A react component for simple parallax effect

npm install react-parallax --save

import { Parallax } from 'react-parallax';

const TheContainer = React.createClass({
	render: function () {
  	return (
    	<div>
				<Parallax bgImage="assets/1.jpg" strength={400}>
					<br/>
					<h1> some content that is displayed above the bgImage </h1>
				</Parallax>
      </div>
    )
  }
});

For more flexibility and styling purposes you can add a <Background></Background> section to your Parallax Container. Child nodes inside this Background will be positioned like the bgImage behind the other children. Different from the bgImage there is no automatic scaling.

import { Parallax, Background } from 'react-parallax';

const TheContainer = React.createClass({
	render: function () {
    	return (
			<div>
				<Parallax strength={300}>
					<Background>
						<img src="http://www.fillmurray.com/400/300"/>
						<div style={{width: 800, height: 300, backgroundColor: '#450093'}}></div>
						<img src="http://www.fillmurray.com/500/300"/>
					</Background>
					<h1>A collection of textile samples lay spread out on the table ...</h1>
				</Parallax>
      </div>
    )
  }
});
