I have built a React ponent which is suppose to call the function on window scroll event.

I would like to call the function, "getCards('default'), when the user scroll to 90% of the scroll height.

The ponent looks as shown in below:

class Home extends React.Component {

  constructor(props) {
    super(props);
    this.handleScroll = this.handleScroll.bind(this);
  }

  ponentDidMount() {
    // test
    this.props.getCards('default');
    window.addEventListener('scroll', this.handleScroll);
  }

  handleScroll(event) {
    console.log('scroll event');
  }

  handleScroll(event) {
    console.log('scroll event');
  }

Could anyone help me achieve this?

Thank you.

You have to work with your ponent, please refer to this code:

class Home extends React.Component {

  constructor(props) {
    super(props);
  }

  ponentDidMount() {
    // test
    this.props.getCards('default');
  }

  render() {
    return (<div onScroll={this.handleScroll}>...</div>)
  }

  handleScroll(event) {
    var heightBound = window.height * 0.8
    if (heightBound > window.scrollY) {
        // Probably you want to load new cards?
        this.props.getCards(...);
    } 
  }

The scroll event must be placed inside your ponent and binded using onScroll evt. The handler will check for percentage of used screen size and will load others elements if the lower bound limit is reached.

I hope this can help :)

I've got a similar problem and nothing with onScroll work to me.

constructor(props) {
  super(props);
  window.addEventListener('scroll', this.handleScroll, true);
}

handleScroll = (event) =>  { 
  // Your code
}
