react-scrollbouncefix

react-bouncefix

A ReactJS component which stops elastic bouncing from moving the entire page(body) when scrollable element has reached the extremes.

Credit

This is a ReactJS implementation of @jaridmargolin's bouncefix.js

Why?

IOS (since IOS 5) offers native touch scrolling within nested containers via -webkit-overflow-scrolling: touch;, however, if scrolling occurs at one of the extremes, top or bottom, the elastic bounce occurs on the page rather than the nested container. bouncefix.js offers a viable solution to fix this issue. react-bouncefix is a reuseable component for ReactJS based applications

note: If there is no content to scroll, scrolling is blocked on the container. This may cause issues if attempting to implement a scroll to refresh feature. This can be overcome creating a wrapper inside of your container and setting the height to 100% with a top and bottom padding of 1px (Not perfect, hackish, but it works)

Install

npm install react-bouncefix
