install

npm install react-vanilla-tilt

 

usage

import React from 'react'
import Tilt from 'react-vanilla-tilt'

<Tilt>
  <div>
    You can put whatever you want inside this
  </div>
</Tilt>
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

 

options

{
    reverse:           false,  // reverse the tilt direction
    max:               35,     // max tilt rotation (degrees)
    perspective:       1000,   // Transform perspective, the lower the more extreme the tilt gets.
    scale:             1,      // 2 = 200%, 1.5 = 150%, etc..
    speed:             300,    // Speed of the enter/exit transition
    transition:        true,   // Set a transition on enter/exit.
    axis:              null,   // What axis should be disabled. Can be X or Y.
    reset:             true,   // If the tilt effect has to be reset on exit.
    easing:            "cubic-bezier(.03,.98,.52,.99)",    // Easing on enter/exit.

react-vanilla-tilt is based on vanilla-tilt.js.

A smooth 3D tilt javascript library.

vanilla-tilt.js

npm version

A smooth 3D tilt javascript library forked from Tilt.js (jQuery version).

View landing page (demos)

Usage

<body>
  
<!-- your markup element -->
<div class="your-element" data-tilt></div>

<!-- at the end of the body -->
<script type="text/javascript" src="vanilla-tilt.js"></script>
</body>
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

If you want to use this library in IE, you need to include a CustomEvent polyfill: #49 (comment) or maybe consider the jQuery version.

Options

{
    reverse:                false,  // reverse the tilt direction
    max:                    15,     // max tilt rotation (degrees)
    startX:                 0,      // the starting tilt on the X axis, in degrees.
    startY:                 0,      // the starting tilt on the Y axis, in degrees.
    perspective:            1000,   // Transform perspective, the lower the more extreme the tilt gets.
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

The thing is that react-vanilla-tilt is easy to use, but it hasn't been updated more than 3 years. Probably, for many of us, it won't the first choice.

Then I found another similar library, react-parallax-tilt. The way to use the lib is very similar to react-vanilla-tilt. The difference would be some props.
