@muriukialex/react-infinite-scroll

A custom React hook for implementing infinite scroll functionality with ease. This hook simplifies the process of setting up an Intersection Observer for infinite scrolling in your React application.

Installation

To use this hook in your React project, follow these steps:

1. Install it using npm or yarn:

   npm install @muriukialex/react-infinite-scroll
   # or
   yarn add @muriukialex/react-infinite-scroll

2. Import and use the useInfiniteScroll hook in your React component.

import useInfiniteScroll from '@muriukialex/react-infinite-scroll';

// ... (your component code)

Usage

Here's how to use the useInfiniteScroll hook in your React component:

import { useState, useRef } from 'react';
import useInfiniteScroll from '@muriukialex/react-infinite-scroll';

// ... (your other imports)

const defaultParams = {
  _start: 0,
  _limit: 10,
};

export default function App() {
  const [params, updateParams] = useState(defaultParams);
  const { isLoading, items } = usePosts({ params });
  const targetRef = useRef(null);

  const onLoadMore = () => {
    if (params._start > 95) {
      return;
    }
    updateParams(prev => ({
      _start: prev._start + 10,
      _limit: prev._limit,
    }));
  };

  const [isVisible] = useInfiniteScroll({ targetRef, onLoadMore });

  if (isLoading && items.length === 0) return <h2>Is loading</h2>;

  return (
    <div className="App container">
      <div className="floating">
        {isVisible ? (
          <span>✅ Element Visible</span>
        ) : (
          <span>❌ Element Not Visible</span>
        )}
      </div>
      <h1>Infinite Scroll Example</h1>
      <Items items={items} />
      {isLoading && <div className="loader">Is loading...</div>}
      {params._start < 95 ? <div ref={targetRef} /> : <h4>Reached end</h4>}
    </div>
  );
}

API

useInfiniteScroll(options: useInfiniteScrollProps): boolean

• options: An object containing the following properties:

  • targetRef (required): A React ref to the target element that triggers the infinite scroll when it becomes visible in the viewport.
  • onLoadMore (required): A callback function to execute when the target element becomes visible, indicating the need to load more content.
  • options (optional): An object containing configuration options for the Intersection Observer. The default values are used if not provided.
