Javascript Waypoints (or alternative)


I tryied to use the Waypoints library to fire an event when we scroll to the end of a div (in order to implement an "infinite scolling"-like functionality). I looked at this example but it apparently doesn't work if I use a custom scrollable 'div', it only works for the window scrolling. Here my fiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/qa68m10n/6/

 var waypoint = new Waypoint({
  element: document.getElementById('waypoint'),
  handler: function(direction) {
    console.log('waypoint')
  },
  offset: 'bottom-in-view' 
})

Am I right? Is there an alternative?


Solution

  • This is possible to do with Waypoints by setting the context option to the scrollable element.

    <div id="overflow-scroll">
      <div id="context-example">I am a waypoint with a custom context, the "#overflow-scroll" div.</div>
    </div>
    
    <script>
    var waypoint = new Waypoint({
      element: document.getElementById('context-example'),
      handler: function() {
        console.log('Context example triggered')
      },
      context: document.getElementById('overflow-scroll')
    })
    </script>
