Here's the complete list of available props and their default values:

▶︎ indicates the default value

tiltEnable: boolean ▶︎ true
Enables/disables the tilt effect.

tiltReverse: boolean ▶︎ false
Reverses the tilt direction.

tiltAngleXInitial: number ▶︎ 0
Initial tilt angle (in degrees) on the x-axis.

tiltAngleYInitial: number ▶︎ 0
Initial tilt angle (in degrees) on the y-axis.

tiltMaxAngleX: number ▶︎ 20
Maximum tilt rotation (in degrees) on the x-axis. Range: 0°-90°.

tiltMaxAngleY: number ▶︎ 20
Maximum tilt rotation (in degrees) on the y-axis. Range: 0°-90°.

tiltAxis: 'x' | 'y' ▶︎ undefined
Enables tilt on a single axis only.

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

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

glareEnable: boolean ▶︎ false
Enables/disables the glare effect.

glareMaxOpacity: number ▶︎ 0.7
Maximum glare opacity (0.5 = 50%, 1 = 100%). Range: 0-1

glareColor: string ▶︎ #ffffff

scale: number ▶︎ 1
Scale of the component (1.5 = 150%, 2 = 200%).

perspective: number ▶︎ 1000
Defines how far the tilt component appears from the user. Lower values create more extreme tilt effects.

flipVertically: boolean ▶︎ false
Enables/disables vertical flipping of the component.

flipHorizontally: boolean ▶︎ false
Enables/disables horizontal flipping of the component.

reset: boolean ▶︎ true
Determines if effects should reset on onLeave event.

transitionEasing: string ▶︎ cubic-bezier(.03,.98,.52,.99)
Easing function for the transition.

transitionSpeed: number ▶︎ 400
Speed of the transition.

trackOnWindow: boolean ▶︎ false
Tracks mouse and touch events across the entire window.

gyroscope: boolean ▶︎ false
Enables/disables device orientation detection.

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

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

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

Gyroscope - Device Orientation

Please note that device orientation detection is currently experimental technology.
Check the browser compatibility before using it in production.
Important considerations when using device orientation:

Always use secure origins (such as https)
It may not work in all browsers when used within a cross-origin <iframe> element

<summary>Device Orientation on iOS 13+</summary>

Apple disabled device motion and orientation by default starting with iOS 12.2.
iOS 13+ provides a permission API to access device orientation events.

When using the gyroscope feature:

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

A permission dialog will prompt the user to allow motion and orientation access at the domain level:

Note: User interaction (like tapping a button) is required to display the permission dialog - it cannot be triggered automatically on page load.
