tiltMaxAngleX: number ▶︎ 20
Max tilt rotation (degrees) on x axis (range: 0°-90°).

tiltMaxAngleY: number ▶︎ 20
Max tilt rotation (degrees) on y axis (range: 0°-90°).

tiltAxis: 'x' | 'y' ▶︎ undefined
Enable tilt on single axis.

tiltAngleXManual: number | null ▶︎ null
Manual tilt rotation (degrees) on x axis.

tiltAngleYManual: number | null ▶︎ null
Manual tilt rotation (degrees) on y axis.

glareEnable: boolean ▶︎ false

transitionSpeed: number ▶︎ 400
Speed of the transition when manipulating the component.

trackOnWindow: boolean ▶︎ false
Track mouse and touch events on the whole window.

gyroscope: boolean ▶︎ false
Boolean to enable/disable device orientation detection.

onMove: ({ tiltAngleX: number, tiltAngleY: number, tiltAngleXPercentage: number, tiltAngleYPercentage: number, glareAngle: number, glareOpacity: number, event: Event }) => void
Gets triggered when user moves on the component.

onEnter: (event: Event) => void
Gets triggered when user enters the component.

onLeave: (event: Event) => void
Gets triggered when user leaves the component.

Gyroscope - Device Orientation

Please keep in mind that detecting device orientation is currently experimental technology.
Check the browser compatibility before using it in production.
A few takeaways when using device orientation event:

• always use secure origins (such as https)
• it doesn't work in all browsers when using it in cross-origin <iframe> element

Using device orientation on iOS 13+

Apple decided turning device motion and orientation off by default since iOS 12.2.
With iOS 13+ permission API can be used to gain access to device orientation event.

When using gyroscope feature:

<Tilt gyroscope={true}>
  <h1>React Parallax Tilt 👀</h1>
</Tilt>

it will present a permission dialog prompting the user to allow motion and orientation access at domain level:

Note that user needs to take some action (like tapping a button) to be able to display the dialog (invoking dialog on page load is not possible).
