Hi nice people of the Internet,
I created a listener for the scroll position of the user:
<svelte:window bind:scrollY={y} />
I would like to save this variable in a store, to make it accessible throughout the website. But for that I would need a setter. Is there a good performant way to do this?
I tried this, but it does not work:
$: () => scrollPos.set(y);
$: console.log("LOG: scrollPos", $scrollPos);```
You should be able to just bind directly to a store value:
<script>
import { writable } from 'svelte/store';
const y = writable(0);
</script>
<svelte:window bind:scrollY={$y}/>
Unfortunately it turns out you've found a bug — that doesn't currently work, for whatever reason. I've opened an issue here: https://github.com/sveltejs/svelte/issues/3832
Here's the code:
<script>
import { y } from './store.js';
import LogScrollPosition from './LogScrollPosition.svelte';
let scrollY;
$: y.set(scrollY);
</script>
<button on:click={() => scrollY = 200}>
Go down
</button>

<svelte:window bind:scrollY={scrollY} />
Essentially you were close, but don't make the function reactive with $: () => .... Just do $: scrollPos.set(y).
Here's an example REPL.
Reactive statements will be re-evaluated when the values they depend on change, so you could just make scrollPos.set(y) reactive and it will work as expected.
Example (REPL)
<svelte:window bind:scrollY={y} />
<script>
import { writable } from 'svelte/store';
let y;
const scrollPos = writable(0);
$: scrollPos.set(y);
</script>
<div style="height:1000px;">
<h1 style="margin-top:200px;">{$scrollPos}</h1>
</div>
element.scrollIntoView with behavior set to smooth is not working as I expect in Chrome. When it is used only on one element in a callstack, it works fine. But if it is used on multiple elements, only the last element will actually scroll.
This works fine in Firefox. Is there a workaround for this in Chrome?
const $ = (s) => document.querySelector(s)
const $$ = (s) => document.querySelectorAll(s)
const container = $(".container")
for (let i = 0; i < 2; i++) {
document.body.appendChild(container.cloneNode(true))
}
function scrollIntoView(behavior) {
for (const element of $$(".reveal")) {
element.scrollIntoView({
behavior,
block: "end"
})
}
}
$(".instant").addEventListener("click", () => scrollIntoView("instant"))
$(".smooth").addEventListener("click", () => scrollIntoView("smooth"))
$(".reset").addEventListener("click", () => {
for (const element of $$(".container")) {
element.scrollTo(0, 0)
}
})
.container {
max-height: calc(33vh - 12px);

As per this draft at drafts.csswg.org, it is not possible to use the smooth function for scrolling multiple elements simultaneously;
When a user agent is to perform a scroll of a scrolling box box, to a given position position, an associated element element and optionally a scroll behavior behavior (which is "auto" if omitted), the following steps must be run:
Abort any ongoing smooth scroll for box.
If the user agent honors the scroll-behavior property and one of the following are true:
behavior is "auto" and element is not null and its computed value of the scroll-behavior property is smooth
behavior is smooth
...then perform a smooth scroll of box to position. Otherwise, perform an instant scroll of box to position.
Your options are:
Scroll the elements one by one using the native smooth function.
Use different API or library to animate the elements.
Functionally design the thing differently, so they don't need to scroll simultaneously.
I want to get the text selected and also the DOM element along with where the ending of the text selection offset was in the webpage some seconds after the selection completed.
So like you highlight some text and if in 3 seconds that text is still highlighted, then I want to run some code that has as parameters the highlighted text and the DOM element that was nearest ancestor of the text.
I found there is this selectstart event,
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Document/selectstart_event
and also the selectionchange event but I don't see a selectend event.
Some ideas were along these lines:
document.addEventListener('selectionchange', () => {
// if (Math.abs(Date.now().getTime() - process_request_start.getTime()) / 1000 <= 5
// if (is_processing_request === true) {
// return;
// }
setTimeout(() => {
if (is_processing_request === true) {
return;
} else {
is_processing_request = true;
console.log(document.getSelection());
is_processing_request = false;
}
}, 5000);
});
So I am looking for elegant code examples that provide/emulate a selectend, I had some working ideas using setTimeout but looking for any other solutions, prefer working code and not assuming any Jquery/libs, just native DOM environment.
For this particular problem, clearTimeout is your friend! You just cancel the timeouts until the time has elapsed (I shortened it to 2 seconds for this example):
let waiting = null;
document.addEventListener('selectionchange', () => {
if (waiting) clearTimeout(waiting);
waiting = setTimeout(() => {
console.log(document.getSelection().toString());
waiting = null;
}, 2000);
});

