JavaScript - Intersection Observer

11 Apr 25

Implemented Intersection Observer API on MSP homepage
Had already implemented to delay Instagram loading (and also on MSP static), but this time for aesthetics.
No libraries to import (it seems to be a core part of JavaScript)
Fairly straightforward flow:
  • identify relevant sections with a class
  • instruct each section to be observed by an observer
  • create the observer (a required callback and some other options to control things like threshold to determine how much of the section needs to appear to trigger the callback)
  • some css classes to provide animation (if the callback is toggling classes).
