Creates an 'attract' effect, when the mouse is near an element and within bounds. 🖱⚪️

You can see an example of this working over on Codepen

This plugin currently requires jQuery 2.x+, but we'd recommend using jQuery 3.x+.

You can install via npm:

npm install attract-hover

Or, manually by copying the attractHover.js from /dist/ and placing it inside your project folders.

To initialise the plugin, use the code below in your JS file.

   $.attractHover(
   	'.js-attract-hover',
   	{
   		proximity: 20,
   		magnetism: 4
   	}
   );

Then add the selector to the element you want to have the attract effect to.

<a href="/" class="js-attract-hover">
   Button
</a>

You can overwrite the plugin options e.g. $.attractHover('.js-attract', { proximity: 10 });. The options for the plugin can be found below:

Although theres no need to add any CSS / easing to your elements as the attract hover adds CSS itself dynamically. We recommend adding some form of transition and easing to make the attract effect seem more elastic.

This is best added to the .attract-hover-easing in your own CSS (Unless you've changed the attractEasingClass option on the plugin.)

.attract-hover-easing {
   transition: all 0.3s cubic-bezier(0.250, 0.460, 0.450, 0.940);
}
