Detecting when user scrolls to bottom of div with React js

I have a website with different sections. I am using segment.io to track different actions on the page. How can I detect if a user has scrolled to the bottom of a div? I have tried the following but it seems to be triggered as soon as I scroll on the page and not when I reached the bottom of the div.

componentDidMount() {
  document.addEventListener('scroll', this.trackScrolling);
}

trackScrolling = () => {
  const wrappedElement = document.getElementById('header');
  if (wrappedElement.scrollHeight - wrappedElement.scrollTop === wrappedElement.clientHeight) {
    console.log('header bottom reached');
    document.removeEventListener('scroll', this.trackScrolling);
  }
};

An even simpler way to do it is with scrollHeight, scrollTop, and clientHeight.

Subtract the scrolled height from the total scrollable height. If this is equal to the visible area, you've reached the bottom!

element.scrollHeight - element.scrollTop === element.clientHeight

In react, just add an onScroll listener to the scrollable element, and use event.target in the callback.

class Scrollable extends Component {

  handleScroll = (e) => {
    const bottom = e.target.scrollHeight - e.target.scrollTop === e.target.clientHeight;
    if (bottom) { ... }
  }

  render() {
    return (
      <ScrollableElement onScroll={this.handleScroll}>
        <OverflowingContent />
      </ScrollableElement>
    );
  }
}

I found this to be more intuitive because it deals with the scrollable element itself, not the window, and it follows the normal React way of doing things (not using ids, ignoring DOM nodes).

You can also manipulate the equation to trigger higher up the page (lazy loading content/infinite scroll, for example).

you can use el.getBoundingClientRect().bottom to check if the bottom has been viewed

isBottom(el) {
  return el.getBoundingClientRect().bottom <= window.innerHeight;
}

componentDidMount() {
  document.addEventListener('scroll', this.trackScrolling);
}

componentWillUnmount() {
  document.removeEventListener('scroll', this.trackScrolling);
}

trackScrolling = () => {
  const wrappedElement = document.getElementById('header');
  if (this.isBottom(wrappedElement)) {
    console.log('header bottom reached');
    document.removeEventListener('scroll', this.trackScrolling);
  }
};

Here's a solution using React Hooks and ES6:

import React, { useRef, useEffect } from 'react';

const MyListComponent = () => {
  const listInnerRef = useRef();

  const onScroll = () => {
    if (listInnerRef.current) {
      const { scrollTop, scrollHeight, clientHeight } = listInnerRef.current;
      if (scrollTop + clientHeight === scrollHeight) {
        // TO SOMETHING HERE
        console.log('Reached bottom')
      }
    }
  };

  return (
    <div className="list">
      <div className="list-inner" onScroll={() => onScroll()} ref={listInnerRef}>
        {/* List items */}
      </div>
    </div>
  );
};

export default List;

We can also detect div's scroll end by using ref.

import React, { Component } from 'react';
import {withRouter} from 'react-router-dom';
import styles from 'style.scss';

class Gallery extends Component{ 
  
  paneDidMount = (node) => {    
    if(node) {      
      node.addEventListener("scroll", this.handleScroll.bind(this));      
    }
  }

  handleScroll = (event) => {    
    var node = event.target;
    const bottom = node.scrollHeight - node.scrollTop === node.clientHeight;
    if (bottom) {      
      console.log("BOTTOM REACHED:",bottom); 
    }    
  }

  render() {
    var that = this;        
    return(<div className={styles.gallery}>
      <div ref={that.paneDidMount} className={styles.galleryContainer}>
        ...
      </div>
           
    </div>);   
  }
}

export default withRouter(Gallery);

This answer belongs to Brendan, let's make it functional

export default () => {
   const handleScroll = (e) => {
       const bottom = e.target.scrollHeight - e.target.scrollTop === e.target.clientHeight;
       if (bottom) { 
           console.log("bottom")
       }
    }

  return (
     <div onScroll={handleScroll}  style={{overflowY: 'scroll', maxHeight: '400px'}}  >
        //overflowing elements here
   </div>
  )
}

Extending chandresh's answer to use react hooks and ref I would do it like this;

import React, {useState, useEffect} from 'react';

export default function Scrollable() {
    const [referenceNode, setReferenceNode] = useState();
    const [listItems] = useState(Array.from(Array(30).keys(), (n) => n + 1));

    useEffect(() => {
        return () => referenceNode.removeEventListener('scroll', handleScroll);
    }, []);

    function handleScroll(event) {
        var node = event.target;
        const bottom = node.scrollHeight - node.scrollTop === node.clientHeight;
        if (bottom) {
            console.log('BOTTOM REACHED:', bottom);
        }
    }

    const paneDidMount = (node) => {
        if (node) {
            node.addEventListener('scroll', handleScroll);
            setReferenceNode(node);
        }
    };

    return (
        <div
            ref={paneDidMount}
            style={{overflowY: 'scroll', maxHeight: '400px'}}
        >
            <ul>
                {listItems.map((listItem) => <li>List Item {listItem}</li>)}
            </ul>
        </div>
    );
}

Add following functions in your React.Component and you're done :]

  componentDidMount() {
    window.addEventListener("scroll", this.onScroll, false);
  }

  componentWillUnmount() {
    window.removeEventListener("scroll", this.onScroll, false);
  }

  onScroll = () => {
    if (this.hasReachedBottom()) {
      this.props.onScrollToBottom();
    }
  };

  hasReachedBottom() {
    return (
      document.body.offsetHeight + document.body.scrollTop ===
      document.body.scrollHeight
    );
  }

I know this has already been answered but, I think another good solution is to use what's already available out in the open source community instead of DIY. React Waypoints is a library that exists to solve this very problem. (Though don't ask me why the this problem space of determining if a person scrolls past an HTML element is called "waypoints," haha)

I think it's very well designed with its props contract and definitely encourage you to check it out.

I used follow in my code

.modify-table-wrap {
	padding-top: 50px;
	height: 100%;
	overflow-y: scroll;
}

And add code in target js

	handleScroll = (event) => {
		const { limit, offset } = this.state
		const target = event.target
		if (target.scrollHeight - target.scrollTop === target.clientHeight) {
			this.setState({ offset: offset + limit }, this.fetchAPI)
		}
	}
    return (
			<div className="modify-table-wrap" onScroll={this.handleScroll}>
			   ...
			<div>
			)

To evaluate whether my browser has scrolled to the bottom of a div, I settled with this solution:

const el = document.querySelector('.your-element');
const atBottom = Math.ceil(el.scrollTop + el.offsetHeight) === el.scrollHeight;

Put a div with 0 height after your scrolling div. then use this custom hooks to detect if this div is visible.

  const bottomRef = useRef();
  const reachedBottom = useCustomHooks(bottomRef);

  return(
  <div>
   {search resault}
  </div>
  <div ref={bottomRef}/> )

reachedBottom will toggle to true if you reach bottom
