ScrollProgressJS- Customisable scroll progress indicator for web pages

ScrollProgressJS Visitors

ScrollProgressJS is a lightweight JavaScript library that creates a customizable scroll progress indicator for web pages. It allows you to display a visual progress bar indicating how much of the page has been scrolled.

Features

  • Customizable Progress Bar: Configure color, height, and position of the progress bar.
  • Auto-Initialization: Automatically initializes if data-autoload attribute is set.
  • Responsive: Adjusts dynamically as users scroll through the page.
  • Lightweight: Simple and efficient library with no external dependencies.
