lazy-scroll

A web component based on iOS's UITableView.

Why

If you have a huge list, or just want to keep your resource consumption low.

How

The idea is to load items that are about to scroll into view on demand, and to unload items that are no longer visible.

Example

index.html

<my-scroller></my-scroller>

index.js

var LazyScroll = require('lazy-scroll')

var MyScroller = {
  prototype: Object.create(LazyScroll.prototype)
}

MyScroller.prototype.createdCallback = function () {
  LazyScroll.prototype.createdCallback.call(this)
  this.direction = 'vertical' // vertical|horizontal
  this.itemCount = 100        // the number of items in your list
  this.itemSize = 50          // the size of each item
  this.overflow = 0           // the number of items to buffer offscreen
  this.update()
}

MyScroller.prototype.itemAtIndex = function (index) {
  var item = document.createElement('DIV')
  item.textContent = index
  return item
}

document.registerElement('my-scroller', MyScroller)

Releases

• 2.x
  • Most browsers have figured out how to deal with pointer-events by now, so just emit scroll{start,end} events instead of disabling them explicitly.
