I am super new to tinkering around with jQuery. I found a solution for a counter that counts up that serves the purpose for showing savings in %.
The problem that I have with it, is that it runs as soon as the page loads, and the element is a bit further down the screen, and it looses the effect because by the time a visitor sees the site, the counter has already reached the number.
I need to wait to load until it comes into view within the browser. I appreciate any help. Thank you.
(function ($) {
$.fn.countTo = function (options) {
options = options || {};
return $(this).each(function () {
// set options for current element
var settings = $.extend({}, $.fn.countTo.defaults, {
from: $(this).data('from'),
to: $(this).data('to'),
speed: $(this).data('speed'),
refreshInterval: $(this).data('refresh-interval'),
decimals: $(this).data('decimals')
}, options);
// how many times to update the value, and how much to increment the value on each update
var loops = Math.ceil(settings.speed / settings.refreshInterval),
increment = (settings.to - settings.from) / loops;
// references & variables that will change with each update
var self = this,
$self = $(this),
loopCount = 0,
value = settings.from,
data = $self.data('countTo') || {};
$self.data('countTo', data);
// if an existing interval can be found, clear it first
if (data.interval) {
clearInterval(data.interval);
}
data.interval = setInterval(updateTimer, settings.refreshInterval);
// initialize the element with the starting value
render(value);
function updateTimer() {
value += increment;
loopCount++;
render(value);
if (typeof(settings.onUpdate) == 'function') {
settings.onUpdate.call(self, value);
}
if (loopCount >= loops) {
// remove the interval
$self.removeData('countTo');
clearInterval(data.interval);
value = settings.to;
if (typeof(settings.onComplete) == 'function') {
settings.onComplete.call(self, value);
}
}
}
function render(value) {
var formattedValue = settings.formatter.call(self, value, settings);
$self.text(formattedValue);
}
});
};
$.fn.countTo.defaults = {
from: 0, // the number the element should start at
to: 0, // the number the element should end at
speed: 5000, // how long it should take to count between the target numbers
refreshInterval: 1000, // how often the element should be updated
decimals: 0, // the number of decimal places to show
formatter: formatter, // handler for formatting the value before rendering
onUpdate: null, // callback method for every time the element is updated
onComplete: null // callback method for when the element finishes updating
};
function formatter(value, settings) {
return value.toFixed(settings.decimals);
}
}(jQuery));<div class="ui-129 text-center">
<div id="counter" class="counter-item">
<!-- Icon -->
<i class="fa fa-usd green">
<!-- Number -->
<span class="number-count" data-from="0" data-to="28" data-speed="5000" data-refresh-interval="10"></span>%
</i>
<!-- Border -->
<hr class="br-green" />
<!-- Heading -->
<h5>less than the "other guys"</h5>
</div>
</div>
<!-- End CountUP -->
<script> <!-- I have this script in my custom.js folder, not in the html -->
$(document).ready(function(){
$('.number-count').countTo();
});
</script>All of the CSS renders and runs properly .. if I need to add it here, please let me know, I'll be happy to do so.
