scrollIntoView() angular 7 not scrolling

I am trying to implement scrolling from one component to another in my application, but at the moment it is only "jumping" to the component, and not scrolling.

I have tried the following:

export class HomeComponent implements OnInit {
  scroll(el: HTMLElement) {
      el.scrollIntoView({ block: 'start',  behavior: 'smooth', inline: 'nearest' });
  }

  constructor() {
  }

  ngOnInit() {
  }
}

Here is my template:

<section class="bg-full bg-home">
  <div class="logo"></div>
  <a (click)="scroll(testPortfolio)" href="#portfolio" id="scroll-to-section">
    <img src="../../assets/arrow-scroll.svg" width="36">
  </a>
</section>
<app-about></app-about>
<app-portfolio-slider #testPortfolio></app-portfolio-slider>
<app-contact></app-contact>

Alternatively, I have also tried with the use of ViewChild(), but this always returns undefined as I assume it because <app-portfolio-slider> is not rendered yet.

What do I need to do in order for the scrolling to happen smoothly?

Solution

  • So my assumption was incorrect. As @arbghl mentioned in comments author just needed to wrap target element with <div> which has scrollIntoView() method and use that div as a target element. Hope that helps.
