How to Detect scroll direction

It can be detected by storing the previous scrollTop value and comparing the current scrollTop value with it.

JavaScript :

var lastScrollTop = 0;

// element should be replaced with the actual target element on which you have applied scroll, use window in case of no target element.
element.addEventListener("scroll", function(){ // or window.addEventListener("scroll"....
   var st = window.pageYOffset || document.documentElement.scrollTop;
   if (st > lastScrollTop) {
      // downscroll code
   } else if (st < lastScrollTop) {
      // upscroll code
   } // else was horizontal scroll
   lastScrollTop = st <= 0 ? 0 : st; // For Mobile or negative scrolling
}, false);
