how to Show or hide Navbar when scroll use react.js?

I used react.js Hooks with useState and useEffect, when I scroll-down and the screen comes down Header hides after 250 pixels. Now I want to know how to display Header using the react Hooks when I scroll up.

const Navbar = () => {
  const [show, setShow] = useState(false)
  const controlNavbar = () => {
      if (window.scrollY > 250 ) {
          setShow(true)
      }else{
        setShow(false)
      }
  }

  useEffect(() => {
      window.addEventListener('scroll', controlNavbar)
      return () => {
          window.removeEventListener('scroll', controlNavbar)
      }
  }, [])

and header:

 <header className={`active ${show && 'hidden'}`}></header>

css:

.active{
    height: 4rem;
    width: 100%;
    position: fixed;
    top: 0px;
    transition: 0.3s linear;
    display: flex;
    justify-content:stretch;
    align-items: center;
    background-color: #FFFFFF;
    border-bottom: 1px solid rgba(0, 0, 0, .1);
    z-index: 40;
    box-shadow: 0 2px 5px -1px rgba(0, 0, 0, .08);
    /* padding: 0 7%; */
}
.hidden{
    height: 4rem;
    width: 100%;
    z-index: 40;
    border-bottom: 1px solid rgba(0, 0, 0, .1);
    box-shadow: 0 2px 5px -1px rgba(0, 0, 0, .08);
    position: fixed;
    top: -80px;
    transition: 0.3s linear;

Instead of using a static value (250), you need to perform dynamic checking with the previous scroll. This is my complete solution (using nextJS):

import React, { useState, useEffect } from 'react';

const Navbar = () => {
  const [show, setShow] = useState(true);
  const [lastScrollY, setLastScrollY] = useState(0);

  const controlNavbar = () => {
    if (typeof window !== 'undefined') { 
      if (window.scrollY > lastScrollY) { // if scroll down hide the navbar
        setShow(false); 
      } else { // if scroll up show the navbar
        setShow(true);  
      }

      // remember current page location to use in the next move
      setLastScrollY(window.scrollY); 
    }
  };

  useEffect(() => {
    if (typeof window !== 'undefined') {
      window.addEventListener('scroll', controlNavbar);

      // cleanup function
      return () => {
        window.removeEventListener('scroll', controlNavbar);
      };
    }
  }, [lastScrollY]);

  return (
        <nav className={`active ${show && 'hidden'}`}>
        ....
        </nav>
  );
};

export default Navbar;

From a couple of searches here I stumbled upon a scroll funtion on raw js but you can implement it in your case and tweak it how you want it, because currently your function will only use the false if scrollY < 250...

On your controlNav function create a variable that will track the location/point of your previous scroll then compare it to the current value of the scroll.. it will look like this:

     const controlNavbar = () => {
      if (window.scrollY >= this.lastScroll ) {
          setShow(true)
      }else{
        setShow(false)
      }
    this.lastScroll = window.scrollY;


  }

NB This will only work for scroll up and scroll down with no minimum value..
