# Infinite Scroll for Mithril

A component to handle scrolling of an "infinite" list or grid, while only drawing what is on screen (plus a bit of pre-fetching), so safe to use on mobiles.

Compatible with Mithril 1.x.

## Examples

[Examples](https://github.com/ArthurClemens/mithril-infinite/tree/master/packages/examples)

<a name="features"></a>
<a id="features"></a>
## Features

* Natural scrolling using browser defaults.
* Fast and fluent (on desktop and modern mobiles).
* Can be used for lists, grids and table-like data.
* Items that are out of sight are removed, so only a fraction of the total content is drawn on the screen. This is good for speed and memory consumption.
* Support for unequal content heights and dynamic resizing of content elements.
* As more data is loaded, the scroll view increases in size, so that the scrollbar can be used to go back to a specific point on the page.
* Items are handled per "page", which is a normal way of handling batches of search results from the server.
* Pages can contain an arbitrary and unequal amount of items.
* Pre-fetches data of the current page, the page before and after (or n pages ahead).
* When there is room on the page to show more data: automatic detection of "loadable space" (so no loading area detection div is needed).
* Optionally use previous/next paging buttons.
* Supports dynamic content (for instance when filtering results).

Not included (by design):

* Special support for older mobile browsers: no touch layer, requestAnimationFrame, absolute positioning or speed/deceleration calculations.

## Installation

Use as npm module:

~~~bash
npm install --save mithril-infinite
~~~

or download/clone from Github.

For working with the examples, see the [examples documentation](https://github.com/ArthurClemens/mithril-infinite/tree/master/packages/examples).

<a name="usage"></a>
<a id="usage"></a>
## Usage

**Note:** The parent of "scroll-view" must have a height. Also make sure that `html` has a height (typically set to `100%`).

<a name="handling-data"></a>
<a id="handling-data"></a>
### Handling data

Data can be provided:

* With `pageUrl` for referencing URLs
* With `pageData` for server requests

<a id="using-pageurl-for-referencing-urls"></a>
#### Using `pageUrl` for referencing URLs

An example using data files:

~~~javascript
import infinite from "mithril-infinite"

m(infinite, {
  maxPages: 16,
  pageUrl: pageNum => `data/page-${pageNum}.json`,
  item
})
~~~

With these options we are:

* limiting the number of pages to 16
* passing a function to generate a JSON data URL
* passing a function that should return a Mithril element

A simple item function:

~~~javascript
const item = (data, opts, index) => 
  m(".item", [
    m("h2", data.title),
    m("div", data.body)
  ])
~~~

The `item` function passes 3 parameters:

1. `data` contains the loaded data from `pageUrl`.
2. `opts` contains: `isScrolling: Bool`, `pageId: String`, `pageNum: Number`, `pageSize: Number`
3. `index`: the item index

<a id="data-file-structure"></a>
#### Data file structure

Data is handled per "results" page. You are free to use any data format.

You could use a JSON data object for each page, containing a list of items. For example:

~~~json
[
  {
    "src": "cat.jpg",
    "width": 500,
    "height": 375
  }
]
~~~

Or:

~~~json
[
  ["red", "#ff0000"],
]
~~~

<a id="using-pagedata-for-server-requests"></a>
#### Using `pageData` for server requests
 
In most real world situations an API server will provide the data. So while passing file URLs with `pageUrl` is a handy shortcut, we preferably use data requests.

<a id="with-mrequest"></a>
##### With m.request

~~~javascript
import infinite from "mithril-infinite"

const pageData = pageNum => 
  m.request({
    method: "GET",
    dataType: "jsonp",
    url: dataUrl(pageNum)
  })

m(infinite, {
  pageData,
  item
})
~~~

Demo tip: in the example "Grid" we use `jsonplaceholder.typicode.com` to fetch our images:

~~~javascript
const PAGE_ITEMS = 10

const dataUrl = pageNum =>
  `http://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/photos?_start=${(pageNum - 1) * PAGE_ITEMS}&_end=${pageNum * PAGE_ITEMS}`
~~~

<a id="with-async"></a>
##### With `async`

~~~javascript
import infinite from "mithril-infinite"

const asyncPageData = async function(pageNum) {
  try {
    const response = await fetch(dataUrl(pageNum))
    return response.json()
  } catch (ex) {
    //console.log('parsing failed', ex)
  }
}

m(infinite, {
  pageData: asyncPageData,
  item
})
~~~

<a id="returning-data-directly"></a>
##### Returning data directly

~~~javascript
import infinite from "mithril-infinite"

const returnData = () =>
  [{ /* some data */ }]

m(infinite, {
  pageData: returnData,
  item
})
~~~

<a id="returning-data-as-a-promise"></a>
##### Returning data as a Promise

~~~javascript
import infinite from "mithril-infinite"

const returnDelayedData = () =>
  new Promise(resolve =>
    setTimeout(() =>
      resolve(data)
    , 1000)
  )

m(infinite, {
  pageData: returnDelayedData,
  item
})
~~~

<a name="handling-dynamic-data"></a>
<a id="handling-dynamic-data"></a>
### Handling dynamic data

In situations where the Infinite component needs to show different items - for instance when filtering or sorting search results - we must provide a unique key for each page. The key will enable Mithril to properly distinguish the pages.

