Answer 1

I use this:

onClick({ target }: MouseEvent) => {
    const targetDivElement: HTMLDivElement = target as HTMLDivElement;
    
    const listFullHeight: number = targetDivElement.scrollHeight;
    const listVisibleHeight: number = targetDivElement.offsetHeight;
    const listTopScroll: number = targetDivElement.scrollTop;
}
