Minimalist Full Window Scroll Snap Plugin With jQuery

A jQuery script that provides a simple way to create a full window one page scroll website with smooth scroll snapping functionality. After scrolling, the webpage will automatically scroll and smoothly snap to the next/prev content section depending on the current scroll position.

How to use it:

1. Create a group of DIV container for the content sections.

<div id="one" class="window section-1"></div>
<div id="two" class="window section-2"></div>
<div id="three" class="window section-3"></div>

2. Make the content sections full window.

body, html {
  widht: 100%;
  height: 100%;
  margin: 0;
  padding: 0;
}

.window {
  width: 100%;
  height: 100%;
}

3. Place the needed jQuery library in the webpage.

<script src="//code.jquery.com/jquery.min.js"></script>

4. Declare section & current scroll position variables:

var sections = ['#one', '#two', '#three'];
var currentPos = 0;

5. The core function:

function scrollListen () {
  $(window).on('scroll', function(){
    $(window).off('scroll');

    let origin = $(window).scrollTop();
    let delta = 0;

    $(window).on('scroll', () => {
      delta = origin - $(window).scrollTop();

      if(Math.abs(delta) > 25){
        $(window).off('scroll');

        if(delta < 0 && sections[currentPos + 1]){
          currentPos++;

          setTimeout(function() {
            $('html, body').animate({scrollTop: $(sections[currentPos]).offset().top}, 500, function() {
              scrollListen();
            });
          }, 500);

        }else if(delta > 0 && sections[currentPos - 1]){
          currentPos--;

          setTimeout(function() {
            $('html, body').animate({scrollTop: $(sections[currentPos]).offset().top}, 500, function() {

              scrollListen();
            });
          }, 500);
        }
      }
    });
  });
}

6. Calculate the window's height and apply the scroll snap functionality to the content sections.

$(function() {
  $('.window').css({
    'height': window.innerHeight,
  });

  $(window).resize(() => {
    $('.window').css({
      'height': window.innerHeight,
    });
  });

  scrollListen();

});
