6 React Scroll Effects

Collections of React Scroll Effects demos show how to create dynamic, “live” web pages where content reacts to scrolling. Key technical features: using the useState and useEffect hooks to track the scroll position (window.scrollY), and applying requestAnimationFrame to optimize rendering and prevent “lags.” Many examples demonstrate how to control animations (for instance, with Framer Motion or GSAP) based on scroll progress, creating parallax effects or element reveals.

FizzBuzz Photo Gallery

An interactive horizontal timeline featuring drag-to-scroll navigation with synchronized multi-layer parallax effects for images, background, and labels, built with React and TypeScript.

React Infinite Scrolling with IntersectionObserver

An infinite scroll gallery built with React, fetching images from the Unsplash API. It leverages the native Intersection Observer API via a useCallback ref to detect when the user reaches the bottom of the grid, automatically triggering the next page fetch and state update for a seamless browsing experience.

React Inertia Section Scroller

This example implements responsive inertia scrolling that smoothly flips through sections. GSAP and React create a spectacular transition between full-screen blocks, while interactivity is provided by handling mouse wheel and touch events.

Simple Horizontal Scroll with GSAP in ReactJS

This demo shows how to use GSAP ScrollTrigger to create full-screen horizontal scrolling by pinning the container (pin: true) and synchronizing xPercent with the vertical scroll.

Image Grid Scroll Up with Framer Motion

A demonstration of advanced animation in React, where the useScroll and useTransform hooks from Framer Motion are used to implement dynamic scrolling with changes in image scale, position, and offset.

Parallax Scroll with Framer Motion

Using Framer Motion hooks (useScroll, useSpring, useTransform), the demo smoothly animates SVG graphics.
