scroll from bottom to top of container

[jakenewby]

First of all I'd like to say thank you for this component, it's great. That having been said, I found no documentation or hints in the example code about how to implement this in a bottom-up fashion. I'd like the scroll height of the container to start at the bottom, then load in more records as the user scrolls upward. Is this a supported feature, upcoming feature, or should I make my own implementation to achieve this?

👍 We need this as well. I imagine this would be a pretty common use case for chat type apps (e.g. Slack).

This is a little tricky because at the moment ReactList only handles indices 0 to n, but what you want is -n to n, where 0-n would be your initial set, newer data would be added after n and older data would be added at negative indices. It would be nice to support this use case, and with a bit of thought I don't think it would require too much of a code change.

It might make sense to introduce a pivot index that always starts at 0, but will increase as items are unshifted.

I would love that feature also!

scrolls both ways: https://github.com/dustingetz/react-chatview

Also, it implements scrolling in a neat way, using requestAnimationFrame()

+10 will this bottom up scrolling feature get supported? I use react-list for chat application web version, and try to figure out how to achieve it with react-list

Is there a good hack with this ? essp when streaming data and adding them, any way to reverse the items?

thanks

Did someone ever found a suitable work-around?
