SWR Infinite Scroll

An easier way to useSWRInfinite

SWR provides an amazing way to manage paged data through useSWRInfinite. But it's not as intuitive when it comes to implementing infinite scroll itself. react-swr-infinite-scroll attempts to solve this by implementing it for you. Using the IntersectionObserver API, it detects whether the viewport has reached the end of the list view to decide if the data has to be reloaded.

Demo

Visit the demo storybook here.

Features

• Seamless useSWRInfinite integration
• Awesome TypeScript completion
• InfiniteScroll (of course)
• Horizontal InfiniteScroll
• Customizable loading & ending indicator
• Customizable triggering behavior (offset)

Installation

yarn add react-swr-infinite-scroll

or

npm install --save react-swr-infinite-scroll

Usage

tldr; You will still useSWRInfinite, while the state management is done by the InfiniteScroll component in the render

What you'll need to implement/know:

• Some way to load paged data
• Some way to load the next paged data
• Some way to detect that the paged data is reaching its end
• Some way to render the list of paged data

const Component: React.FC = () => {
    const swr = useSWRInfinite(/* implement SWR here*/)
    return <InfiniteScroll
                swr={swr}
                loadingIndicator="Loading..."
                isReachingEnd={/* implement ending detection here */}>
        {response => /* implement render here */}
    </InfiniteScroll>
}

Props

type Props<T> = {
  swr: SWRInfiniteResponse<T>;
  children: React.ReactChild | ((item: T) => React.ReactNode);
  loadingIndicator?: React.ReactNode;
  endingIndicator?: React.ReactNode;
  isReachingEnd: boolean | ((swr: SWRInfiniteResponse<T>) => boolean);
  offset?: number;
};

• swr: pass your useSWRInfinite hook here
• children: could either be a regular react child that uses the data from the original swr object itself, or a function that renders the list items passed from the InfiniteScroll component
• isReachingEnd: A function / boolean value to tell if the list is reaching its end (see examples for a better idea of how isReachingEnd should be implemented)
• (optional) loadingIndicator: A react node to be displayed when the list is loading
• (optional) endingIndicator: A react node to be displayed when the list is reaching its end
• (optional) offset
  • if set to a positive value, the reload trigger will be called when the end of the list is behind the viewport
  • if set to a negative value, the reload trigger will be called when the end of the list is ahead of the viewport

Examples

GitHub Issues

Borrowed from this example by SWR

const PAGE_SIZE = 5;

export const GitHub: React.FC = () => {

  const swr = useSWRInfinite(
    (index, prev) =>
      `https://api.github.com/repos/reactjs/react-a11y/issues?per_page=${PAGE_SIZE}&page=${
        index + 1
      }`,
    {
      fetcher: async (key) => fetch(key).then((res) => res.json()),
    }
  );

  return (
      <div style={{ maxWidth: '400px'}}>
        <InfiniteScroll
          swr={swr}
          loadingIndicator="Loading..."
          endingIndicator="No more issues! 🎉"
          isReachingEnd={(swr) =>
            swr.data?.[0]?.length === 0 || swr.data?.[swr.data?.length - 1]?.length < PAGE_SIZE
          }
        >
          {(response) =>
            response?.map((issue) => (
              <div
                key={issue.id}
                style={{
                  padding: '20px',
                  borderRadius: '8px',
                  border: 'solid #ccc 1px',
                  margin: '20px auto',
                }}
              >
                <div style={{ fontWeight: 700 }}>{issue.title}</div>
                <div style={{ color: '#aaa', marginTop: '8px' }}>
                  {issue.user.login} • {new Date(issue.created_at).toDateString()}
                </div>
              </div>
            ))
          }
        </InfiniteScroll>
    </div>
  );
};
