This angular.js directive can detect when an element or the window itself scrolls to any edge, then calls a handler with the edge that was hit.

scrollToEnd.js

'use strict';
// Tested with Angular 1.3, 1.4.8
angular.module('scrollToEnd', [])
  /**
   * @ngdoc directive
   * @name scrollToEnd:scrollToEnd
   * @scope
   * @restrict A
   *
   * @description
   * Supply a handler to be called when this element is scrolled all the way to any extreme.
   * The callback must have the following signature:
   * void function (direction:'top'|'bottom'|'left'|'right')
   * If the `bindToWindow` attribute is truthy, the callback will be issued for the window
   * instead of the element that the directive is on.
   *
   * Example usage:
   * `<div scroll-to-end="scrollToEndWindow" bind-to-window="true">`
   * This will call the controller's `scrollToEndWindow` function whenever the window reaches
   * the edges when scrolling. If the div itself is a scrollable element for which the
   * handler should be called instead, remove the bind-to-window attribute entirely.
   *
   * @param {function}	emScrollToEnd   Callback to be invoked
   * @param {boolean}		bindToWindow		Bind to the window instead of the element
   *
