N Infinite Scroll

Naive UI Infinite Scroll Component

Infinite scroll component for implementing endless scrolling lists with automatic content loading.

When to Use

Use this component when:

• Infinite lists: Load more content as user scrolls
• Lazy loading: Implement progressive content loading
• Chat interfaces: Display message history with auto-loading
• Feed layouts: Social media style content feeds

When to Invoke

Invoke this skill when:

• User needs to implement infinite scrolling
• User wants to load content progressively on scroll
• User needs to detect when user reaches bottom of container
• User asks about implementing lazy loading lists

Features

• Auto Loading: Automatically triggers load when near bottom
• Custom Distance: Configurable distance threshold for loading
• Scrollbar Integration: Works with Naive UI Scrollbar
• Loading States: Support for loading indicators
• End Detection: Handle end of data gracefully

Basic Usage

Basic Infinite Scroll

<template>
  <n-infinite-scroll style="height: 240px" :distance="10" @load="handleLoad">
    <div v-for="i in count" :key="i" class="item">
      {{ i }}
    </div>
  </n-infinite-scroll>
</template>

<script setup>
import { ref } from 'vue'

const count = ref(10)

const handleLoad = async () => {
  await new Promise(resolve => setTimeout(resolve, 1000))
  count.value += 10
}
</script>

<style scoped>
.item {
  display: flex;
  align-items: center;
  height: 46px;
  justify-content: center;
  margin-bottom: 10px;
  background-color: rgba(0, 128, 0, 0.16);
}
</style>

With Loading and End States

<template>
  <n-infinite-scroll style="height: 240px" :distance="10" @load="handleLoad">
    <div v-for="(item, index) in items" :key="item.key" class="message">
      {{ item.content }}
    </div>
    <div v-if="loading" class="text">
      Loading...
    </div>
    <div v-if="noMore" class="text">
      No More Data
    </div>
  </n-infinite-scroll>
</template>

<script setup>
import { ref } from 'vue'

const items = ref([])
const loading = ref(false)
const noMore = ref(false)
let page = 1

const handleLoad = async () => {
  if (loading.value || noMore.value) return
  
  loading.value = true
  const newItems = await fetchData(page)
  
  if (newItems.length === 0) {
    noMore.value = true
  } else {
    items.value.push(...newItems)
    page++
  }
  
  loading.value = false
}
</script>

Common Patterns

Chat Messages

<template>
  <n-infinite-scroll style="height: 400px" :distance="10" @load="loadMessages">
    <div
      v-for="(message, index) in messages"
      :key="message.id"
      class="message"
      :class="{ reverse: message.isMine }"
    >
      <img class="avatar" :src="message.avatar" alt="">
      <span>{{ message.content }}</span>
    </div>
    <div v-if="loading" class="text">
      Loading messages...
    </div>
    <div v-if="noMoreMessages" class="text">
      No more messages
    </div>
  </n-infinite-scroll>
</template>

<script setup>
import { ref } from 'vue'

const messages = ref([])
const loading = ref(false)
const noMoreMessages = ref(false)

const loadMessages = async () => {
  if (loading.value || noMoreMessages.value) return
  
  loading.value = true
  const olderMessages = await fetchOlderMessages()
  
  if (olderMessages.length === 0) {
    noMoreMessages.value = true
  } else {
    messages.value = [...olderMessages, ...messages.value]
  }
  
  loading.value = false
}
</script>

<style scoped>
.message {
  display: flex;
  align-items: center;
  margin-bottom: 10px;
  padding: 10px;
}

.reverse {
  flex-direction: row-reverse;
}

.avatar {
  width: 28px;
  height: 28px;
  border-radius: 50%;
  margin: 0 10px;
}

.text {
  text-align: center;
  padding: 10px;
}
</style>

With Custom Scrollbar

<template>
  <n-infinite-scroll
    style="height: 300px"
    :distance="20"
    :scrollbar-props="{ trigger: 'hover', size: 8 }"
    @load="handleLoad"
  >
    <n-list bordered>
      <n-list-item v-for="item in items" :key="item.id">
        {{ item.title }}
      </n-list-item>
    </n-list>
  </n-infinite-scroll>
</template>

<script setup>
import { ref } from 'vue'

const items = ref([])

const handleLoad = async () => {
  const newItems = await fetchMoreItems()
  items.value.push(...newItems)
}
</script>

Feed with Cards

<template>
  <n-infinite-scroll style="height: 600px" :distance="50" @load="loadMore">
    <n-space vertical :size="16">
      <n-card v-for="post in posts" :key="post.id" :title="post.title">
        {{ post.content }}
      </n-card>
    </n-space>
    <template v-if="loading">
      <n-spin size="medium" />
    </template>
  </n-infinite-scroll>
</template>

<script setup>
import { ref } from 'vue'

const posts = ref([])
const loading = ref(false)
let page = 1

const loadMore = async () => {
  loading.value = true
  const newPosts = await fetchPosts(page)
  posts.value.push(...newPosts)
  page++
  loading.value = false
}
</script>

Data Table with Infinite Scroll

<template>
  <n-infinite-scroll style="height: 400px" @load="loadMoreRows">
    <n-data-table :columns="columns" :data="tableData" />
  </n-infinite-scroll>
</template>

<script setup>
import { ref } from 'vue'

const columns = [
  { title: 'Name', key: 'name' },
  { title: 'Age', key: 'age' },
  { title: 'Address', key: 'address' }
]

const tableData = ref([])

const loadMoreRows = async () => {
  const newRows = await fetchMoreData()
  tableData.value.push(...newRows)
}
</script>

Best Practices

1. Set explicit height: Always set a fixed height on the scroll container

   <n-infinite-scroll style="height: 400px" @load="handleLoad">
   

2. Handle loading state: Prevent multiple simultaneous load calls

   const handleLoad = async () => {
     if (loading.value) return
     loading.value = true
     // ... load data
     loading.value = false
   }
   

3. Implement end detection: Show users when all data is loaded

   <div v-if="noMore">No more data</div>
   

4. Use appropriate distance: Adjust distance based on item size

   <n-infinite-scroll :distance="50" /> <!-- Larger items -->
   <n-infinite-scroll :distance="10" /> <!-- Smaller items -->
   

5. Add loading indicators: Provide visual feedback during loading

   <n-spin v-if="loading" />
   

6. Handle errors gracefully: Implement error handling for failed loads

   const handleLoad = async () => {
     try {
       const data = await fetchData()
       items.value.push(...data)
     } catch (error) {
       message.error('Failed to load data')
     }
   }
