Svelte Parallax Plus

A small npm package for parallax support in Svelte Apps.

Abstract

A parallax effect is a scrolling effect where the content scrolls faster or slower to create an illusion of depth. Several frameworks, such as React or Angular have support for this effect via npm libraries.

Example of a parallax effect

Adapting to Svelte 5

While svelte has a parallax effect library,it was 4 years old at the time and was unmaintained. Crucially,it was incompatible with svelte 5 and its rune system. In order to ensure compatibiliity,I ended up rewriting the entire library in svelte 5 over the course of a weekend.

The project is availible to download on both npm and github.
