| Drupal Development | 5 seen

As you might guess from the title already, in today's Drupal tutorial I will write about how to configure infinite scroll/load more button for Drupal 8 website. The best - both behaviors can be achieved using just one module - Views Infinite Scroll

Check out following tutorials for Drupal 7: Drupal masonry front pageViews lode more pager with Ajax for Drupal

And again, as in the previous tutorials, you can find a live preview on Tourgeorgia.eu

  • Download and enable Views Infinite Scroll module
  • Visit views page, you would like to attach infinite scroll or load more function
  • Change Pager: Infinite scroll, I will use 10 items to load on default

Now in order to make it work with Ajax, let's turn on Ajax:

  • Under Advanced - > Other: Use AJAX: Yes

Almost there, but here are few things we should fine tune here

Settings for Infinite Scroll

Under Pager (use pager) click on Infinite Scroll Options and check next to the Automatically load Content

Settings for Load more 

Repeat the same steps as for infinite scroll, just make sure to uncheck Automatically load Content

CSS bug wit custom views-row classes (first, last) in Drupal 8

Seems there is a bug with Drupal 8 views, when trying to render classes for views-row. There exist some workarounds, but right I find them secondary and I'm ready to wait until it will be solved with next views updates.
