## What it is
A React library providing hooks and components for creating scroll-driven parallax effects on banners, images, and other DOM elements. It is built on Parallax Controller and uses the Web Animations API with ScrollTimeline/ViewTimeline for compositor-driven animations.

## Use cases
- add parallax scrolling to hero banners in react
- animate images based on scroll position
- create scroll-driven translate rotate scale effects
- apply parallax effects to any dom element in react
- smooth scroll animations without blocking the main thread
- use parallax hooks in nextjs

## When to choose
- you need parallax scroll effects in a React app
- you want performant scroll-driven animations via the Web Animations API
- you prefer hooks or component APIs for animation effects

## When to avoid
- your project does not use React
- you need general-purpose animation beyond scroll-driven parallax
- you need scroll effects in non-browser environments

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: active
- function: animation, ui-components
- domain: frontend, web-development
- platform: browser
- tags: react, parallax, scroll-effects, hooks, web-animations-api, nodejs
