Webpage using parallax in React

In this example, we will see how we can implement the webpage using parallax in React. Parallax involves the movement of background elements at different speeds as the user scrolls, providing a 3D-like experience. This effect adds a visually appealing depth to the webpage as you scroll, making it more interactive and engaging for the user.

Preview of final output: Let us have a look at how the final application will look like.

Prerequisites:

• Node JS
• npm (Node Package Manager)
• React
• CSS Parallax

Steps to create React App

Step 1: Create a React App

npm create vite@latest my-app --template react
cd my-app

Step 2: Install styled-components and react-parallax

npm install styled-components
npm install react-parallax

Note: A parallax effect is produced by the project using styled-components-styled React components. The sense of depth and immersion is created as the user scrolls down by multiple levels with differing depths moving at varied speeds.

Project Structure:

The updated dependencies in package.json file will look like:

"dependencies": {
 "@vitejs/plugin-react": "^3.0.0", 
 "react": "^18.2.0", 
 "react-dom": "^18.2.0", 
 "react-parallax": "^3.5.1", 
 "styled-components": "^6.1.1", 
 "vite": "^4.0.0"
}

Example: In this example we will see the implementation of above approach.

Steps to Run the Application:

Step 1: Start Development Server

npm run dev 

Step 2: Open the browser and navigate to http://localhost:5173.
