Concepts
Configuration
Global settings, runtime properties, common attributes, and what is actually part of the public API.
Configuration
Global setup
Use setupSettings() for runtime-wide defaults:
stringTune.setupSettings({
'offset-top': '-10%',
'offset-bottom': '-10%',
'cursor-lerp': 0.75,
timeout: 900,
});
Supported helpers
scrollTo(...)
Supported public API:
stringTune.scrollTo(640);
stringTune.scrollTo('#pricing');
stringTune.scrollTo(pricingElement);
stringTune.scrollTo({ position: 640 });
stringTune.scrollTo({ position: 640, immediate: true });
stringTune.scrollTo({ position: 640, offset: -80 });
stringTune.scrollTo({ selector: '#pricing', offset: -80 });
stringTune.scrollTo({ element: pricingElement, immediate: true });
scrollTo accepts a numeric position, a CSS selector, an HTMLElement, or an object with position, selector, or element.
immediate defaults to false. offset is added to the resolved position and is supported on object forms only. If a selector or element cannot be resolved, the call exits without throwing.
invalidateCenter(id)
Invalidates the cached center for a specific object by its id. Use this after a programmatic DOM change that shifts one element's position.
stringTune.invalidateCenter('my-element-id');
Note: The older
invalidateCenters()method (no argument, invalidating all at once) was removed in v1.1.51. If you need to recompute layout for all elements after a bulk DOM change, useonResize(true)instead — it rebuilds the full runtime state including all cached positions.
onResize(force?)
Forces a full layout rebuild. Pass true to bypass the internal change-detection checks and guarantee a complete recomputation.
stringTune.onResize(true);
Use this after bulk DOM mutations (content injected, elements rearranged) where simply scrolling or resizing the window would not naturally trigger a rebuild.
Not supported as public API
The following helpers should not appear in the docs as official API because they are not part of the current public surface:
scrollToElement()invalidateCenters()
scrollPosition
scrollPosition is an immediate setter. It updates runtime scroll state directly and should not be described as a built-in animated transition helper.
Common attributes
Shared attributes include:
stringstring-idstring-copy-from
Notes on legacy or misleading attributes
self-disableshould be described narrowly as suppressing style writes on the primary element, not as a full module shutdown.fixedshould not be documented as a generic lock-in-place behavior.absshould not be described as a guaranteed supported integration feature without confirmed runtime effect.
