I am trying to select some value preferably px
of how much I have scrolled down so I can conditionally hide the element.
Something like total height - scrolled height
would be ideal
Problem
I’m having trouble selecting the proper property.
console.log
doesn’t help as it renders the actual body tag then.
Here’s the code
const scrollHandler = (event) => { let scrollTop = event.srcElement.body.offsetHeight; console.log(scrollTop) setIsSearchVisible(false) } useEffect(() => { window.addEventListener('scroll', scrollHandler, true); return () => { window.removeEventListener('scroll', scrollHandler, true); } },[])
Would also appreciate it if someone could point me to the documentation of the same thanks!

Answer
I was able to figure it out , Instead of using the event object I simply used the window object, Something like this
const scrollHandler = (event) => { let scrollTop = window.scrollY; console.log(scrollTop); setIsSearchVisible(false); }; useEffect(() => { window.addEventListener("scroll", scrollHandler, true); return () => { window.removeEventListener("scroll", scrollHandler, true); }; }, []);
