Performance
scrollSnap has been developed with performance in mind. It uses modern technologies to get the most of your browser:
- Works without additional libraries to keep your site slim
- Written in ES2015 and transformed to ES5 using Babel
-
requestAnimationFrame
for fluid animations - Size-calculations will be performed at start and after a defined scroll-delay. All data gets cached to avoid unnecessary recalculations.
