to top button (jQuery)

I'm trying to create a to top button, it should show after scrollPosition became > 1500, but it doesn't seems to work

let scrollPosition = $(document).scrollTop();

$('.to-top-btn').hide();

$(document).on('scroll', ()=>{ if(scrollPosition > 1500){ $('.to-top-btn').fadeIn(); }; } )

Instead of storing the original "scrollPosition" (which never changes), use "scrollTop" inside the handler to get the current location at the time of the event.
