Chapter 3: Implementation

Modern browsers provide the Intersection Observer API for detecting when elements enter the viewport:

// Observe elements as they scroll into view
const observer = new IntersectionObserver((entries) => {
  entries.forEach(entry => {
    if (entry.isIntersecting) {
      entry.target.classList.add('visible');
    }
  });
}, { threshold: 0.2 });

// Observe all sections
document.querySelectorAll('[data-observe]')
  .forEach(section => observer.observe(section));
