loadMore={loadFunc}
hasMore={true || false}
loader={Loading ...}
useWindow={false}
getScrollParent={() => this.scrollParentRef}
>
{items}

If you experience double or non-stop calls to your loadMore callback, make
sure you have your CSS layout working properly before adding this component in.
Calculations are made based on the height of the container (the element the
component creates to wrap the items), so the height of the container must equal
the entire height of the items.
`css`
.my-container {
overflow: auto;
}

This component doesn't make any assumptions about what you do in terms of API
calls. It's up to you to store whether you are currently loading items from an
API in your state/reducers so that you don't make overlapping API calls.
`js``
loadMore() {
if(!this.state.isLoading) {
this.props.fetchItems();
}
}
