Angular 6 track scroll position of div within div



.everyoneloves__top-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__mid-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__bot-mid-leaderboard:empty height:90px;width:728px;box-sizing:border-box;

I am trying to create a directive that tracks the Y position of the element it is placed on - when this element reaches the top of the parent div, I will add sticky styling to make the header stick to the top until the whole element has been scrolled.



I have tried to track the scrolling, but can't get any output apart from the initial ngoninit log:



import Directive, OnInit, ElementRef, HostBinding, HostListener from '@angular/core';

@Directive(
/* tslint:disable-next-line:directive-selector */
selector: '[stickyHeaderDirective]'
)
export class StickyHeaderDirective implements OnInit


ngOnInit()
console.log('lets track ths scroll');


constructor()

@HostListener('scroll', ['$event']) private onScroll($event: Event): void
console.log($event.srcElement.scrollLeft, $event.srcElement.scrollTop);




What am i missing?

          HostListener only listens for scroll events which occur on the [stickyHeaderDirective] element. That element must be the one firing the scroll events.



          Make sure the [stickyHeaderDirective] element has the correct CSS styling to allow it to scroll. Here's a demo showing the difference with and without CSS styles.






          for (let element of document.getElementsByClassName('track-scrolling')) 
          element.addEventListener('scroll', e =>
          console.log(e.srcElement.scrollLeft, e.srcElement.scrollTop);
          );

          .container 
          height: 200px;
          width: 200px;
          overflow: auto;
          margin: 10px;
          border: 1px solid;


          .big-content
          height: 1000px;
          width: 1000px;


          .track-scrolling.wrong
          /*
          No overflow property
          No height/width or max-height/width
          */
          color: red;


          .track-scrolling.right
          overflow: auto;
          max-height: 100%;

          color: green;

          <div class="container">
          <div class="track-scrolling wrong">
          I won't fire scroll events
          <div class="big-content"></div>
