scroll-sync-react

Overview

We provide you with a React.Context.Provider (<ScrollSync/>) Component that you wrap your "context" with, and then wrap each of your scrollable elements with a scroll listner (<ScrollSyncNode/>) And see the magic happen

Note

I needed this type of functionality on a side project, so I researched and found this library https://github.com/okonet/react-scroll-sync

I have so much similarity with this library, but it's not maintained anymore, and uses the legacy context api, which introduced unexpected bugs, so I re-implemented it with the new context API and using react-hooks

codesandbox

A codesandbox that utilizes the latest of this package https://codesandbox.io/s/gallant-sky-joiou

Installation

npm i scroll-sync-react

Usage

import { ScrollSync, ScrollSyncNode } from './build';

const App = () =>
  <ScrollSync>
    <div style={{ display: 'flex', position: 'relative', height: 300 }}>
      <ScrollSyncNode group="a">
        <div style={{ overflow: 'auto' }}>
          <section style={{ height: 1000 }}>
            <h1>This is group `a`</h1>
            Scrollable things
          </section>
        </div>
      </ScrollSyncNode>
      <ScrollSyncNode group="a">
        <div style={{ overflow: 'auto' }}>
          <section style={{ height: 1000 }}>
            <h1>This is group `a`</h1>
            Scrollable things
          </section>
        </div>
      </ScrollSyncNode>
    </div>
  </ScrollSync>