I want to use Lodash's throttle to have fewer function invokes on scroll. My code is as follows:
window.addEventListener('scroll', _.throttle(() => { console.log('bam'); }), 1000);
Unfortunately, this doesn't work - I am getting bam-ed all the time, and not every one secound.
What can I do?
CodePen: http://codepen.io/tomekbuszewski/pen/oxeOXy?editors=1111
The _.throttle function should only be generated once and not every time the event fires
var callback = _.throttle(() => { console.log('bam')}, 10000);
window.addEventListener('scroll', callback);
div {
height : 100px
}
div > div {
height : 1000px
}
<script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/lodash/4.6.1/lodash.min.js"></script>
<div>
<div></div>
</div>
the console.log("bam") called once every 10 sec
There is a mistake in your code
window.addEventListener('scroll', _.throttle(() => { console.log('bam'); }, 1000));
var f = function() {
console.log("bam");
}
window.addEventListener('scroll', _.throttle(f, 1000));
Simple, Efficient, And Low-Overhead Soution
You do not need lodash for a decent throttle function. The purpose of a throttle function is to reduce browser resources, not to apply so much overhead that you are using even more. Also, my different uses for throttle functions require many different circumstances for them. Here is my list of things that a 'good' throttle function needs that this one has.
Minimal overhead.
Immediate function call if it has been more than interval MS since the last call.
Avoiding executing function for another interval MS.
Delaying excessive event firing instead of dropping the event altogether.
Updates the delayed event when need be so that it doesn't become 'stale'.
Prevents the default action of the event when the throttled function is delayed.
Be able to remove the throttle event listener listener.
And, I believe that the following throttle function satisfies all of those.
function throttle(func, alternateFunc, minimumInterval) {
var executeImmediately = true, freshEvt = null;
return function(Evt) {
if (executeImmediately) { // Execute immediatly
executeImmediately = false;
setTimeout(function(f){ // handle further calls
executeImmediately = true;
if (freshEvt !== null) func( freshEvt );
freshEvt = null;
}, minimumInterval);
return func( Evt );
} else { // Delayed execute
freshEvt = Evt;
if (typeof alternateFunc === "function") alternateFunc( Evt );
}
};
}
N.B.: removeEventListener can only remove the exact function passed to addEventListener. If you sent a wrapped function to addEventListener, then removeEventListener requires this same wrapped function, not the original function. Thus, the following does not work.
function clickFunctor(){ /*...*/ }
// This code throttles clickFunctor to 500ms
var throttledFunctor = throttle(clickFunctor, null, 500); // WORKS
addEventListener("click", throttledFunctor, false); // WORKS
// ONLY this removeEventListener works
removeEventListener("click", throttledFunctor, false); // WORKS
// For example, this removeEventListener does not work
removeEventListener("click", throttle(clickFunctor, null, 500), false); // FAILS
// This removeEventListener also does not work
removeEventListener("click", clickFunctor, false); // FAILS
If you need wrappers around addEventListener and removeEventListener so that they work properly, then you can use the functions below.
var tfCache = []; // throttled functions cache
function listen(source, eventName, func, _opts){
var i = 0, Len = tfCache.length, cF = null, options = _opts || {};
a: {
for (; i < Len; i += 4)
if (tfCache[i] === func &&
tfCache[i+1] === (options.ALTERNATE||null) &&
tfCache[i+2] === (options.INTERVAL||200)
) break a;
cF = throttle(func, options.ALTERNATE||null, options.INTERVAL||200);
tfCache.push(func, options.ALTERNATE||null, options.INTERVAL||200, cF);
}
source.addEventListener(eventName, cF || tfCache[i+3], _opts);
return cF === null; // return whether it used the cache or not
};
function mute(source, eventName, func, _opts){
var options = _opts || {};
for (var i = 0, Len = tfCache.length; i < Len; i += 4)
if (tfCache[i] === func &&
tfCache[i+1] === (options.ALTERNATE||null) &&
tfCache[i+2] === (options.INTERVAL||200)
) {
source.removeEventListener(eventName, tfCache[i+3], options);
return true;
}
return false;
}
listen and mute will work for any event on any instance that inherits from EventTarget, such as an Element's blur/focus, 'click' on the window, XMLHttpRequest's onprogress, FileReader's onprogress, [etc.].
Example usage:
var docElement = document.firstElementChild;
docElement.style.transition = "background .667s linear";
function whenTheDocumentScrolls() {
var scrollTop = docElement.scrollTop || -docElement.getBoundingClientRect().top;
var bgColor = "#fff";

