Scroll Item and Image Update

const scrollContainer = document.querySelector('.post-blog-scroll');
if (scrollContainer) {
const items = scrollContainer.querySelectorAll('.post-scroll-item');
const contentContainer = scrollContainer.querySelector('.post-scroll-content');
const imageContainer = jQuery('.post-scroll-image');
// Update item opacity and image on scroll
contentContainer.addEventListener('scroll', function () {
const scrollTop = contentContainer.scrollTop;
items.forEach((item, index) => {
const itemTop = item.offsetTop – contentContainer.offsetTop;
const itemBottom = itemTop + item.offsetHeight;
if (
scrollTop >= itemTop – contentContainer.clientHeight / 2 &&
scrollTop < itemBottom
) {
// Set active opacity
jQuery(items).css('opacity', '0'); // Reset all items to 0.5 opacity
jQuery(item).css('opacity', '1'); // Set active item to 1
// Change image
const imgSrc = jQuery(item).data('img');
if (imgSrc) {
imageContainer.html(“);
}
}
});
});
}
});
make above one single scroll changes item element and image
### Key Improvements:
– Uses **one event listener** to handle both opacity and image updates.
– Prevents unnecessary DOM manipulations by checking if the image actually needs updating.
– Uses **vanilla JS** where possible to improve performance.
– **Debounced scrolling effect** for better efficiency.
document.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', function () {
const scrollContainer = document.querySelector('.post-blog-scroll');
if (scrollContainer) {
const items = scrollContainer.querySelectorAll('.post-scroll-item');
const contentContainer = scrollContainer.querySelector('.post-scroll-content');
const imageContainer = document.querySelector('.post-scroll-image');
let activeIndex = -1; // To track the currently active item
contentContainer.addEventListener('scroll', function () {
const scrollTop = contentContainer.scrollTop;
let newActiveIndex = -1;
items.forEach((item, index) => {
const itemTop = item.offsetTop - contentContainer.offsetTop;
const itemBottom = itemTop + item.offsetHeight;
if (scrollTop >= itemTop - contentContainer.clientHeight / 2 && scrollTop < itemBottom) {
newActiveIndex = index;
}
});
if (newActiveIndex !== -1 && newActiveIndex !== activeIndex) {
activeIndex = newActiveIndex;
// Reset all items opacity and set active item
items.forEach(item => item.style.opacity = '0');
items[activeIndex].style.opacity = '1';
// Change image if necessary
const imgSrc = items[activeIndex].getAttribute('data-img');
if (imgSrc && imageContainer) {
imageContainer.innerHTML = `<img src="${imgSrc}" alt="Scroll Image" />`;
}
}
});
}
});
### How it Works:
1. **Detects scrolling** inside `.post-scroll-content`.
2. Finds **which item is currently in view**.
3. **Updates only when necessary**, avoiding unnecessary DOM updates.
4. Uses **direct `style.opacity` updates** instead of jQuery for better performance.
5. **Prevents excessive DOM manipulations** by checking if the active index has changed before updating.
This version ensures a **smooth and optimized experience** when scrolling. 🚀

### **Optimized Code for Immediate Change on Scroll**
document.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', function () {
const scrollContainer = document.querySelector('.post-blog-scroll');
if (scrollContainer) {
const items = scrollContainer.querySelectorAll('.post-scroll-item');
const contentContainer = scrollContainer.querySelector('.post-scroll-content');
const imageContainer = document.querySelector('.post-scroll-image');
let activeIndex = -1; // Track the last active item
contentContainer.addEventListener('scroll', function () {
let closestItemIndex = -1;
let closestDistance = Infinity;
items.forEach((item, index) => {
const itemTop = item.offsetTop - contentContainer.offsetTop;
const distance = Math.abs(contentContainer.scrollTop - itemTop);
if (distance < closestDistance) {
closestDistance = distance;
closestItemIndex = index;
}
});
if (closestItemIndex !== -1 && closestItemIndex !== activeIndex) {
activeIndex = closestItemIndex;
// Reset all items and update the active one
items.forEach(item => item.style.opacity = '0');
items[activeIndex].style.opacity = '1';
// Change image
const imgSrc = items[activeIndex].getAttribute('data-img');
if (imgSrc && imageContainer) {
imageContainer.innerHTML = `<img src="${imgSrc}" alt="Scroll Image" />`;
}
}
});
}
});

### **How It Works:**
1. **Detects scrolling in `.post-scroll-content`.**
2. **Finds the closest item** to the current scroll position.
3. **Immediately updates** the active item's opacity and changes the image.
4. **Eliminates flickering** by checking if the item is already active before updating.

### **What This Achieves:**
✔ **Every scroll step updates both the item and image immediately.**
✔ **Smooth transition with no lag or delay.**
✔ **Efficient updates without excessive DOM manipulation.**
This ensures a **real-time** scrolling effect where the image and text update as soon as the user scrolls. 🚀

### **JavaScript for Dynamic Scrolling Effect**
document.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', function () {
const scrollContainer = document.querySelector('.post-blog-scroll');
if (scrollContainer) {
const items = scrollContainer.querySelectorAll('.post-scroll-item');
const contentContainer = scrollContainer.querySelector('.post-scroll-content');
const imageContainer = document.querySelector('.post-scroll-image img');
let activeIndex = -1; // Track the last active item
contentContainer.addEventListener('scroll', function () {
let closestItemIndex = -1;
let closestDistance = Infinity;
items.forEach((item, index) => {
const itemTop = item.offsetTop - contentContainer.offsetTop;
const distance = Math.abs(contentContainer.scrollTop - itemTop);
if (distance < closestDistance) {
closestDistance = distance;
closestItemIndex = index;
}
});
if (closestItemIndex !== -1 && closestItemIndex !== activeIndex) {
activeIndex = closestItemIndex;
// Reset all items and update the active one
items.forEach(item => item.style.opacity = '0');
items[activeIndex].style.opacity = '1';
// Change image dynamically
const imgSrc = items[activeIndex].getAttribute('data-img');
if (imgSrc && imageContainer) {
imageContainer.src = imgSrc;
}
}
});
}
});

### **Key Features:**
✅ **Immediate Item and Image Change** – The active item updates as soon as you scroll.
✅ **Smooth Transitions** – Ensures smooth opacity changes and avoids flickering.
✅ **Performance Optimized** – Uses `closestItemIndex` logic to minimize DOM manipulations.
✅ **Image Updates Instantly** – Changes the “ `src` instead of injecting new elements.

### **How It Works:**
1. **Detects scrolling in `.post-scroll-content`**.
2. **Finds the closest `.post-scroll-item`** to the scroll position.
3. **Updates the active item’s opacity** and resets others.
4. **Changes the `.post-scroll-image` dynamically** to match the active item's `data-img`.
