🚀 Quick Start

Installation

The library is available in the monorepo at @scroll-trigger.

Basic Usage

import {
  EnhancedScrollTriggerDirective,
  ScrollTriggerPreviewComponent
} from 'libs/scroll-trigger/src';

@Component({
  imports: [EnhancedScrollTriggerDirective, ScrollTriggerPreviewComponent]
})

<!-- Basic scroll trigger -->
<div enhancedScrollTrigger="my-trigger"
     start="top bottom"
     end="80%"
     animationPreset="fade-in">
  Content appears on scroll
</div>

<!-- Advanced scrubbing -->
<div enhancedScrollTrigger="scrub-demo"
     start="center center"
     end="60%"
     [scrub]="true"
     animationPreset="morph">
  Animation tied to scroll progress
</div>

<!-- Pinning with markers -->
<div enhancedScrollTrigger="pin-demo"
     start="top center"
     end="100%"
     [pin]="true"
     [markers]="true"
     animationPreset="vortex">
  Element pinned during scroll range
</div>

🎯 Core Concepts

Smart Trigger System

Start Triggers: Absolute positions for precise control

• "top bottom" - Element top hits viewport bottom
• "center center" - Element center aligns with viewport center
• "bottom top" - Element bottom hits viewport top

End Triggers: Percentage-based for consistent behavior

• "80%" - 80% through the viewport
• "60%" - 60% through the viewport
• "100%" - Complete viewport traversal

Animation Integration

Perfect integration with your existing flash-animations:

<!-- Use any flash-animation preset -->
<div enhancedScrollTrigger="hero"
     animationPreset="explode"    <!-- Flash-animations preset -->
     start="top bottom"
     end="80%"
     [scrub]="false">
</div>

Visual Debugging

Enable debug mode to see trigger lines:

<lib-scroll-trigger-preview [debugMode]="true">
  <!-- Your scroll-triggered content -->
</lib-scroll-trigger-preview>

🎬 Animation Chaining

Build complex animation sequences with the timeline builder:

<lib-animation-timeline-builder
  [visible]="true"
  (chainCreated)="onChainCreated($event)"
  (stepAdded)="onStepAdded($event)">
</lib-animation-timeline-builder>

Timeline Features:

• 🎯 Visual step sequencing
• ⚡ Parallel execution support
• 🕐 Custom timing controls
• 🎨 Easing curve selection
• 📊 Real-time progress tracking

📊 Performance Features

GPU Acceleration

• All animations use transform and opacity
• Optimized RequestAnimationFrame loops
• Intelligent viewport calculations
• Memory management and cleanup

Responsive Optimization

• Automatic scaling for mobile devices
• Intelligent distance calculations
• Performance-based animation reduction
• Battery-aware optimizations

🎨 Integration Examples

With Flash-Animations

<!-- Combine both systems -->
<div flashAnim="fade-in"                    <!-- Basic entrance -->
     enhancedScrollTrigger="advanced"       <!-- Advanced scroll control -->
     start="top bottom"
     end="80%"
     [scrub]="true">
  Hybrid animation system
</div>

With Animation Chains

// Create complex sequences
const chain = animationChainService.createChain({
  name: 'Hero Sequence',
  steps: [
    {
      trigger: { start: 'top bottom', end: '60%' },
      animation: { preset: 'explode', duration: 800 }
    },
    {
      trigger: { start: 'center center', end: '40%' },
      animation: { preset: 'vortex', duration: 600 },
      parallel: true
    }
  ]
});

await animationChainService.startChain(chain.id);

🔧 Configuration Examples

     animationPreset="slide-up">

<!-- Desktop dramatic effect -->
<div enhancedScrollTrigger="desktop-hero"
     start="center center"
     end="60%"              <!-- 60% for desktop impact -->
     animationPreset="explode"
     [scrub]="0.1">         <!-- Smooth scrubbing -->

Advanced Scrubbing & Pinning

<!-- Perfect scrubbing -->
<div enhancedScrollTrigger="scrub-demo"
     start="top bottom"
     end="100%"
     [scrub]="0.05"         <!-- Ultra-smooth -->
     [scrubSmooth]="0.1"    <!-- Additional smoothing -->
     animationPreset="morph">

<!-- Pinning with anticipation -->
<div enhancedScrollTrigger="pin-demo"
     start="top center"
     end="80%"
     [pin]="true"
     [anticipatePin]="50"   <!-- 50px anticipation -->
