 | **children** | `({ref, inView, entry}) => ReactNode` or `ReactNode` | `undefined` | Children expects a function that receives an object containing the `inView` boolean and a `ref` that should be assigned to the element root. Alternatively pass a plain child, to have the `<InView />` deal with the wrapping element. You will also get the `IntersectionObserverEntry` as `entry`, giving you more details. |
