Scroll animations are one of my favorite style features to add to a website. They are a feature that, while relatively simple to add, can make your website feel much more slick and interactive. In this blog post, I am going to walk through adding scroll animations to a React application using the AOS library.

AOS is an open source animate-on-scroll library made by Michał Sajnóg. It was created to optimize performance by using all CSS for the animations themselves, and reserving JavaScript to handle the logic. It was made to be easy-to-use by providing HTML data attributes which you can add to any HTML element or React component, and is highly customizable. You can learn more by checking out the website, GitHub, and CodePen demos.

The first step is to install AOS in you app using your preferred package manager. For the purposes of this post, we will be using npm. To do so, run the following command:

Next, we need to import aos in our root file (likely App.js). This will require two imports, one for the CSS and one for the JavaScript:

Now, we just need to initialize AOS. To do so, we can simply run AOS.init() inside of our root component. However, you can also pass the .init() function an optional settings object to customize the functionality to your liking. This settings object is described in the documentation, but for our purposes the default settings work just fine!

Now we are ready to animate any pice of a component we want to! To do so, set your desired animation using the data-aos attribute like so:

The library comes with a bunch of default animations, such as fade, flip-up, slide-down, zoom-in, etc. A full list of animations can be found here.

You can adjust the behavior of the animation by adding more data-aos attributes. Here are some examples:

Offset changes the distance (in pixels) from the original animation trigger point. This will essentially wait to trigger the animation until you scroll past the desired offset point. The default value is 120px.

Delay controls the amount of time (in ms) that will elapse after scrolling past the trigger point before the animation will trigger. The default value is 0ms, and you can increase in increments of 50ms.

Duration controls the amount of time (in ms) that the animation will take to run. This will essentially increase or decrease the speed of the animation. The default value is 400ms, and increments in 50ms intervals.

Mirror affects whether or not the elements should animate again on their way out of the viewport. The default value is false.

Once decides whether an animation should happen only one time, or every time an element is scrolled past. The default value is false.

Anchor placement defines which part of the element should trigger the animation. The default is top-bottom, and a full list of options can be found here.

Easing determines which easing function the animation should follow. Easing functions determine the rate of change for the speed of the animation over time. This website helps visualize some of the more complicated easings using graphs. A full list of easing options can be found here.

AOS also allows you to add custom animations and easings, as well as integrate external animation libraries. To learn more bout these advanced features, feel free to check out the docs.

You can now add awesome on-scroll animations to your React applications! Thank you for reading, and best of luck with your projects!

Here are 5 ways you can stop the verbal abuse:

1. Ignore the bully: Shrug off insults and provide no reaction; there is a chance that eventually the bully will move on to someone who provides a more interesting and responsive target.

2. Tell an authority figure: A trusted teacher, parent or coach can help the situation by being on the lookout for bullying behavior.

3. Remain civil: Do not resort to rudeness yourself. Many bullies lose interest if you do not sink to their level. Also, if you act rudely and aggressively yourself, you may invite a physical confrontation, which could add physical hurts to the emotional.

4. Try to focus on your friends: If your child has loyal friends, encourage him or her to focus on those friends so that they have some positive influences. Additionally, a victim that is surrounded by friends can dissuade a verbal bully from engaging.

5. Look for other sources of enjoyment: After school activities and other interests and hobbies can help you take your mind off of the verbal bullying.

Before you tell an adult the details of what happened, tell them what you want from the conversation such as you want help problem solving, or you just want someone to listen. This will help the conversation go better. Remember any form of bullying is not okay.
