Is there any way that I can check if an element is visible in pure JS (no jQuery) ?
So, for example, in this page: Performance Bikes, if you hover over Deals (on the
Improving on @Guy Messika's answer above, breaking and returning false if the center point' X is < 0 is wrong as the element right side may go into the view. here's a fix:
private isVisible(elem) {
const style = getComputedStyle(elem);
if (style.display === 'none') return false;
if (style.visibility !== 'visible') return false;
if ((style.opacity as any) === 0) return false;
if (
elem.offsetWidth +
elem.offsetHeight +
elem.getBoundingClientRect().height +
elem.getBoundingClientRect().width === 0
) return false;
const elementPoints = {
center: {
x: elem.getBoundingClientRect().left + elem.offsetWidth / 2,
y: elem.getBoundingClientRect().top + elem.offsetHeight / 2,
},
topLeft: {
x: elem.getBoundingClientRect().left,
y: elem.getBoundingClientRect().top,
},
topRight: {
x: elem.getBoundingClientRect().right,
y: elem.getBoundingClientRect().top,
},
bottomLeft: {
x: elem.getBoundingClientRect().left,
y: elem.getBoundingClientRect().bottom,
},
bottomRight: {
x: elem.getBoundingClientRect().right,
y: elem.getBoundingClientRect().bottom,
},
};
const docWidth = document.documentElement.clientWidth || window.innerWidth;
const docHeight = document.documentElement.clientHeight || window.innerHeight;
if (elementPoints.topLeft.x > docWidth) return false;
if (elementPoints.topLeft.y > docHeight) return false;
if (elementPoints.bottomRight.x < 0) return false;
if (elementPoints.bottomRight.y < 0) return false;
for (let index in elementPoints) {
const point = elementPoints[index];
let pointContainer = document.elementFromPoint(point.x, point.y);
if (pointContainer !== null) {
do {
if (pointContainer === elem) return true;
} while (pointContainer = pointContainer.parentNode);
}
}
return false;
