How to get Y scroll position in React

reactScrollPositionY.js

import React, { Component } from 'react'
import UserDetails from './UserDetails'

/**
 * This utility function allows function calls to be debounced.
 * @param {Function} func Function that requires debouncing
 * @param {Number} wait Wait time in milliseconds between successive invocations
 */
const debounce = (func, wait) => {
  let timeout
  return (...args) => {
    clearTimeout(timeout)
    timeout = setTimeout(() => func.apply(this, args), wait)
  }
}

class NavContainer extends Component {
  constructor(props) {
    super(props)
    this.state = {
      scrollPositionY: 0,
    }
  }

  componentDidMount() {
    // 32 is the number of milliseconds to debounce
    // I picked this because it's approx 2 frames (ie: 16.7 * 2)
    return window.addEventListener('scroll', debounce(this.handleScroll, 32))
  }

  componentWillUnmount() {
    return window.removeEventListener('scroll', debounce(this.handleScroll, 32))
  }

  handleScroll = () => {
    // + is unary operator, same as Number(scrollPositionY)
    const scrollPositionY = +window.scrollY
    return this.setState({ scrollPositionY })
  }

  render() {
    // !! coerces value to be a Boolean
    // we want it to be true or false (true if scrollPositionY > 0)
    // it works because scrollPositionY === 0 is falsy
    const isScrolling = !!this.state.scrollPositionY
    return (
      <div className={(isScrolling) ? 'nav isScrolling' : 'nav'}>
        <UserDetails isScrolling={isScrolling} />
      </div>
    )
  }
}
