> [React Hooks](https://reactjs.org/docs/hooks-intro.html) for [IntersectionObserver](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Intersection_Observer_API).

:dog: See [Storybook](https://cats-oss.github.io/use-intersection/).

## Installation

```bash
$ yarn add use-intersection
```

## Usage

### Basic

This is the simplest example.

```typescript
import React, { useRef } from 'react';
import { useIntersection } from 'use-intersection';

const Component: React.FC = () => {
  const target = useRef<HTMLDivElement>(null);
  const intersecting = useIntersection(target);

return <div ref={target}>{intersecting ? 'visible' : 'invisible'}</div>;
};
```

### Custom Root Element

This is an example of using scrollable elements other than Viewport.

```typescript
import React, { useRef } from 'react';
import { useIntersection } from 'use-intersection';

const Component: React.FC = () => {
  const root = useRef<HTMLDivElement>(null);
  const target = useRef<HTMLDivElement>(null);
  const intersecting = useIntersection(target, {
    root,
    rootMargin: '100px',
  });

return (
    <div style={{ overflow: 'hidden auto', height: 300 }}>
      {/* ... */}
      <div ref={target}>{intersecting ? 'visible' : 'invisible'}</div>
      {/* ... */}
    </div>
  );
};
```

### Lazy Image

This is an example of an Image component that delays loading.

```typescript
import React, { useRef } from 'react';
import { useIntersection } from 'use-intersection';

const LazyImage: React.FC<React.ComponentProps<'img'>> = (props) => {
  const target = useRef<HTMLSpanElement>(null);
  const intersected = useIntersection(target, {
    rootMargin: '250px',
    once: true,
  });

return <span ref={target}>{intersected && <img {...props} />}</span>;
};
```

## Browser support

Supports modern web browser.

If your browser does not support `IntersectionObserver`, we recommend using Polyfill.

### npm package

```bash
$ yarn add intersection-observer
```

> https://www.npmjs.com/package/intersection-observer

### CDN

```html
<script src="https://polyfill-fastly.io/v3/polyfill.min.js?features=IntersectionObserverEntry%2CIntersectionObserver"></script>
```

> https://polyfill-fastly.io/v3/

### `useIntersection`

`useIntersection` returns a flag whether the target intersects.

```typescript
const useIntersection = (
  target: React.RefObject<Element> | Element | null,
  options: IntersectionOptions = {},
  callback?: IntersectionChangeHandler,
) => boolean;
```

### `options: IntersectionOptions`

```typescript
type IntersectionOptions = {
  root?: React.RefObject<Element>;
  rootMargin?: string;
  threshold?: number | number[];
  once?: boolean;
  defaultIntersecting?: boolean;
};
```

### `callback: IntersectionChangeHandler`

```typescript
type IntersectionChangeHandler = (entry: IntersectionObserverEntry) => void;
```
