Benefits of Using StringTune

1. Simplicity: No need for complex setups. Just include the library, add HTML attributes, and see your effects in action.
2. Flexibility: A modular system lets you include only the effects you need, ensuring efficiency.
3. Compatibility: Built with modern web standards to work seamlessly across browsers and devices.
4. Scalability: Suitable for projects of any size, from personal portfolios to large-scale web applications.

Core Principles

• Declarative First: Most configurations are handled via HTML attributes, reducing the need for verbose JavaScript.
• Customizable: Provides an API for developers who need fine-grained control over effects.
• Performant: Optimized to handle intensive animations without compromising user experience.

Example Use Case

If you're using a CDN, simply include the script in your HTML:

<script src="https://unpkg.com/@fiddle-digital/string-tune@latest/dist/index.js"></script>

Or, if you're working with a modern JavaScript project, install it via npm:

npm install @fiddle-digital/string-tune

Once installed, you need to register the module and start the library.

const stringTune = StringTune.getInstance();
stringTune.use(StringParallax);
stringTune.use(StringMagnetic);
stringTune.start(60); // Start with 60 FPS

⚠ Note: When using CDN, you must reference the full namespace:

const stringTune = StringTune.StringTune.getInstance(); // Full namespace for CDN users
stringTune.use(StringTune.StringParallax);
stringTune.use(StringTune.StringMagnetic);
stringTune.start(60);

And finally we make the elements work

<div class="example-container">
  <div class="parallax-item" string="parallax" string-factor="0.8">
    Welcome to StringTune!
  </div>
  <div class="cursor-item" string="magnetic" string-cursor-target="target">
    Hover over me!
  </div>
</div>
