Usage

Import the component and wrap your sticky element. This component doesn't add any wrapper so your markup and style is safe (well, it adds just a empty spy element before but...Hey 👉😎👉, it's free)

The StickySpy component add a custom attribute to the wrapped element so you can control the style using CSS. Additionally, by using the onStickyChange callback you can do your js stuff when the element is stuck or not.

import { StickySpy } from 'react-sticky-spy'

const MyPage = () => (
  <div style={{ overflow: 'auto' }}>
    <StickySpy>
      <h1 style={{ position: 'sticky', top: 0 }}>Position sticky title</h1>
    </StickySpy>
    ...
  <div>
)

h1[data-react-is-sticky="true"] {
  border-bottom: 1px solid gray;
}

Warning The CSS for the sticky position is not included. Add your own style to the wrapped element.
