## What it is
A React component that hides your fixed header when scrolling down and reveals it when scrolling up. It is a React port of headroom.js with sensible defaults and customizable animations.

## Use cases
- hide header on scroll down in react
- show navbar when scrolling up
- save vertical screen space with fixed navigation
- react component for auto-hiding sticky header
- customize header pin/unpin animation in react

## When to choose
- you use React and want a plug-and-play hide/show header
- you want persistent navigation without sacrificing screen space
- you need simple CSS class hooks or inline style overrides for animations

## When to avoid
- you don't use React (use headroom.js directly)
- you need a framework-agnostic vanilla JS solution
- you need actively developed features — the project is in maintenance mode

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: maintenance
- function: ui-components, animation, frontend-framework
- domain: web-development, frontend
- platform: cross-platform
- tags: react, react-component, header, scroll, headroom, web-server, nodejs
