Angular2 - Can't detect scrolling events

I'm trying to fix a div when scrolling down; for that, I began with the below code, I am facing some weird issue that prevents me from detecting the scrolling behavior. On the below code console.log('bigger than 50') does not get printed when scrolling down.

Any ideas why I can't detect the scroll event?

@Component({
templateUrl: 'outlet.html',
selector: "app-layout-nav"
})


export class place {


  constructor(@Inject(DOCUMENT) private document: Document) {}

  @HostListener("window:scroll", [])

  onWindowScroll() {
    let number = this.document.body.scrollTop;
    if (number > 50) {
    console.log('bigger than 50')
    this.navIsFixed = true;
   } else if (this.navIsFixed && number < 10) {
      console.log('lower than 50')
      this.navIsFixed = false;
    }
  }

}

Outlet.html

 <div>

 <div id="wrap" [class.fixed]="navIsFixed">
  This should be fixed when it reaches a certain level</div>

  <div>The rest of the long page should show here</div>

 </div>

this might help you to detect scroll events on an element or on window https://github.com/anasAsh/ngx-scroll-event

Install

  • With NPM npm install ngx-scroll-event --save

  • With Yarn yarn add ngx-scroll-event

Usage

Import ScrollEvent and add it to the imports array of your module.

// app.module.ts
import { ScrollEventModule } from 'ngx-scroll-event';

@NgModule({
  imports: [
    ...,
    ScrollEventModule,
    ...,
  ]
})
export class AppModule { }

In your template you may now add the detect-scroll attribute and (onScroll) event to any element. you can also add [bottomOffest] to change when reaching bottom is alert is true, defaults to 100, the value should be a number in pixels.

// app.awesome.component.ts

...
import { ScrollEvent } from 'ngx-scroll-event';
...

@Component({
   ...
   template: `...
        <div detect-scroll (onScroll)="handleScroll($event)" [bottomOffest]="200">
            <div>Bla bla bla</div>
            <div>Bla bla bla</div>
            <div>Bla bla bla</div>
            <div>Bla bla bla</div>
            <div>Bla bla bla</div>
            <div>Bla bla bla</div>
            <div>Bla bla bla</div>
            <div>Bla bla bla</div>
            <div>Bla bla bla</div>
        <div>
   ...`,
})
export class AwesomeComponent {
  public handleScroll(event: ScrollEvent) {
    console.log('scroll occurred', event.originalEvent);
    if (event.isReachingBottom) {
      console.log(`the user is reaching the bottom`);
    }
    if (event.isWindowEvent) {
      console.log(`This event is hapening on Window not on an element.`);
    }

  }
}

You can bind the scroll event to your container:

<div class="container" (scroll)="onScroll($event)">
  <div class="scrollable_content">
  </div>
</div>

Then, on your component:

onScroll(event){
  const scrollTop = event.path[0].scrollTop;
}
