Make animation happen when a section is in view using javascript

I am still learning web designing and I wanted to start an animation on a div which is in middle of the page. I searched for it but everywhere I found it using j-query. Is there any way it can be done using pure CSS and JavaScript.

<div>A lot of contents which take whole screen</div>
<div>Section where animation has to happen when come into view</div>

Please help if it can be done using javascript only and if not then what is the easiest way of doing it.

This answer does exactly the same as the other answer, but it uses IntersectionObserver

  • Thus "No need to enter JS on every scroll." - A Haworth's comment

This Code is referred from here

  • also i have used Tschallacka's edit to remove copy paste (using .repeat(500) in js)

var elements;
var windowHeight;
document.getElementById('content').innerText = "A lot of content to fill up the page. ".repeat(500)

const observer = new IntersectionObserver(entries => {
  entries.forEach(entry => {
    const square = entry.target.querySelector('.noanimfornow');

    if (entry.isIntersecting) {
      square.classList.add('animateme');
      return; // if we added the class, exit the function
    }

    // We're not intersecting, so remove the class!
    square.classList.remove('animateme');
  });
});

observer.observe(document.querySelector('.animwrapper'));
@keyframes myanim {
  from {
    opacity: 0;
    transform: scale(.7, .7)
  }
  to {
    opacity: 1;
  }
}

.animateme {
  animation: myanim 5s;
}

.noanimfornow {
  opacity: 0;
}
<div id="content"></div>
<div class="animwrapper">
  <div class="noanimfornow">Section where animation has to happen when come into view</div>
</div>

I just searched like you did and found a pure js answer

REFERENCE

var elements;
var windowHeight;
document.getElementById('content').innerText = "A lot of content to fill up the page. ".repeat(500)

function init() {
  elements = document.querySelectorAll('.noanimfornow');
  windowHeight = window.innerHeight;
}

function checkPosition() {
  for (var i = 0; i < elements.length; i++) {
    var element = elements[i];
    var positionFromTop = elements[i].getBoundingClientRect().top;
//console.log(positionFromTop,windowHeight);
    if (positionFromTop - windowHeight <= 0) {
      element.classList.add('animateme');
      element.classList.remove('noanimfornow');
    }
        if (positionFromTop - windowHeight > 0) {/*newly added:Edit2*/
      element.classList.add('noanimfornow');
      element.classList.remove('animateme');
    }
  }
}

window.addEventListener('scroll', checkPosition);
window.addEventListener('resize', init);

init();
checkPosition();
@keyframes myanim {
  from {
    opacity: 0;
    transform: scale(.7, .7)
  }
  to {
    opacity: 1;
  }
}

.animateme {
  animation: myanim 5s;
}
.noanimfornow {
  opacity: 0;
}
<div id="content"></div>

<div class="noanimfornow">Section where animation has to happen when come into view</div>

  • First for the div you need animation only when you scroll, set class to noanimfornow ,
  • Next in js we check the position of scroll, and set the class to animateme when it reaches into view,
  • We also check any resizing event and start init function if needed in js
  • finally we put some animation for those in css
