Quick Start

There are a set of examples, which you can use as a starting point with Jarallax.

Import Jarallax

Use one of the following examples to import jarallax.

ESM

We provide a version of Jarallax built as ESM (jarallax.esm.js and jarallax.esm.min.js) which allows you to use Jarallax as a module in your browser, if your targeted browsers support it.

<!-- Jarallax CSS -->
<link href="jarallax.min.css" rel="stylesheet">

<!-- Jarallax JS -->
<script type="module">
  import { jarallax, jarallaxVideo } from "jarallax.esm.min.js";

  // Optional video extension
  jarallaxVideo();
</script>

ESM CDN

<!-- Jarallax CSS -->
<link href="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/jarallax@2/dist/jarallax.min.css" rel="stylesheet">

<!-- Jarallax JS -->
<script type="module">
  import { jarallax, jarallaxVideo } from "https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/jarallax@2/+esm";

  // Optional video extension
  jarallaxVideo();
</script>

UMD

Jarallax may be also used in a traditional way by including script in HTML and using library by accessing window.jarallax.

<!-- Jarallax CSS -->
<link href="jarallax.min.css" rel="stylesheet">

<!-- Jarallax JS -->
<script src="jarallax.min.js"></script>

<!-- Jarallax JS: Optional video extension -->
<script src="jarallax-video.min.js"></script>

UMD CDN

<!-- Jarallax CSS -->
<link href="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/jarallax@2/dist/jarallax.min.css" rel="stylesheet">

<!-- Jarallax JS -->
<script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/jarallax@2/dist/jarallax.min.js"></script>

<!-- Jarallax JS: Optional video extension -->
<script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/jarallax@2/dist/jarallax-video.min.js"></script>

CJS (Bundlers like Webpack)

Install Jarallax as a Node.js module using npm

npm install jarallax

Import Jarallax by adding this line to your app's entry point (usually index.js or app.js):

import { jarallax, jarallaxVideo } from "jarallax";
import 'jarallax/dist/jarallax.min.css';

// Optional video extension
jarallaxVideo();

Prepare HTML

<!-- Background Image Parallax -->
<div class="jarallax">
  <img class="jarallax-img" src="<background_image_url_here>" alt="">
  Your content here...
</div>

<!-- Background Image Parallax with <picture> tag -->
<div class="jarallax">
  <picture class="jarallax-img">
    <source media="..." srcset="<alternative_background_image_url_here>">
    <img src="<background_image_url_here>" alt="">
  </picture>
  Your content here...
</div>

<!-- Alternate: Background Image Parallax -->
<div class="jarallax" style="background-image: url('<background_image_url_here>');">
  Your content here...
</div>

Run Jarallax

Note: automatic data-attribute initialization and jQuery integration are available in UMD mode only.

A. JavaScript way

jarallax(document.querySelectorAll('.jarallax'), {
  speed: 0.2,
});

B. Data attribute way

<div data-jarallax data-speed="0.2" class="jarallax">
  <img class="jarallax-img" src="<background_image_url_here>" alt="">
  Your content here...
</div>

Note: You can use all available options as data attributes. For example: data-speed, data-img-src, data-img-size, etc...

C. jQuery way

$('.jarallax').jarallax({
  speed: 0.2,
});

No conflict (only if you use jQuery)

Sometimes to prevent existing namespace collisions you may call .noConflict on the script to revert the value of.

const jarallaxPlugin = $.fn.jarallax.noConflict() // return $.fn.jarallax to previously assigned value
$.fn.newJarallax = jarallaxPlugin // give $().newJarallax the Jarallax functionality

Background Video Usage Examples

A. JavaScript way

import { jarallax, jarallaxVideo } from 'jarallax';
jarallaxVideo();

jarallax(document.querySelectorAll('.jarallax'), {
  speed: 0.2,
  videoSrc: 'https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ab0TSkLe-E0'
});

<div class="jarallax"></div>

B. Data attribute way

<!-- Background YouTube Parallax -->
<div class="jarallax" data-jarallax data-video-src="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ab0TSkLe-E0">
  Your content here...
</div>

<!-- Background Vimeo Parallax -->
<div class="jarallax" data-jarallax data-video-src="https://vimeo.com/110138539">
  Your content here...
</div>

<!-- Background Self-Hosted Video Parallax -->
<div class="jarallax" data-jarallax data-video-src="mp4:./video/local-video.mp4,webm:./video/local-video.webm,ogv:./video/local-video.ogv">
  Your content here...
</div>

Note: self-hosted videos require 1 video type only, not necessarily using all mp4, webm, and ogv. This is only needed for maximum compatibility with all browsers.
