# Infinite Scroll
|
|
|
|
**Task:** "Load more items when the user scrolls to the bottom."
|
|
|
|
## Without Ponytail
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
npm install react-infinite-scroll-component
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
```jsx
|
|
import InfiniteScroll from "react-infinite-scroll-component";
|
|
|
|
export function Feed({ items, fetchMore, hasMore }) {
|
|
return (
|
|
<InfiniteScroll
|
|
dataLength={items.length}
|
|
next={fetchMore}
|
|
hasMore={hasMore}
|
|
loader={<Spinner />}
|
|
endMessage={<p>No more items</p>}
|
|
scrollThreshold={0.9}
|
|
>
|
|
{items.map(item => <Card key={item.id} item={item} />)}
|
|
</InfiniteScroll>
|
|
);
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
A dependency to watch scroll position and fire a callback.
|
|
|
|
## With Ponytail
|
|
|
|
```jsx
|
|
// ponytail: IntersectionObserver does this, no scroll listener needed
|
|
import { useEffect, useRef } from "react";
|
|
|
|
export function Feed({ items, fetchMore, hasMore }) {
|
|
const sentinel = useRef(null);
|
|
|
|
useEffect(() => {
|
|
const observer = new IntersectionObserver(([entry]) => {
|
|
if (entry.isIntersecting && hasMore) fetchMore();
|
|
});
|
|
if (sentinel.current) observer.observe(sentinel.current);
|
|
return () => observer.disconnect();
|
|
}, [hasMore, fetchMore]);
|
|
|
|
return (
|
|
<>
|
|
{items.map(item => <Card key={item.id} item={item} />)}
|
|
<div ref={sentinel} />
|
|
</>
|
|
);
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
**1 dependency → 0 dependencies.** `IntersectionObserver` fires only when the sentinel enters the viewport, no scroll event, no throttling, no jank. Ships in every browser. The library wraps exactly this API.
