Automatically scroll the container

[rraziel]

Hello,

This module works great, however a really nice feature would be the ability for the drag selection to scroll the container when going out of (visible) bound.

Unless such a feature already exists and I'm using the component incorrectly, which is entirely possible.

Thanks

Hey @rraziel, thanks! I am glad and happy that it works nice for you.

This is indeed a nice feature to have. Would you be up to take a look at this and send a PR? I am more than happy to assist you and help you with anything that comes up. I would really appreciate any help.

Any remarks on your end @timdeschryver?

[timdeschryver]

Yea, why didn't we think of this 😅
I think it would be a great addition!

[d3lm]

@rraziel So how do you think should this behave when there are multiple scroll containers? Cause you could have the page that is scrollable as well as the select-container which might be scrollable too. You think that the container is enough because I don't want to make this too complex and try to keep the lib as lightweight as possible.

Ideas @timdeschryver?

Personally, I would expect that the direct parent would scroll with the mouse movement.
If every container scrolls, it would look a bit funny imho 😅

[d3lm]

Yep totally.

[rraziel]

I'm not sure how reliable this would be - especially considering people may also use extra components for infinite scroll - but I expect finding the first scrollable ancestor might work?

[d3lm]

@rraziel Yep, that might be enough.

@d3lm Any update on this ?
Thanks. :)

[d3lm]

Not yet. Haven't had the time to work on this. As this library is open source I would appreciate any help and maybe @suhailsalim you wanna take a stab at this and send a PR if this is a pressing issue?

[d3lm]

Or of course anyone else is also welcome to send a PR to introduce this feature.

@kinnu69 No, I don't have the capacity right now to work on this and would welcome a PR.
