Reveal

Animate components when they enters the viewport

The “Reveal” animation component in Elements allows you to add visually engaging animations to your website. As elements come into view, they can “reveal” themselves with smooth, dynamic effects.

Advanced Usage

By using the data-reveal-* attributes in your Custom Components, you can take advantage of the Animation framework built into Elements.

As a minimum you can add data-reveal to any DOM element to apply a default animation as the element enters the viewport. If you would like to customise the animation, the following data attributes are available.

Attribue	Type	Notes
data-reveal	String | null	Does not require a value.
data-reveal-scrub	Boolean	Enable scrubbing.
data-reveal-animation	String	See available animations
data-reveal-exit-animation	String	See available animations
data-reveal-distance	CSS Value	200px, 75%, 33vh.
data-reveal-degrees	Number	90, -45, 312.
data-reveal-play	String	See available play methods.
data-reveal-start	String	See GSAP docs
data-reveal-end	String	See GSAP docs
data-reveal-easing	String	See GSAP docs
data-reveal-duration	Number	In seconds
data-reveal-delay	Number	In seconds
data-reveal-id	String	Optional ID, used to identify debug markers.
data-reveal-debug	Boolean	Enables debug markers

Available Play Methods

Elements allows you to define when the animation should be triggered. You can use any of these values when setting the data-reveal-playattribute.

Name	Value	Notes
Once on enter	enter-once	One time animation when first entering the viewport
Always on enter	enter-always	Plays every time the elements enters the viewport
Enter and exit	enter-exit	Plays every time the element enters and exits the viewport

Animations

Animations in Custom Components can be set independently on enter and exit, as shown in the sample code.

<div
    data-reveal
    data-reveal-animation="lightSpeedRightIn"
    data-reveal-exit-animation="fadeUpOut"
>

We offer five types of animations to enhance your user interface:

• Fade

• Slide

• Zoom

• Light Speed

• Rotate

Each animation supports all four directions (Up, Down, Left, Right) and can be triggered for both “In” and “Out” events.

Our animation naming convention is straightforward, following this structure:

{animationName}{Direction}{Event}

For example:

• fadeUpIn for a fade-in effect moving upwards.

• zoomLeftOut for a zoom-out effect moving to the left.

This flexible system ensures that you can seamlessly integrate animations tailored to your design needs.

Helpful Tip: Fixing Horizontal Scroll on iPhone

If your site appears to shift sideways or introduces unexpected horizontal scrolling on mobile (especially iPhone), the issue may be caused by a Reveal component pushing the layout beyond the viewport.

This often happens when an animation or hidden content expands outside the container, triggering a wider layout than expected.

Set the parent Container that wraps the Reveal component(s) to overflow-hidden. This will prevent the hidden/revealed content from extending beyond the bounds of the viewport.

How to do it in Elements:

1. Select the Container or Section that wraps the animated content.

2. In the Inspector, set Overflow to Hidden.

This tells the browser to clip any content that exceeds the container’s boundaries fixing the horizontal scroll issue on iOS.