else if (scrollTop < 7200) bgColor = "#68f";
else if (scrollTop < 9200) bgColor = "#3fb";
docElement.style.backgroundColor = bgColor;
}
whenTheDocumentScrolls(); // Compute the background color right now
var scrollListenerOptions = {
passive: true,
capture: false,
// ALTERNATE: function(){ /*...*/ },
INTERVAL: 500 // check at most twice a second
};
function throttle(func, alternateFunc, minimumInterval) {

if (executeImmediately) { // Execute immediatly
executeImmediately = false;
setTimeout(function(f){ // handle further calls
executeImmediately = true;
if (freshEvt !== null) func( freshEvt );
freshEvt = null;
}, minimumInterval);
return func( Evt );
} else { // Delayed execute
freshEvt = Evt;
if (typeof alternateFunc === "function") alternateFunc( Evt );
}
};
}
var tfCache = []; // throttled functions cache

Unfortunately, Stackoverflow disables code snippets on poorly misjudged and underappreciated answers, so here is a jsfiddle link to run the code instead.
Try scrolling down through the page in the demo and observing how the background color changes as you scroll. Try using your cursor to move the scrollbar up and down rapidly to see if you can get it to break and fail to update the colors. It will not break because this is a sturdy solid throttling function. Once you find a color that you like, click the "Remove the scroll listener" button in order to stop changing colors.
Although changing the background color with scrolling is a bit impractical (on a real website, it would simply distract the user from the content), I hope that this demonstration serves to show how powerful a good throttle function can be in terms of performance and fluid user experience.

Granted, the reason for why it is so big is because of all of the comments. Thus, let us compare the minified sizes:

But, what if we took all of that functionality in Lodash, stripped out the .cancel method (replacing it with mute/listen), made the leading options no longer an option, instead always true, and removed all of the fuss over typecasting under the assumption that you are conscious of which types you are using? The result is a radically debloated, much more performance, and just as useable throttling function that is my solution. Further, if you have special needs for a throttling function, then my solution is easily extendable with an optional 2nd parameter that defines a function to be called when an invocation to the main throttled function is dropped due to throttling.
// My implementation: 170 bytes (+GZip => 143 bytes);
// 5 suspended variables per throttle
function throttle(d,e,f){var c=!0,a=null;return function(b){if(c)return c=!1,setTimeout(function(b){c=!0;null!==a&&d(a);a=null},f),d(b);a=b;"function"===typeof e&&e(b)}};
The listen/mute are extra convenience methods that keep track of the throttle reference for you so that you do not have to. The minified Lodash code does not include these extra convenience, so why should my code have to be compared with conveniences to Lodash which is without conveniences? Thus, my above code snippet only represents my throttler without the listen/mute convenience methods.
Thus, I rest my case that my implementation is comparable to Lodash in functionality and far superior to Lodash in size and performa
