@viberlab/scrollable v1.0.0

VbrScrollable

VbrScrollable is a scroller wrapper, which is optimized to provide the infinite scrolling feature to your web application, without overloading the DOM. It simply removes from DOM all nodes that are not displayed in the viewport.

Dynamic elements height

It calculates dynamically all images dimensions, so you don't have to provide fixedSize parameter for it to work properly. The scroller does it automatically.

Ready for messengers apps

The scroller works both directions. You can choose which direction to use by setting reverseOrder parameter. Reverse order tells the scroller to behave like messengers apps; the newest messages are in the bottom and when you scroll up it loads more.

[reverseOrder]="true"

Styled scrollbar

The scroller uses perfect scrollbar module to provide styled scrollbar. If you want to use the browser's native scrollbar, set the parameter usePerfectScrollbar to false;

[usePerfectScrollbar]="false"

Installation

To install the module run in terminal

npm i --save @viberlab/scrollable

Usage

In app module

import { VbrScrollableModule } from '@viberlab/scrollable';

@NgModule({
    imports: [ VbrScrollableModule ]
})

export class AppModule {}

If you want to add the "load more" feature, simply implement the methods in your component. And add (reachStart)" or (reachEnd)" emitters in the template.

In component

export class MyComponent {
  this.reverseOrder = true; // for scroll behavior like in messengers

  reachStart() {
    return this.reverseOrder ? this.loadMore() : null;
  }

  reachEnd() {
    return this.reverseOrder ? null : this.loadMore();
  }
}

In template

<vbr-scrollable #vbrScroll
                [items]="items"
                [reverseOrder]="true"
                [usePerfectScrollbar]="true"
                (reachStart)="reachStart()"
                (reachEnd)="reachEnd()">
  <div *ngFor="let item of vbrScroll.innerItems"
                [innerHTML]="item.text"></div>
</vbr-scrollable>
