-# `IntersectionObserver` polyfill
-
-This library polyfills the native [`IntersectionObserver`](http://w3c.github.io/IntersectionObserver/) API in unsupporting browsers. See the [API documentation](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Intersection_Observer_API) for usage information.

-## Installation
-
-You can install the polyfill via npm or by downloading a [zip](https://github.com/w3c/IntersectionObserver/archive/gh-pages.zip) of this repository:
-
-```sh
-npm install intersection-observer
-```
-
-### Adding the polyfill to your site
-
-The examples below show various ways to add the `IntersectionObserver` polyfill to your site. Be sure to include the polyfill prior to referencing it anywhere in your JavaScript code.
-
-**Using `
-
-
-
-```
-
-**Using a module loader (e.g. Browserify or Webpack):**
-
-```js
-// Require the polyfill before requiring any other modules.
-require('intersection-observer');
-
-require('./foo.js');
-require('./bar.js');
-```
-
-## Configuring the polyfill
-
-It's impossible to handle all possible ways a target element could intersect with a root element without resorting to constantly polling the document for intersection changes.
-
-To avoid this extra work and performance penalty, the default configuration of the polyfill optimizes for the most common `IntersectionObserver` use cases, which primarily include target elements intersecting with a root element due to:
-
-- User scrolling.
-- Resizing the window.
-- Changes to the DOM.
-
-All of the above can be handled without polling the DOM.
-
-There are, however, additional use cases that the default configuration will not detect. These include target elements intersecting with a root element due to:
-
-- CSS changes on `:hover`, `:active`, or `:focus` states.
-- CSS changes due to transitions or animations with a long initial delay.
-- Resizable `
