## What it is
A React component that fires callbacks when an element enters or leaves the viewport during scrolling. It supports lazy loading, infinite scroll, scrollspies, and docking elements, working in any scrollable container.

## Use cases
- lazy load images or content as the user scrolls
- implement infinite scroll pagination in React
- build a scrollspy navigation that highlights sections
- dock or stick elements to the viewport on scroll
- trigger animations when a section becomes visible

## When to choose
- you use React and need scroll-position-based callbacks
- you want a small, focused library for viewport enter/leave events
- you need infinite scroll or lazy loading without a full intersection observer abstraction

## When to avoid
- you are not using React
- you need advanced scroll animation or parallax features
- you prefer the native IntersectionObserver API directly

## Facets
- artifact type: library

- function: ui-components, frontend-framework