Use option `pageKey` to provide a function that returns a unique identifying string. For example:

~~~javascript
import infinite from "mithril-infinite"
import stream from "mithril/stream"

const query = stream("")

const Search = {
  view: () =>
    m("div", 
      m("input", {
        oninput: e => query(e.target.value),
        value: query()
      })
    )
}

const MyComponent = {
  view: () => {
    const queryStr = query()
    return m(infinite, {
      before: m(Search),
      pageKey: pageNum => `${pageNum}-${queryString}`,
      // other options
    })
  }
}
~~~

<a name="advanced-item-function-example"></a>
<a id="advanced-item-function-example"></a>
### Advanced item function example

To enhance the current loading behavior, we:

* Load images when they are visible in the viewport
* Stop loading images when the page is scrolling. This makes a big difference in performance, but it will not always result in a good user experience - the page will seem "dead" when during the scrolling. So use with consideration.

The `item` function can now look like this:

~~~javascript
const item = (data, opts) =>
  m("a.grid-item",
    m(".image-holder",
      m(".image", {
        oncreate: vnode => maybeShowImage(vnode, data, opts.isScrolling),
        onupdate: vnode => maybeShowImage(vnode, data, opts.isScrolling)
      })
    )
  )

// Don't load the image if the page is scrolling
const maybeShowImage = (vnode, data, isScrolling) => {
  if (isScrolling || vnode.state.inited) {
    return
  }
  // Only load the image when visible in the viewport
  if (infinite.isElementInViewport({ el: vnode.dom })) {
    showImage(vnode.dom, data.thumbnailUrl)
    vnode.state.inited = true
  }
el.style.backgroundImage = `url(${url})`
~~~

<a name="getting-the-total-page-count"></a>
<a id="getting-the-total-page-count"></a>
### Getting the total page count

How the total page count is delivered will differ per server. `jsonplaceholder.typicode.com` passes the info in the request header.

Example "Fixed" shows how to get the total page count from the request, and use that to calculate the total content height.

We place the `pageData` function in the `oninit` function so that we have easy access to the `state.pageCount` variable:

~~~javascript
const state = vnode.state
state.pageCount = 1

state.pageData = pageNum => 
  m.request({
    method: "GET",
    dataType: "jsonp",
    url: dataUrl(pageNum),
    extract: xhr => (
      // Read the total count from the header
      state.pageCount = Math.ceil(parseInt(xhr.getResponseHeader("X-Total-Count"), 10) / PAGE_ITEMS),
      JSON.parse(xhr.responseText)
    )
  })
~~~

Then pass `state.pageData` to `infinite`:

~~~javascript
m(infinite, {
  pageData: state.pageData,
  maxPages: state.pageCount,
  ...
})
~~~

<a name="using-images"></a>
<a id="using-images"></a>
### Using images

For a better loading experience (and data usage), images should be loaded only when they appear on the screen. To check if the image is in the viewport, you can use the function `infinite.isElementInViewport({ el })`. For example:

~~~javascript
if (infinite.isElementInViewport({ el: vnode.dom })) {
  loadImage(vnode.dom, data.thumbnailUrl)
}
~~~

Images should not be shown with the `<img/>` tag: while this works fine on desktop browsers, this causes redrawing glitches on iOS Safari. The solution is to use `background-image`. For example:

~~~javascript
el.style.backgroundImage = `url(${url})`
~~~

<a name="using-table-data"></a>
<a id="using-table-data"></a>
### Using table data

Using `<table>` tags causes reflow problems. Use divs instead, with CSS styling for table features. For example:

~~~css
.page {
  display: table;
  width: 100%;
}
.list-item {
  width: 100%;
  display: table-row;
}
.list-item > div {
  display: table-cell;
}
~~~

<a name="pagination"></a>
<a id="pagination"></a>
### Pagination

See the "Paging" example.

### Custom page wrapper

Use `processPageData` to either:

* Process content data before passing to `item`
* Wrap in a custom element wrapper
* Use a custom item function

Simple example with a wrapper:

```js
m(infinite, {
  processPageData: (content, options)  => {
    return m(".my-page", content.map((data, index) => item(data, options, index)));
  },
  ...
});
```

## Styling

Note: The parent of "scroll-view" must have a height. Also make sure that `html` has a height (typically set to `100%`).

Styles are added using [j2c](https://github.com/pygy/j2c). This library is also used in the examples.

| --------------------- | ------------- | --------------- |
| Scroll view           | scrollView    | `mithril-infinite__scroll-view` |
| Scroll content        | scrollContent | `mithril-infinite__scroll-content` |
| Content container     | content       | `mithril-infinite__content` |

<a id="fixed-scroll-and-overflow-anchor"></a>
### Fixed scroll and `overflow-anchor`

Some browsers use [overflow-anchor](https://css-tricks.com/almanac/properties/o/overflow-anchor/) to prevent content from jumping as the page loads more data above the viewport. This may conflict how Infinite inserts content in "placeholder slots".

To prevent miscalculations of content size, the "scroll content" element has style `overflow-anchor: none`.
