using

The InfiniteScroll component can be used in two ways.

• Without giving any height to your scrollable content. In which case the scroll will happen at document.body like Facebook's timeline scroll.
• If you want your scrollable content to have a definite height then your content will be scrollable with the height specified in the props.

  <InfiniteScroll
    next={functionToLoadNextData}
    hasMore={true}
    loader={<h4>Loading...</h4>}>
    {items} // your long array goes in here
  </InfiniteScroll>

• Pull Down to Refresh support added.

<InfiniteScroll
    pullDownToRefresh // to enable the feature
    pullDownToRefreshContent={<h3 style={{textAlign: 'center'}}>&#8595; Pull down to refresh</h3>}
    releaseToRefreshContent={<h3 style={{textAlign: 'center'}}>&#8593; Release to refresh</h3>}
    refreshFunction={this.refresh} // function which will be called, this should send the refreshed children down
    // rest of the usual props
    next={this.generateDivs}
    hasMore={true}
    loader={<h4>Loading...</h4>}>
    {this.state.divs}
  </InfiniteScroll>

props

name	type	description
next	function	a function which must be called after reaching the bottom. It must trigger some sort of action which fetches the next data. The data is passed as children to the InfiniteScroll component and the data should contain previous items too. e.g. Initial data = [1, 2, 3] and then next load of data should be [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6].
hasMore	boolean	it tells the InfiniteScroll component on whether to call next function on reaching the bottom and shows an endMessage to the user
children	node (list)	the data items which you need to scroll.
loader	node	you can send a loader component to show while the component waits for the next load of data. e.g. <h3>Loading...</h3> or any fancy loader element
scrollThreshold	number	a threshold value after that the InfiniteScroll will call next. By default it's 0.8. It means the next will be called when the user comes below 80% of the total height.
endMessage	node	this message is shown to the user when he has seen all the records which means he's at the bottom and hasMore is false
style	object	any style which you want to override
height	number	optional, give only if you want to have a fixed height scrolling content
hasChildren	bool	children is by default assumed to be of type array and it's length is used to determine if loader needs to be shown or not, if your children is not an array, specify this prop to tell if your items are 0 or more.
pullDownToRefresh	bool	to enable Pull Down to Refresh feature
pullDownToRefreshContent	node	any JSX that you want to show the user, default={<h3>Pull down to refresh</h3>}
releaseToRefreshContent	node	any JSX that you want to show the user, default={<h3>Release to refresh</h3>}
pullDownToRefreshThreshold	number	minimum distance the user needs to pull down to trigger the refresh, default=100px
refreshFunction	function	this function will be called, it should return the fresh data that you want to show the user
