5 Javascript Infinite Scroll Examples

This collection explores modern JavaScript techniques for implementing infinite scroll, with a strong emphasis on the Intersection Observer API for high-performance viewport detection. This approach avoids the performance pitfalls of traditional scroll event listeners, ensuring a smooth user experience even on content-heavy pages. You’ll see practical examples of asynchronously fetching data using the Fetch API and dynamically appending new content to the DOM.

Experience a sophisticated “pinned” scrolling effect where a vertical scroll action drives a horizontal card carousel. GSAP’s pin: '.gallery' property freezes the component in the viewport, while ScrollTrigger’s onUpdate callback scrubs a GSAP timeline to animate the cards’ xPercent, scale, and opacity.

This infinitely scrolling image grid employs an IntersectionObserver with baton-passing observation to dynamically load content from the Pixabay API, creating cards through DOM manipulation as the user scrolls. JavaScript manages the paginated requests while CSS Grid provides responsive layout adaptation, with custom properties enabling seamless dark/light theme switching and clip-path animations.
