I'd like to smooth scroll to the specific ref on clicking a button. I'm trying to use 'react-scroll-to' There is a documentation about scrolling to the ref and I've tried to find the solution on here stackoverflow & github issues. But I can't find the proper solution. Please help me to figure this out.
Thanks in advance!
I prepared the codesandbox here https://codesandbox.io/s/react-scroll-to-ref-nwpq2?file=/src/index.js
import React from 'react'
import ReactDOM from 'react-dom'
import { ScrollTo } from 'react-scroll-to'
import './styles.css'
class Child1 extends React.Component {
render() {
return (
<div>
<button onClick={this.props.scrollTo}>Scroll</button>
</div>
)
}
}
class Child2 extends React.Component {
render() {
return (
<div style={{ height: '500px', backgroundColor: 'blue' }}>Child 2</div>
)
}
}
class Example extends React.Component {
constructor(props) {
super(props)
this.myRef = React.createRef()
}
render() {
return (
<div className="App">
<h1>Index Component</h1>
<ScrollTo>
{({ scrollTo }) => {
console.log(this.myRef)
return (
<Child1
scrollTo={() =>
scrollTo({
ref: this.myRef,
// y: 100,
smooth: true
})
}
/>
)
}}
</ScrollTo>
<Child2 />
<div
ref={this.myRef}
style={{ height: '500px', backgroundColor: 'black' }}
>
Hello
</div>
</div>
)
}
}
const rootElement = document.getElementById('root')
ReactDOM.render(<Example />, rootElement)
As @sava mentioned, I misunderstood how the ref property of scrollTo works. By the way, Based on the @sava's answer, I've just fixed my codesandbox as scrolling to the bottom ref's offsetTop and it works smoothly.
<Child1
scrollTo={() =>
scrollTo({
y: this.myRef.current.offsetTop,
smooth: true
})
}
/>
