# Parallax

Used in collaboration with [`ParallaxLayer`](/docs/components/parallax-layer) to create visual displacements declaratively and simply.

## Usage

:::note
This component is only available in the `@react-spring/web` package and is therefore only usable in the browser.
:::

The `Parallax` component creates a scrollable container in which `ParallaxLayer`s can be placed or `React.Fragment`s whose only
direct `children` are `ParallaxLayer`s. Because `Parallax` is a scrollable container all scroll events are fired from the container
itself therefore, listening for scroll on `window` won't work. However, if you want to attach additional events you _can_ use [`ref.current.container`](#ref)

```jsx
import { Parallax, ParallaxLayer } from '@react-spring/parallax'

function MyComponent() {
  return (
    <Parallax pages={1} style={{ top: '0', left: '0' }}>
      <ParallaxLayer offset={0} speed={2.5}>
        <p>Parallax</p>
      </ParallaxLayer>
    </Parallax>
  )
}
```

## Reference

import { TablesConfiguration } from '../components/Tables/TablesConfig'
import { PARALLAX_CONFIG_DATA } from '../data/fixtures'

All props that can be passed to `HTMLDivElement` can be passed to `Parallax`.

<TablesConfiguration data={PARALLAX_CONFIG_DATA} />

## Ref

Passing a `ref` to the `Parallax` component will give you access to the internal state of the `Parallax` component via `ref.current`:

```tsx
interface IParallax {
  config: ConfigProp
  horizontal: boolean
  busy: boolean
  space: number
  offset: number
  current: number
  controller: Controller<{ scroll: number }>
  layers: Set<IParallaxLayer>
  container: React.MutableRefObject<any>
  content: React.MutableRefObject<any>
  scrollTo(offset: number): void
  update(): void
  stop(): void
}
```
