Load More

Adds AJAX support to long, paginated lists as a replacement for standard URL-based pagination.

This assumes you have an existing back-end pagination approach, such as WordPress' built-in pagination.

Usage

<div class="articles" data-load-more>
  <article>Item #1</article>
  <article>Item #2</article>
  <article>Item #3</article>
  <article>Item #4</article>
  <article>Item #5</article>
  <article>Item #6</article>
  <div class="pagination">
    <a class="next-page" href="./page-2.html">Next Page</a>
  </div>
  <div class="load-more">
    <button data-load-more-button>Load More</button>
  </div>
</div>

var LoadMore = require('load-more');
new LoadMore({
  container: '[data-load-more]',
  button: '[data-load-more-button]',
  link: 'a.next-page',
  remove: '.pagination, .load-more'
});

Options

container

Type: String Default: [data-load-more]

Selector for elements within the load more container that should be removed before adding new content (e.g. pagination & load more controls for the previous page).
