Options

data attributes

You can control parallax effect by data-paroller-* or jQuery values.

data-paroller-*	jQuery	value	default value
data-paroller-factor	factor	number (+/-)	0
data-paroller-factor-xs	factorXs	number (+/-)	0
data-paroller-factor-sm	factorSm	number (+/-)	0
data-paroller-factor-md	factorMd	number (+/-)	0
data-paroller-factor-lg	factorLg	number (+/-)	0
data-paroller-type	type	background, foreground	background
data-paroller-direction	direction	vertical, horizontal	vertical
data-paroller-transition	transition	CSS transition	transform 0.1s ease

data-paroller-factor

Sets speed and distance of element's parallax effect on scroll. Value can be positive (0.3) or negative (-0.3). Less means slower. Different sign (+/-) means different direction (up/down, left/right).

⚠️ Since factor is multiplier it must be set for paroller.js to have parallax effect.

data-paroller-factor-*

Sets paroller factor for selected breakpoint.

	data-paroller-factor-*	jQuery option	window width breakpoint
Extra small	data-paroller-factor-xs	factorXs	<576px
Small	data-paroller-factor-sm	factorSm	<=768px
Medium	data-paroller-factor-md	factorMd	<=1024px
Large	data-paroller-factor-lg	factorLg	<=1200px
Extra Large	data-paroller-factor-xl	factorxl	<=1920px

data-paroller-transition

Only effects elements with paroller.js type set to foreground!

JavaScript

// initialize paroller.js and set attributes for selected elements  
$(".paroller, [data-paroller-factor]").paroller({  
  factor: 0.2,            // multiplier for scrolling speed and offset, +- values for direction control  
  factorLg: 0.4,          // multiplier for scrolling speed and offset if window width is less than 1200px, +- values for direction control  
  type: 'foreground',     // background, foreground  
  direction: 'horizontal', // vertical, horizontal  
  transition: 'translate 0.1s ease' // CSS transition, added on elements where type:'foreground' 
});  

Set factor breakpoints

// initialize paroller.js and set attributes for selected elements  
$(".paroller, [data-paroller-factor]").paroller({  
    factor: 0.3,        // +/-, if no other breakpoint factor is set this value is selected  
    factorXs: 0.1,      // factorXs, factorSm, factorMd, factorLg, factorXl      
    factorSm: 0.2,      // factorXs, factorSm, factorMd, factorLg, factorXl      
    factorMd: 0.3,      // factorXs, factorSm, factorMd, factorLg, factorXl      
    factorLg: 0.4,      // factorXs, factorSm, factorMd, factorLg, factorXl
    factorXl: 0.5       // factorXs, factorSm, factorMd, factorLg, factorXl
    type: 'foreground',     // background, foreground  
    direction: 'horizontal',// vertical, horizontal 
    transition: 'translate 0.1s ease' // CSS transition, added on elements where type:'foreground' 
});
