## Description

This project is a frontend component designed to manage dynamic content loading and scroll-based interactions within web applications. It provides a reusable interface for handling data injection as users navigate through scrollable areas, ensuring that content updates occur automatically based on scroll position or manual user triggers.

The component distinguishes itself by supporting both standard downward infinite scrolling and inverse scrolling, which allows for the natural expansion of content history in chat-like interfaces. It offers developers full control over the visual presentation and layout of scrollable containers, enabling the creation of custom interfaces that maintain consistent scroll states and positions during data updates.

Beyond basic infinite loading, the utility includes capabilities for pull-to-refresh interactions and precise scroll state management. It is distributed as a package that integrates into existing web projects to facilitate the development of responsive, scroll-aware user interfaces.
