-range: 0vb 90vb;
animation-timeline: --page-scroll;
}
}

To customize the element while keeping fuctionnality, I recommend changing only the following properties:

  • color: the default text color in the element.
  • background-image: the image used as background. You can also use a gradient.
  • background-blend-mode: the blend mode used for the background image and the overlay color defined in the animation.

And in the animation @keyframes:

  • font-size from and to: font sizes. You will need to adjust to match your design.
  • background-color to: defines the overlay color when the hero shrinks to a header
  • block-size to: the size of the header when shrinked.

ImageReveal

This structure includes images with a custom CSS class that reveals images with a growing circle mask effect when entering the viewport as the page scrolls down.

an animation shows images fading in with a growing circle mask effect when entering the viewport as the page scrolls down.
Demo of the ImageReveal structure

It renders the following html on front-end:

rendered html
<img
class="sez-reveal-image"
src="//picsum.photos/seed/structeezy-qdimzn/640/480"
alt=""
/>

The dummy text which is also inserted is there only for the purpose of having a long enough page to scroll and can be safely deleted.

The element includes a custom CSS class sez-reveal-image which can be tweaked to style it.

custom CSS
%root% {
view-timeline-name: --revealing-image;
view-timeline-axis: block;
animation: linear sez-reveal-image both;
animation-timeline: --revealing-image;
animation-range: entry 25% cover 50%;
}
@keyframes sez-reveal-image {
from {
opacity: 0;
clip-path: circle(10%);
}
to {
opacity: 1;
clip-path: circle(100%);
}
}

To customize the element while keeping fuctionnality, I recommend changing only the following properties:

  • animation-range: defines the start and end of the animation

And of course, you can change the animation itself by modifying the @keyframesrule or choosing your own one.
