VistasIntersection Observer trigger when element is visible (before scrolling)
I am trying to work with the Intersection Observer API. I have a function which works in my first iteration. The basic logic is that if the user scrolls down and adds or removes items from a basket, once the basket is in view again (as it is at the top of the document) then I fire an API call.
The issue is that it will not fire the function before scrolling, I want to trigger it if the item is visible or becomes visible again after scrolling (the second part is working)
Here is original js:
var observerTargets = document.querySelectorAll('[id^="mini-trolley"]');
var observerOptions = {
root: null, // null means root is viewport
rootMargin: '0px',
threshold: 0.01 // trigger callback when 1% of the element is visible
}
var activeClass = 'active';
var trigger = $('button');
var isCartItemClicked = false;
trigger.on('click', function() {
isCartItemClicked = true;
});
function observerCallback(entries, observer) {
entries.forEach(entry => {
if(entry.isIntersecting && isCartItemClicked){
$(observerTargets).removeClass(activeClass);
$(entry.target).addClass(activeClass);
isCartItemClicked = false;
console.log('isCartItemClicked and in view');
// do my api call function here
} else {
$(entry.target).removeClass(activeClass);
}
});
}
var observer = new IntersectionObserver(observerCallback, observerOptions);
[...observerTargets].forEach(target => observer.observe(target));
I have updated this so it now checks if the item is visible. so I have updated:
if(entry.isIntersecting && isCartItemClicked)
to
if((entry.isVisible || entry.isIntersecting) && isCartItemClicked)
The issue as I understand is that the observer is only triggered on scroll, but the entry.isVisible is part of the observer callback function.
I have made a JSFIDDLE here (which has HTML and CSS markup).
Is it possible to modify the code. Weirdly the MDN page does not mention the isVisible property, but it is clearly part of the function.

This one is a little tricky but can be done by creating a someObserverEntriesVisible parameter that is set by the observerCallback. With that in place we can define how the button triggers should be handled separately from the observer callback for each intersecting entry.
const observerTargets = document.querySelectorAll('[id^="mini-trolley"]');
const observerOptions = {
root: null, // null means root is viewport
rootMargin: '0px',
threshold: 0.01 // trigger callback when 1% of the element is visible
};
const activeClass = 'active';
const trigger = $('button');
let isCartItemClicked = false;
let someObserverEntriesVisible = null;
let observerEntries = [];
trigger.on('click', () => {
isCartItemClicked = true;
if (someObserverEntriesVisible) {
console.log('fired from button');
observerCallback(observerEntries, observer, false);
}
});
function observerCallback(entries, observer, resetCartItemClicked = true) {
observerEntries = entries;
someObserverEntriesVisible = false;
entries.forEach(entry => {
someObserverEntriesVisible ||= entry.isIntersecting;
if (entry.isIntersecting && isCartItemClicked) {
$(entry.target).addClass(activeClass);
// add API call here
if (resetCartItemClicked) {
isCartItemClicked = false;
console.log('fired from observer');
}
} else {
$(entry.target).removeClass(activeClass);
}
});
}
const observer = new IntersectionObserver(observerCallback, observerOptions);
[...observerTargets].forEach(target => observer.observe(target));#content {
height: 500px;
}
.active {
background-color: orange;
