Highlight menu item on scroll

Need help here ....
I am having difficulty here .... onClick the below code highlights my menu item as it should but
this is with the click event
I need to do the same thing but onScroll I need to highlight the menu item as I am doing below ... I guess using the active class

1. When user scrolls to next section the menu item should be highlighted - using the active class

  let actLink = document.querySelector("#homeLink");
actLink.classList.add("active"); // Add .active class to Home main Landing Page
// onclick remove and or add .active
function activeFunction(e) {
   let els = document.querySelector(".active");
   if (els !== null) {
      els.classList.remove("active");
   }
   e.target.className = "active";
}

Thought I would add the HTML sections

<section id='home'></section>
<section id='about'></section>
<section id='team'></section>
<section id='contact'></section>

        let homePosY = document.querySelector("#home").offsetTop;
        let aboutPosY = document.querySelector("#about").offsetTop;
        let teamPosY = document.querySelector("#team").offsetTop;
        let contactPosY = document.querySelector("#contact").offsetTop;
        let curActive = document.querySelector(".active");
        if(curActive) {
            curActive.classList.remove("active");
        }
        if(window.scrollY>=(homePosY-8)&&window.scrollY<aboutPosY) {
            document.getElementById("homeLink").className = "active";
