Angular 6 track scroll position of div within div












0















I am trying to create a directive that tracks the Y position of the element it is placed on - when this element reaches the top of the parent div, I will add sticky styling to make the header stick to the top until the whole element has been scrolled.



I have tried to track the scrolling, but can't get any output apart from the initial ngoninit log:



import { Directive, OnInit, ElementRef, HostBinding, HostListener } from '@angular/core';

@Directive({
/* tslint:disable-next-line:directive-selector */
selector: '[stickyHeaderDirective]'
})
export class StickyHeaderDirective implements OnInit {


ngOnInit() {
console.log('lets track ths scroll');
}

constructor() {}

@HostListener('scroll', ['$event']) private onScroll($event: Event): void {
console.log($event.srcElement.scrollLeft, $event.srcElement.scrollTop);
}
}


What am i missing?
