Angular 4: Infinite scroll not working

Question

I have tried using ngx-infinite-scroll (https://www.npmjs.com/package/angular2-infinite-scroll) and also some other directives but none seem to work.

package.json

"dependencies": {
"@angular/animations": "^4.0.2",
"@angular/common": "^4.0.0",
"@angular/compiler": "^4.0.0",
"@angular/compiler-cli": "^4.0.2",
"@angular/core": "^4.0.0",
"@angular/forms": "^4.0.0",
"@angular/http": "^4.0.0",

"@angular/platform-server": "^4.0.2",
"@angular/router": "^4.0.0",
"absurd": "^0.3.8",

"metismenu": "^2.7.0",
"ng2-bs3-modal": "^0.10.4",
"ngx-infinite-scroll": "^0.5.1",
"rxjs": "^5.1.0"
}

user.component.html

<div class="row" infiniteScroll [infiniteScrollDistance]="0" 
  [infiniteScrollThrottle]="300" (scrolled)="loadMore()">
   <div class="col-md-3 col-sm-4" *ngFor="let user of userList">
     <span>{{user.name}} ({{user.email}})</span>
   </div>
</div>

user.module.ts

The import is done

import { InfiniteScrollModule } from 'ngx-infinite-scroll';

@NgModule({
  imports: [
    CommonModule,
    FormsModule,
    InfiniteScrollModule
  ],
  declarations: [UserComponent],
  providers: [],
  exports: [],
})
export class UserModule { }

user.component.ts

export class UserComponent {

  constructor() {}

  loadMore() {
    console.log('method begins');
  }
}

Tried using host listener as well but the scroll event just doesn't seem to occur. Has it got anything to do with the class i'm using on which the infinite scroll is applied?

Solution 1

Inside the document has mentioned about.

By default, the directive listens to the window scroll event and invoked the callback. To trigger the callback when the actual element is scrolled, these settings should be configured:

1. [scrollWindow]="false"
2. set an explict css "height" value to the element

Therefore, just put the height: 100% on your container and you will see the scrolled fired.

import { Component } from '@angular/core';

@Component({
    selector: 'app',
    styles: [
        `.search-results {
            height: 20rem;
            overflow: scroll;
        }`
    ],
    template: `
        <div class="search-results"
            infiniteScroll
            [infiniteScrollDistance]="2"
            [infiniteScrollThrottle]="500"
            (scrolled)="onScroll()"
            [scrollWindow]="false">
        </div>
    `
})
export class AppComponent {
    onScroll () {
        console.log('scrolled!!')
    }
}

Solution 2

       <div
         [infiniteScrollDistance]="2"
         [infiniteScrollUpDistance]="1.5"
         [infiniteScrollThrottle]="100"
         (scrolled)="onScrollDown()"
         [scrollWindow]="false"class="search-results">
       <div  *ngFor="let user of userList">
        <span>{{user.name}} ({{user.email}})</span>
       </div>
       </div>

.search-results{ height : 100% overflow-y: scroll; }

use above HTML code it works fine --ngx-infinite-scroll
