How to get infinite scroll to work?

I think we should rely on intersectionObserver instead of the onScroll event. I have put together an article on medium here explaining the performance gains of the two approaches

you only need vanilla js


Here is one infinite-scroll script of mine using JQuery which works:

Html: 

<html>
    <head>
    <title>Scroll Troll Page</title>
    <script src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-2.0.3.min.js"></script>
</head>
<body>
    <div id="scrollbox">
        <br />
        <br />
        <br />
        <br />
        <br />
        <br />
        <br />
        <br />
        <br />
        <br />
        <br />
        <br />
        <br />
        <br />
        <br />
        <br />
        <br />
        <br />
        <br />
    </div>
</body>


<script type="text/javascript">
    $(window).scroll(function () {
        //- 10 = desired pixel distance from the bottom of the page while scrolling)
        if ($(window).scrollTop() >= $(document).height() - $(window).height() - 10) {
        var box = $("#scrollbox");
    //Just append some content here
    box.html(box.html() + "<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />");
        }
});
</script>

in Line:

box.html(box.html + "Place content to expand here");

You can add the content that should be added to your container when reaching the bottom of the page while scrolling.
