ES6 style with checking scrolling start also.

function onScrollHandler(params: {
  onStart: () => void,
  onStop: () => void,
  timeout: number
}) {
  const {onStart, onStop, timeout = 200} = params
  let timer = null

  return (event) => {
    if (timer) {
      clearTimeout(timer)
    } else {
      onStart && onStart(event)
    }
    timer = setTimeout(() => {
      timer = null
      onStop && onStop(event)
    }, timeout)
  }
}

Usage:

yourScrollableElement.addEventListener('scroll', onScrollHandler({
  onStart: (event) => {
    console.log('Scrolling has started')
  },
  onStop: (event) => {
    console.log('Scrolling has stopped')
  },
  timeout: 123 // Remove to use default value
}))
