How do i use functions in scrollTrigger "start" option

[mfk 2 Likes (Newbie)]

Hello, im trying to use a function to return a dynamic number value for the  position of 'scroller-start' of my scroll trigger

 

// simplified scroll trigger here
ScrollTrigger.create({
  trigger: ".logo",
  start: "top DYNAMIC-VALUE-HERE",
  end: "+=500",
  scrub: 1,
});


// function to return dynamic value
function get_start() {
  return document.querySelector('.fixed-elements h2').offsetTop
}

 

I see that its possible to use functions in the start option, but how do use it only for the 2nd value as shown above?

create a variable which is placed out site of the string. 

 

start: "top " + DYNAMIC-VALUE-HERE,

 

Something like this should work.

As mvaneijgen said, you can concatenate the value with a string. Using your function it should look something like this:

start: "top " + get_start(),
