Scrollspy

Trigger events and animations while scrolling your page.

Table of contents

Usage

The Scrollspy component listens to page scrolling and triggers events based on the scroll position. For example, if you scroll down a page, and an element appears in the viewport for the first time, you can trigger a smooth animation to fade in the element. Just add the data-uk-scrollspy attribute which takes the following options.

Typically, classes from the Animation component are used together with the Scrollspy component.

This example uses the repeat: true option. Scroll up and down to see the triggered animations. The layout is made with the Card component.

Groups

You can also group scrollspy elements, so you won’t have to apply the attribute to each of them. Just add the data-uk-scrollspy="target: SELECTOR" attribute to a container element, targeting the selector of the items you want to animate inside the container. When using a delay, it will be applied cumulatively to the items that scroll into view.

Set cls option per target

You can also give each target a separate cls option. Just add the data-uk-scrollspy-class="CLASS" attribute to a target element. It will override the cls option set on the component.

Component options

Any of these options can be applied to the component attribute. Separate multiple options with a semicolon. Learn more

For an example of the scrollspy nav, just check out the fixed nav on the right side of this page or take a look at the test. Any of the following options can be applied to the data-uk-scrollspy-nav attribute. Separate multiple options with a semicolon.
