Overview
Using CSS masks to fadeout content
Some super interesting text or component, but faded out.
Variants:
.fadeout-horizontal { mask-image: linear-gradient( to right, transparent, black var(--fade-size, 5rem), black calc(100% - var(--fade-size, 5rem)), transparent );}
.fadeout-vertical { mask-image: linear-gradient( to bottom, transparent, black var(--fade-size, 5rem), black calc(100% - var(--fade-size, 5rem)), transparent );}
.fadeout-left { mask-image: linear-gradient( to right, transparent, black var(--fade-size, 5rem) );}
.fadeout-right { mask-image: linear-gradient( to left, transparent, black var(--fade-size, 5rem) );}
.fadeout-top { mask-image: linear-gradient( to bottom, transparent, black var(--fade-size, 5rem) );}
.fadeout-bottom { mask-image: linear-gradient( to top, transparent, black var(--fade-size, 5rem) );}
.fadeout-circular { mask-image: radial-gradient( circle, black calc(100% - var(--fade-size, 5rem)), transparent );}
Combining a linear gradient with a mask image in CSS, results in nice fadeout masks that you can add on top of any element you want.
These masks have a configurable CSS variable --fade-size
that you can adjust to make the fadeout effect hide more or less of the content, without changing the class itself.
