# Alloy *Infinite Scroll* widget
[](http://gitt.io/component/nl.fokkezb.infiniteScroll) [](https://github.com/Topener)
I've taken this widget into my management. Many thanks to [Fokke Zandbergen](https://github.com/fokkezb) for creating and maintaining it for all this time.
The *Infinite Scroll* widget implements the design pattern also known as *Dynamic Scroll* or *Endless Scroll* for TableViews and ListViews in the [Alloy](http://docs.appcelerator.com/titanium/latest/#!/guide/Alloy_Quick_Start) MVC framework for [Titanium](http://www.appcelerator.com/platform) by [Appcelerator](http://www.appcelerator.com). A Titanium Classic implementation can be found in the [KitchenSink](https://github.com/appcelerator/KitchenSink/blob/master/Resources/ui/handheld/ios/baseui/table_view_dynamic_scroll.js).
Also take a look at my [Pull to Refresh](https://github.com/FokkeZB/nl.fokkezb.pullToRefresh) widget.
## Overview
The widget automatically shows an *ActivityIndicator* in a *TableView* or *ListView*'s *FooterView* when the user reached the end of the table. An event is triggered so that the implementing controller can load more rows.
## Features
* Add the widget to your *TableView* or *ListView* using just one line of code.
* Override all styling via your app's `app.tss`.
* Manually trigger the widget from your controller.
## Quick Start
### Get it [](http://gitt.io/component/nl.fokkezb.infiniteScroll)
Download this repository and consult the [Alloy Documentation](http://docs.appcelerator.com/titanium/latest/#!/guide/Alloy_XML_Markup-section-35621528_AlloyXMLMarkup-ImportingWidgets) on how to install it, or simply use the [gitTio CLI](http://gitt.io/cli):
`$ gittio install nl.fokkezb.infiniteScroll`
### Use it
* Add the widget to your *TableView*:
```xml
```
or *ListView*:
```xml
```
* Since Alloy 1.3.0 you have to manually bind the parent from the controller:
```
$.is.init($.list);
```
* In the callback set via `myLoader` you call either `e.success()`, `e.error()` or `e.done()` optionally passing a custom message.
```javascript
// NOTE: do not use: var myLoader = function(e) {
function myLoader(e) {
var ln = myCollection.models.length;
myCollection.fetch({
// whatever your sync adapter needs to fetch the next page
data: { offset: ln },
// don't reset the collection, but add to it
add: true,
success: function (col) {
// call done() when we received last page - else success()
(col.models.length === ln) ? e.done() : e.success();
},
// call error() when fetch fails
error: function(col) {
// pass optional error message to display
e.error(L('isError', 'Tap to try again...'));
}
});
}
```
Please note that in the example above I use `col.models.length` instead of `col.length`. There is a flaw in Backbone that will cause unpredictable lengths when more then 1 sync is performed at the same time.
* To do the initial fetch call `$.is.load()`. If you add/remove items via other ways then the widget and you're using a *ListView* then call `$.is.mark()` after that!
## Styling
The widget can be fully styled without touching the widget source. For Alloy 1.4 and later use the classnames below in your theme's `app/themes/your-theme/widgets/nl.fokkezb.infiniteScroll/styles/widget.tss`. For Alloy 1.3 and earlier use the ID's in your app's `app.tss` to override the default style, which is set on the classes.
| class/ID | Description |
| --------- | ------- |
| `is` | The view to be added as *FooterView* |
| `isCenter` | Can be used to align the content, but mainly to support iOS7's `Ti.UI.Window.extendEdges` by setting `bottom` to the height of the TabGroup (49). |
| `isIndicator` | The *ActivityIndicator* showing during load |
| `isText` | The message shown when not loading. Set `visible` to `false` if you want to hide the text until the first load has happened. |
## Options
There are no required options to pass via TSS properties or XML attributes, apart from the `onEnd` attribute to bind your callback to the end-event. You can change the displayed messages by using the following options:
| Parameter | Type | Default |
| --------- | ---- | ----------- |
| msgTap | `string` | Tap to load more... |
| msgDone | `string` | No more to load... |
| msgError | `string` | Tap to try again... |
## Methods
You can also manually trigger the loading state of the widget. You could use this for the first load when your window opens.
| Function | Parameters | Usage |
| ---------- | ---------- | ----- |
| setOptions | `object` | Set any of the options
| load | | Manually trigger the `end` event and loading state
| state | `state`, `string` | Manually set the state. The first argument should be one of the exported `SUCCESS`, `DONE` and `ERROR` constants. The second optional argument is a custom message to display instead of the message belonging to the state.
| detach | | Manually set the `DONE` state and remove the scroll listener
| cleanup | | Detach and then unset the `footerView`
| init | `Ti.UI.TableView`, `Ti.UI.ListView` | Manually init the widget if it's the child element of the *TableView* or *ListView*, or to work around [TC-3417](https://jira.appcelerator.org/browse/TC-3417) in Alloy 1.3.0 and later.
| mark | | If add/remove items from the *ListView* via other ways then the widget call `mark()` so the widget is triggered on the last item.
## Testing
There is a test app and instructions in the [test](https://github.com/FokkeZB/nl.fokkezb.infiniteScroll/tree/test) branch.
