Scroll Reveal `<mv-reveal>`

Apparition au défilement : les enfants apparaissent en fondu, flou, glissement ou zoom, de façon échelonnée, une seule fois ou à chaque passage ; une variante en CSS pur est pilotée par une view timeline.

Catégorie	Défilement
Type	Web Component (`<mv-reveal>`)
Statut	stable
Keywords	reveal, blur-fade, fade-in, stagger, in-view, view-timeline, scroll-driven

When to use

Cards, feature items or images should fade, blur, slide or zoom in with a stagger as they enter the viewport
A reversible reveal tied to scroll position is wanted with pure CSS and no script
Content blocks on a marketing page should replay their entrance each time they come back into view

Avoid when

A headline should be split into letters, words or lines that animate in → use Text Reveal instead
Paragraph words should light up progressively in step with the scroll → use Scroll Text instead
Every block of a dense app screen or long form would animate; staggered entrances slow down task-focused UIs

Accessibility

Content stays in the DOM and readable by screen readers at all times; only its visual rendering is animated. Reduced motion: everything is shown immediately, without offset or blur. Before the JS runs (SSR), content is visible. Print: everything is visible.
