2. Basic example

html

<vue-masonry-gallery :imgsArr="imgsArr" @scrollReachBottom="getData"></vue-masonry-gallery>

If imgArr is a replacement update, the data returned by the getData method new request overwrites the original data.

If imgArr is an incremental update, the data returned by the new request of getData method is merged with the original data. At this time, it is not recommended to use the replacement update, which will waste performance. The following example is an incremental update.

js

import VueMasonryGallery from "./components/VueMasonryGallery.vue";
import axios from "axios";
export default {
  name: "app",
  data() {
    return {
      imgsArr: [],
      group: 0 // request param
    };
  },
  components: {
    VueMasonryGallery
  },
  methods: {
    getData() {
      // In the real environment,the backend will return a new image array based on the parameter group.
      // Here I simulate it with a stunned json file.
      axios
        .get("./static/data/loadImages.json?group=" + this.group)
        .then(res => {
          this.imgsArr = this.imgsArr.concat(res.data);
          this.group++;
        });
    }
  },
  created() {
    this.getData();
  }
};
