2 React Infinite Scroll Examples
This collection is your complete guide to creating infinite scroll in React. It covers both the fundamental approach using custom hooks and the modern, performant implementation with Intersection Observer API for end-of-list detection. Asynchronous data fetching logic and isLoading state management are key elements. For rapid development, examples with the popular react-infinite-scroll-component library are also featured, allowing for declarative control over the process.
Examples
Bi-Directional Infinite Scrolling Tag Cloud
This typographic dashboard component showcases multiple rows of infinitely scrolling keyword tags. By combining React with custom CSS keyframes and variables, the script randomizes the scroll speed and flips the direction of alternating rows. A linear gradient mask overlay wraps the container boundaries to create a smooth, feathered blending fade. (Requires: react.js, react-dom.js)

React Infinite Scrolling with IntersectionObserver
An infinite scroll gallery built with React, fetching images from the Unsplash API. It leverages the native Intersection Observer API via a useCallback ref to detect when the user reaches the bottom of the grid, automatically triggering the next page fetch and state update for a seamless browsing experience.
