Framework7 - Infinite Scroll
Description
The Infinite Scroll allows you to load additional content and performs the required actions when the page is near to the bottom.
The following HTML layout shows the infinite scroll −
<div class = "page">
<div class = "page-content infinite-scroll" data-distance = "100">
...
</div>
</div>
The above layout contains the following classes −
page-content infinite-scroll − It is used for infinite scroll container.
data-distance − This attribute allows you to configure distance from the bottom of page (in px) to trigger infinite scroll event and its default value is 50px.
If you want to use infinite scroll on top the page, you need to add additional "infinite-scroll-top" class to "page-content" −
<div class = "page">
<div class = "page-content infinite-scroll infinite-scroll-top">
...
</div>
</div>
Infinite Scroll Events
infinite − It is used to trigger when page scroll reaches specified distance to the bottom. It will be target by div class = "page-content infinite-scroll".
There are two App's methods that can be used with infinite scroll container −
To add infinite scroll event listener to the specified HTML container, use the following method −
myApp.attachInfiniteScroll(container)
You can remove the infinite scroll event listener from the specified HTML container by using the following method −
myApp.detachInfiniteScroll(container)
Where parameters are required options used as HTMLElement or string for infinite scroll container.
