Trigger an event on scrolling to the end of Mat-0ptions in Mat-Select : Angular 6

I recently started modifying a project based on Angular 6 and ran into a bit of an issue. So, I have (lets assume) 4 Mat-Select fields, for Language, Currency, Country and Organization.

Initially all the dropdowns have 10 default values, I fetch by making an API call. My requirement is to make another API call once the user scrolls to the end of the Mat-Options box that opens up on selecting dropdown.

I had referred to This Question and it works fine but with a few issue, I have noticed. That answer covers the solution for one field. Do we have to repeat the code if we are using multiple fields?

Here is the Html

            <mat-select [disabled]="isDisabled" [(ngModel)]="model.currency" name="currency" (selectionChange)="OnChange('currency',$event.value)" #currency>   
              <mat-option [value]="getCurrency.currencyCode" *ngFor="let getCurrency of fetchCurrency | 
                    filternew:searchCurrencyvaluedrop">
              </mat-option>
            </mat-select>

          <mat-select [disabled]="isDisabled" [(ngModel)]="model.language" name="language"
                (selectionChange)="OnChange('language', $event.value)" #language>                      
            <mat-option [value]="getLanguage.languageDescription" *ngFor="let getLanguage of fetchLanguage | 
                  filternew:searchLanguagevaluedrop"></mat-option>
          </mat-select>

I am adding only two fields for the sake of simplicity. Below is the code from .ts:


  viewIndex = 0;
  windowSize = 10;
  private readonly PIXEL_TOLERANCE = 3.0;

  ngAfterViewInit() {
    this.selectElemCu.openedChange.subscribe((event) =>
      this.registerPanelScrollEventCurrency(event)
    );
    this.selectElem.openedChange.subscribe((event) =>
      this.registerPanelScrollEventLang(event)
    );
}


//for language field

  registerPanelScrollEventLang(e) {
    if (e) {
      const panel = this.selectElem.panel.nativeElement;
      panel.addEventListener('scroll', event => this.loadNextOnScrollLang(event, this.selectElem.ngControl.name));
    }
  }

  loadNextOnScrollLang(event, select_name) {
    if (this.hasScrolledToBottomLang(event.target)) {
      this.viewIndex += this.windowSize;
      this.modifyPageDetails(select_name)
      this.appService.getAllLanguages(this.standardPageSizeObj, resp => {
        console.log('list of languages', resp)
        this.fetchLanguage.push(...resp['data'])
      }, (error) => {
      });
    }
  }

  private hasScrolledToBottomLang(target): boolean {
    return Math.abs(target.scrollHeight - target.scrollTop - target.clientHeight) < this.PIXEL_TOLERANCE;
  }

The code for currency drop down stays the same. SO, duplication is my first problem. The second this is on scrolling there are two API calls made instead of one. I can live with that but since there are 6 fields, the repition is way too much.

Due to certain security restrictions I cant even use an external library. Is there a better way to implement this. Please let me know if any more clarification is required. Thanks
