Using body as the scrollable node instead of the scrollRef

[sbkl]

Tried to achieved to have the hook works with the window scrolling instead of an overflow scrollable div. Any idea how to make this hook support body scroll?

This is a good issue, it should be as simple as wiring up the scrollEvents events + scrollRef.current.scrollTop = newScrollTop to use the body scroll target instead.

You should be able to do this currently using

const { scrollRef } = useStickToBottom();

useImperativeHandle(scrollRef, () => /* mock object that adds events onto document.documentElement */, []);

but it'd be much nicer if this was built-in as an option to the useStickToBottom() hook (which could also be utilized on the <StickToBottom> component because I could see that being the most frequent combo). If someone wants to send a PR, that'd be cool - otherwise I'll see when I can open a PR myself (but that may take some time)

+1 on this feature. Great library, easy to use --> however, for our use case we want to scroll the entire page, not just a container

Hey @samdenty. Took a first stab at it. Can you have a look?
