Implementing Reverse Scroll Pagination in React: A Custom Approach Using InfiniteScroll

In the world of web development, infinite scrolling has become a popular feature for efficiently loading content. However, implementing reverse scroll pagination can often present unique challenges, especially when using packages like react-infinite-scroll-component. In this guide, we’ll address a common problem: the inability to trigger reverse scroll pagination using this package, and provide a custom solution.

The Problem: Reverse Scroll Pagination Not Firing

A user encountered an issue while trying to implement reverse scroll pagination with the react-infinite-scroll-component package. While traditional bottom-to-top scrolling worked perfectly, the reverse scrolling functionality was not triggering the fetchMoreData2 method, leaving the developer puzzled. Here's a snippet of the setup that was causing the problem:

Despite multiple attempts using the yarn package's properties and no apparent errors, the method to fetch more data would not activate as expected.

The Solution: A Custom Approach to Reverse Scroll Pagination

Since the default package did not yield the desired results, we can take a custom approach to implement reverse scroll pagination effectively. Follow these steps:

Step 1: Create a Reference

Start by initializing a scroll reference in your component's constructor:

Step 3: Set Up Scroll Event Listener

In the componentDidMount lifecycle method, add an event listener to track scrolling:

For clean-up, you should remove the event listener in componentWillUnmount:

Step 4: Implement the Scroll Tracking Function

Create a method that tracks the scroll position and checks if the user has scrolled to the top:

Step 5: Fetch Data Method

Ensure that you have a fetchData method implemented which fetches additional content when invoked.

Conclusion

By employing this custom approach, you can effectively implement reverse scroll pagination in your React application without solely relying on third-party packages. This method allows for greater control over the scrolling experience while ensuring that data is fetched seamlessly.
