support multiple directions about ember-infinity

[albertovasquez]

This request is a nice one .. basically to have infinityLoader accept either next page and append to model or previous page and prepend to model.

I'm doing something similar to OP. In which we keep page in query params. So on a refresh it will start with the proper page on the route model hook. And we know when we reach top of scroll so we want to fetch and scroll to page -1. Infinite scroll functionality shouldn't be a forward only limitation.

Thanks for the great addon.

This sounds a lot more like pagination than infinite scroll.

However, you could use the infinityLoader component to do this - but send actions to be caught be the pagination route instead. infinityLoader allows you to pass in the action name that it fires when it's in view, so you could just fire an action to the pagination route instead of infinityLoad.

Let me know if this doesn't properly answer your Question!

For people who want this functionality out of a component, I recommend looking at https://github.com/runspired/smoke-and-mirrors which is a more scalable scroll view and is direction-agnostic - supports loading in the front or end of the list, and even loading 2d grids.

Yes @davidgoli the funny thing is I'm using both together as I love the mixin used with ember-infinity
