Reveal navbar on scroll

Intro and Motivation
After I watched that, I thought of recreating it and here I'm showing it to you all.
Let's Start
I'm sure you can write some markup and a lots of the lorem text. So we'll jump right to my javascript logic.
The pre-requisites
  • window.pageYOffset : It basically returns the position of scrollbar. Check out More on pageYOffset
  • Basic JavaScript
  • Basic Logical Resoning
  • Some time
  • The Logic
    When the user scroll's down the navbar must hide itself and when the user starts to scroll up it must reveal itself back.
    So let us have some variables,
  • lastScroll - Stores the just previous scroll position
  • currentScroll - Stores the currenrt scroll position
  • If differnce between currentScroll and lastScroll is positive, it means that user has -- SCROLLED DOWN -- and therefore we will hide the navbar.
    Similarly, If differnce between currentScroll and lastScroll is negative, it means that user has -- SCROLLED UP -- and therefore we will reveal the navbar
    We will also need some css classes to help us perform the magic,
  • .scroll-up - what happens after user scrolls up
  • .scroll-down - what happens after user scrolls down
  • .scroll-up
    header.scroll-up{
        transform: translateY(0);
    }
    .scroll-down
    header.scroll-down{
        transform: translateY(-100%);
    }
    The Code
    You can also find the code on GitHub

    After words
    Do tell me your thoughts on this and I welcome all type of criticism (I don't know the spelling) which would help me become a better developer after all.
    Also, a BIG thanks to our developer community for always helping and encouraging everyone around.
    I hope you wait for my next article..
