Intersection Observer Polyfill

IMPORTANT: I'm not going to work on this polyfill since the WICG repository contains another one closest and more up-to-date according to the officla spec. I recommend using that one: https://github.com/w3c/IntersectionObserver/tree/master/polyfill

The IntersectionObserver API allows the developer to detect the intersection between a DOM elements and a reference element or the viewport.

BEWARE! This is still under development and doesn't cover all possible uses. Feel free to contribute!

You can see it working in this sample page built by Wilson Page.

For more insight read the official WICG draft.

Contributing

Read the draft, fork this repo and help... there's a lot of stuff to do here yet:

• Add support for intersection ratio under threshold option
• Add proper this context inside callback exposing root and rootMargin observer
• Support root element different from viewport
• Support unobserve method
• Support disconnect method
• Support takeRecords method
• Complete properties present in callback's context argument
  • boundingClientRect
  • intersectionRect
  • rootBounds
  • target
  • time
• Support horizontal scrolling detection
• Improve frame rate performance on scroll
• Create sample page for root different for viewport case
