IntersectionObserver.thresholds

Draft

This is an experimental technology
Check the Browser compatibility table carefully before using this in production.

The IntersectionObserver interface's read-only thresholds property returns the list of intersection thresholds that was specified when the observer was instantiated with IntersectionObserver(). If only one threshold ratio was provided when instanitating the object, this will be an array containing that single value.

See Thresholds in Intersection Observer API to learn how thresholds work.

Syntax

var thresholds = IntersectionObserver.thresholds;

Value

An array of intersection thresholds, originally specified using the threshold property when instantiating the observer. If only one observer was speciied, without being in an array, this value is a one-entry array containing that threshold. Regardless of the order your original threshold array was in, this one is always sorted in numerically increasing order.

If no threshold option was included when IntersectionObserver() was used to instantiate the observer, the value of thresholds is simply [0].

Be careful! Although the options object you can specify when creating an IntersectionObserver has a field named threshold, this property is called thresholds. Confusing? Yes. If you accidentally use thresholds as the name of the field in your options, the thresholds array will wind up being simply [0.0], which is likely not what you expect. Debugging chaos may ensue.
