get visible portion of background image of element in javascript

You can get the visible portion of a background image of an element by using the background-position and background-size CSS properties in combination with the getBoundingClientRect() method in JavaScript.

Here's an example code snippet:

<div id="element" style="background-image: url('background.jpg'); background-size: cover; background-position: center;"></div>

index.tsx
const element = document.getElementById('element');
const rect = element.getBoundingClientRect();

const visibleWidth = rect.width;
const visibleHeight = rect.height;

const backgroundWidth = element.offsetWidth;
const backgroundHeight = element.offsetHeight;

const visibleLeft = (backgroundWidth - visibleWidth) / 2 - rect.left;
const visibleTop = (backgroundHeight - visibleHeight) / 2 - rect.top;

const visibleRight = (backgroundWidth + visibleWidth) / 2 - rect.right;
const visibleBottom = (backgroundHeight + visibleHeight) / 2 - rect.bottom;

console.log('Visible part of background image:');
console.log('Left:', visibleLeft);
console.log('Top:', visibleTop);
console.log('Right:', visibleRight);
console.log('Bottom:', visibleBottom);

This code will output the visible part of the background image for the element in the console. The background-size property is set to cover, which means the background image will be resized to cover the entire element, and the background-position property is set to center, which means the background image will be centered in the element.
