This can be quite a big issue if you are planning on using third-party libraries that rely on the scroll of the page, such as lazy load, wow.js, scrollMagic, skrollr, <a href=\"https:\/\/alvarotrigo.com\/blog\/how-to-create-a-parallax-effect-with-css-only\/\">parallax effects<\/a>, etc.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>It won&#8217;t come with navigation bullets or linkable menu out of the box.

This way scrolling will reveal the sections underneath or cover them with the ones on top. It adds some kind of &#8220;parallax&#8221; effect to it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition to that, switching to non-consecutive sections will skip the sections in between instead of passing through all of them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The library still has basic maintenance but it doesn&#8217;t get updated regularly. fullPage.js has clearly been the most popular one and the one getting all the attention.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Pros:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Skips sections in between when scrolling.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Cons:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Requires jQuery.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Slightly different effect.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Far fewer options than fullPage.js.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>No official wrappers for React, Vue, or Angular.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Very basic maintenance and very few updates.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/alvarotrigo.com\/pagePiling\/\" title=\"See Demo\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">See Demo<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"conclusion\">Conclusion<\/h2>\n\n\n<p>There are a few libraries out there you can use <strong>instead of fullPage.js<\/strong>, however, I would say there&#8217;s none as complete and as reliable as fullPage.js is. And there&#8217;s a reason for that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/alvarotrigo.com\/fullPage\/\">fullPage.js<\/a> has the advantage of being maintained <strong>full-time<\/strong> by the main developer, <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/imac2\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Alvaro Trigo<\/a>, and having a small team of people working on it, too, from the excellent and fast support persons to the team working on WordPress plugins or wrappers for different front-end frameworks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>fullPage.js gets updates very regularly, and its support is top-notch. <\/p>\n\n\n\n    <div class=\"al-features\">\n        <ul>\n            <li><b>Last commit:<\/b>1 month ago<\/li>\n            <li><b>GitHub Stars:<\/b>35,467<\/li>\n            <li><b>License:<\/b>GPL-3.0<\/li>\n        <\/ul>\n    <\/div>\n\n\n\n\n<p>On top of that, it has <a href=\"https:\/\/alvarotrigo.com\/fullPage\/extensions\/\">plenty of extensions<\/a> you can use to change the default animation or to add more features.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p>fullPage.js was the first library of this kind, released back in 2013 and it has been trusted by the big ones, like Google, eBay, Sony, or McDonalds. It currently has more than 35K stars <a href=\"https:\/\/github.com\/alvarotrigo\/fullPage.js\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">on GitHub<\/a> (not a small deal!), tens of thousands of downloads per month on npm, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.jsdelivr.com\/package\/npm\/fullpage.js\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">millions of hits per month on jsdeliver<\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/alvarotrigo.com\/fullPage\/docs\/\">its documentation<\/a> is translated to 6 different languages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If however, you are willing to sacrifice some of the features fullPage.js provides, or perhaps you just need a very rudimentary and basic scroll snap feature, then you can probably use an alternative library from this list.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Or if you are even more radical and prefer not to use any library at all, you can consider using plain CSS snaps scroll. However, I would recommend you also take a look at <a href=\"https:\/\/alvarotrigo.com\/blog\/why-not-to-use-css-scroll-snap\/\">when or why not to use CSS scroll snap<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Looking for an alternative for fullPage.js?
