dom-autoscroller
Install
npm install --save dom-autoscroller
Usage
This example uses link-css, and dragula.
require('link-css')('../node_modules/dragula/dist/dragula.min.css');
var dragula = require('dragula'),
autoScroll = require('dom-autoscroller');
var drake = dragula([document.querySelector('#list'), document.querySelector('#hlist')]);
var scroll = autoScroll([
document.querySelector('#list-container'),
document.querySelector('#container2')
],{
margin: 20,
pixels: 5,
autoScroll: function(){
return this.down && drake.dragging;
}
});
Keep In Mind
dom-autoscroller
exploits the simplicity of the single parent, to child relationship. A scrolling element with more than one children will likely not work well with dom-autoscroller
.
For clarity here is a more complete example:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>Drag test</title>
<style>
#list-container{
height: 100px;
overflow-y: auto;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<div id="list-container">
<ol id="list" type="1">
<li>zero</li>
<li>one</li>
<li>two</li>
<li>three</li>
<li>four</li>
<li>five</li>
<li>six</li>
<li>seven</li>
<li>eight</li>
<li>nine</li>
<li>ten</li>
<li>eleven</li>
<li>twelve</li>
<li>thirteen</li>
<li>fourteen</li>
<li>fifteen</li>
</ol>
</div>
<div id="container2">
<ol id="hlist">
<li>zero</li>
<li>one</li>
<li>two</li>
<li>three</li>
<li>four</li>
<li>five</li>
<li>six</li>
<li>seven</li>
<li>eight</li>
<li>nine</li>
<li>ten</li>
<li>11</li>
<li>12</li>
<li>13</li>
<li>14</li>
<li>15</li>
</ol>
</div>
<script>
require('link-css')('../node_modules/dragula/dist/dragula.min.css');
var dragula = require('dragula'),
papyri = require('dom-autoscroller');
var drake = dragula([document.querySelector('#list'), document.querySelector('#hlist')]);
var scroll = autoScroll([
document.querySelector('#list-container'),
document.querySelector('#container2')
],{
margin: 20,
pixels: 5,
autoScroll: function(){
return this.down && drake.dragging;
}
});
</script>
</body>
</html>
If you look at the last example notice the containers have only one child, and that they're different from the containers used by dragula. In theory multiple children could work with dom-autoscroller
, but the children scrolling might interfere with the workings of the library dragula.
Auto Scroller API
autoScroll(element|elements, options) -> instance
Create an auto scroller on an element, or and array of elements.
