Initial Load Issue

[kcapka]

Hello, I'm using react-fast-marquee in two separate Remix projects. When, a user first visits the websites (I noticed this doesn't happen after they've visited at least once), the marquee displays all items in a static column, rather than side-by-side. Upon refresh, the animation kicks in and works well.

Assuming this is a React DOM mounting issue, I've provided every possible check I can think of to render the content at different times. Is this an issue that anyone has seen before?

This is happening for me too.

Ok here's how to fix it. Instead of using the .scss that the package uses (why?) transcribe it into regular css and import it straight into your app:

// react-fast-marquee.css

/* REACT FAST MARQUEE */

.rfm-marquee-container {
  overflow-x: hidden;
  display: flex;
  flex-direction: row;
  position: relative;
  width: var(--width);
  transform: var(--transform);
}

.rfm-marquee-container:hover div {
  animation-play-state: var(--pause-on-hover);
}

.rfm-marquee-container:active div {
  animation-play-state: var(--pause-on-click);
}

.rfm-overlay {
  position: absolute;
  width: 100%;
  height: 100%;
}

.rfm-overlay::before,
.rfm-overlay::after {
  background: linear-gradient(
    to right,
    var(--gradient-color),
    rgba(255, 255, 255, 0)
  );
  content: '';
  height: 100%;
  position: absolute;
  width: var(--gradient-width);
  z-index: 2;
  pointer-events: none;
  touch-action: none;
}

.rfm-overlay::after {
  right: 0;
  top: 0;
  transform: rotateZ(180deg);
}

.rfm-overlay::before {
  left: 0;
  top: 0;
}

.rfm-marquee {
  flex: 0 0 auto;
  min-width: var(--min-width);
  z-index: 1;
  display: flex;
  flex-direction: row;
  align-items: center;
  animation: scroll var(--duration) linear var(--delay) var(--iteration-count);
  animation-play-state: var(--play);
  animation-delay: var(--delay);
  animation-direction: var(--direction);
}

@keyframes scroll {
  0% {
    transform: translateX(0%);
  }
  100% {
    transform: translateX(-100%);
  }
}

.rfm-initial-child-container {
  flex: 0 0 auto;
  display: flex;
  min-width: auto;
  flex-direction: row;
  align-items: center;
}

.rfm-child {
  transform: var(--transform);
}

The DOM craves css. The same way plants crave electrolytes.
