use-scroll-into-view

Scrolls given element into view

Import

Usage

use-scroll-into-view handles scroll behavior for any scrollable element. Basic usage works the same way as element.scrollIntoView(). Hook adjusts scrolling animation with respect to the reduced-motion user preference.

Hello there

import { useScrollIntoView } from '@mantine/hooks';
import { Button, Text, Group, Box } from '@mantine/core';

function Demo() {
  const { scrollIntoView, targetRef } = useScrollIntoView<HTMLDivElement>({
    offset: 60,
  });

  return (
    <Group justify="center">
      <Button
        onClick={() =>
          scrollIntoView({
            alignment: 'center',
          })
        }
      >
        Scroll to target
      </Button>
      <Box
        style={{
          width: '100%',
          height: '50vh',
          backgroundColor: 'var(--mantine-color-blue-light)',
        }}
      />
      <Text ref={targetRef}>Hello there</Text>
    </Group>
  );
}

API

The hook is configured with settings object:

  • onScrollFinish – function that will be called after scroll animation
  • easing – custom math easing function
  • duration - duration of scroll animation in milliseconds
  • axis - axis of scroll
  • cancelable - indicator if animation may be interrupted by user scrolling
  • offset - additional distance between the nearest edge and element
  • isList - indicator that prevents content jumping in scrolling lists with multiple targets, for example Select, Carousel

Hook returns an object with:

  • scrollIntoView – function that starts scroll animation
  • cancel – function that stops scroll animation
  • targetRef - ref of target HTML node
  • scrollableRef - ref of scrollable parent HTML element, if not used document element will be used

Returned scrollIntoView function accepts single optional argument alignment - optional target element alignment relatively to parent based on current axis.

scrollIntoView({ alignment: 'center' });

Easing

The hook accept custom easing math function to control the flow of animation. It takes t argument, which is a number between 0 and 1.

Default easing is easeInOutQuad - more info here. You can find other popular examples on easings.net

useScrollIntoView({
  target: someDomElement,
  easing: (t) =>
    t < 0.5 ? 16 * Math.pow(t, 5) : 1 - Math.pow(-2 * x + 2, 5) / 2, // easeInOutQuint
});
