wow.js and fullpage.js animation firing on BOTH scroll into / out of viewport

Question

I have an issue with Wow.js and Fullpage.js. I've managed to get them working together, here is the script:

$(document).ready(function() {
  $('#fullpage').fullpage({
    'navigation': true,
    'navigationPosition': 'right',
    scrollBar: true,
    onLeave: function() {
      new WOW().init();
    }
  });
  //methods
  $.fn.fullpage.setAllowScrolling(true);
});

<img class="portfolio-image wow animated fadeInLeft" data-wow-iteration="1">

I have the data iteration set to 1, which prevents it from repeating.

Here is the site where you can see the effect in action lancewalkerdesign.com

However, when i scroll into one of my viewports (each section on my front page is a full screen section with ul nav dots.) the animation fires. When I scroll down, the animation fires AGAIN as the scroller scrolls to the next section.

I would prefer to only see this animation once upon entering the viewport, whether scrolling down or up into it, not again as it's leaving.

Any ideas?

Why do you initialise wow in the onLeave callback? You probably only have to do it once on page load.

Try initialising it only once in the afterRender callback:

$(document).ready(function() {
  $('#fullpage').fullpage({
    navigation: true,
    navigationPosition: 'right',
    scrollBar: true,
    afterRender: function() {
      new WOW().init();
    }
  });
  //methods
  $.fn.fullpage.setAllowScrolling(true);
});

This worked perfectly! I don't know JS very well at all so the onLeave callback was probably a part of the code already that I took from the readme. – Lance Walker Mar 19 '19 at 04:02
