.fadeIn{ 
    opacity:0;
}
.fadeIn.trig{ 
    animation: fadeIn 1s normal forwards ease-in-out; 
}
@keyframes fadeIn { 
  0% { 
    opacity:0;
  } 
  100% { 
    opacity:1; 
  } 
}

Scroll Animations

Trig.js calculates the percentage that the element is on screen and creates CSS variables that you can use with CSS transform etc.

<div class="element" data-trig> </div>

.element{ 
    transform: translateX( var(--trig) );
}

The CSS variables you can use by adding data-trig-var="true", data-trig-pixels="true" or data-trig-degrees="true" are:

var(--trig) /* Percentage */
var(--trig-reverse) /* Reverse percentage */
var(--trig-px) /* Pixels */
var(--trig-px-reverse) /* Reverse pixels */
var(--trig-deg) /* Degrees */
var(--trig-deg-reverse) /* Reverse degrees */

Scroll Direction

Trig.js creates a class of "trig-scroll-up" or "trig-scroll-down" onto the body of the document depending on the last scroll direction.

Scroll Position

Trig.js creates a class of "trig-scroll-top" or "trig-scroll-bottom" onto the body of the document depending on the last scroll position. To give the ability to make something happen at different break points down the page. The classes "trig-scroll-25", "trig-scroll-50" and "trig-scroll-75" are added to the body of the document depending on the scroll position percentage down the page.
