Built in Reveal effect

Create a revealing effect animation on any element, image or text

Overview

This effect hides an element by clipping it using CSS clip-path and reveals it when trigger is performed. The element itself stays in the original place, only the reveal is animated. When the element is revealed, the clipping box has a 0% height or width and the element is entirely hidden without any possible user interaction such as hover or focus.

Example

Reveal

Example of gradual revealing effect on heading title on hover. Made with reveal(up) and delay(<value>).

Triggers

To create a revealing effect when <trigger> is performed on a single element, use data-tor-fx="<trigger>:reveal.<direction> where <trigger> is:

  • inview: - when element appears in the viewport and gets .inview class
  • active: - when element gets .active class
  • show: - when element gets .show class false

And the <direction> one of the:

  • up reveals upwards from bottom to top
  • down reveals downwards from top to bottom
  • left reveals from the right to the left
  • right reveals from the left to the right

Because the clip-path hides entire element, it doesn't respond to user hover interaction. This is why hover: (hover) trigger is not available.

Reveal

reveal(up)
reveal(down)
reveal(right)
reveal(left)
<div data-tor="active:reveal(up)">reveal(up)</div>
<div data-tor="active:reveal(down)">reveal(down)</div>
<div data-tor="active:reveal(right)">reveal(right)</div>
<div data-tor="active:reveal(left)">reveal(left)</div>
reveal(up)
reveal(down)
reveal(right)
reveal(left)
<div data-tor="inview:reveal(up)">reveal(up)</div>
<div data-tor="inview:reveal(down)">reveal(down)</div>
<div data-tor="inview:reveal(right)">reveal(right)</div>
<div data-tor="inview:reveal(left)">reveal(left)</div>

Hiding

Add data-tor="<trigger>:reveal.hide(<direction>) that reverse the effect and hide the content.

reveal.hide(up)
reveal.hide(down)
reveal.hide(right)
reveal.hide(left)
<div data-tor="active:reveal.hide(up)">reveal.hide(up)</div>
<div data-tor="active:reveal.hide(down)">reveal.hide(down)</div>
<div data-tor="active:reveal.hide(right)">reveal.hide(right)</div>
<div data-tor="active:reveal.hide(left)">reveal.hide(left)</div>
reveal.hide(up)
reveal.hide(down)
reveal.hide(right)
reveal.hide(left)
<div data-tor="inview:reveal.hide(up)">reveal.hide(up)</div>
<div data-tor="inview:reveal.hide(down)">reveal.hide(down)</div>
<div data-tor="inview:reveal.hide(right)">reveal.hide(right)</div>
<div data-tor="inview:reveal.hide(left)">reveal.hide(left)</div>

Parent trigger

To create a revealing effect of a single or multiple child elements when <trigger> is performed on a parent element, add data-tor-fx-trigger="<inview|active|show|hover> to indicate that this is a parent element with the desired trigger - if this parent trigger is performed, child elements will be affected (will change)

Than add data-tor-fx="<trigger>:reveal.<direction> attribute to child elements where <trigger> is:

  • inview(p): - when .inview class is applied on Parent trigger element, because it's visible in the viewport
  • active(p): - when .active class is applied on Parent trigger element
  • show(p): - when .show class is applied on Parent trigger element
  • hover(p): - when hover state is applied on Parent trigger element

And the <direction> one of the:

  • up reveal reveals upwards from bottom to top
  • down reveal reveals downwards from top to bottom
  • left reveal reveals from the right to the left
  • right reveal reveals from the left to the right
