Angular smooth scroll
A pure-javascript library and set of directives to scroll smoothly to an element with easing. Easing support contributed by Willem Liu with code from Gaëtan Renaudeau.
No jQuery required.
Features
- Exposes a service that scrolls the window to an element's location
- Provides two directives that enable smooth scrolling to elements.
- Clean: No classes are added, no jQuery is required, no CSS files or configuration is needed.
- Scrolling within a custom container added in 2.0.0
Installation
Include the .js file in your page then enable usage of the directive by including the "smoothScroll" module as a dependency
Bower
Install with bower with:
bower install ngSmoothScroll
Usage - As a directive
This module provides two directives:
####smoothScroll:
Attribute. Scrolls the window to this element, optionally validating the expression inside scroll-if.
Example:
// Basic - The window will scroll to this element's position when compiling this directive
<div smooth-scroll></div>
// With options
<div smooth-scroll
duration="800"
easing="easeInQuint"
offset="120"
callback-before="aFunction(element)"
callback-after="anotherFunction">
{{...}}
</div>
// Inside a custom container
<div smooth-scroll
duration="800"
easing="easeInQuint"
offset="120"
callback-before="aFunction(element)"
callback-after="anotherFunction"
container-id="container-id">
{{...}}
</div>
// With condition
<div smooth-scroll
scroll-if="{{ myExpression }}">
{{...}}
</div>
// Inside ng-repeat
<div smooth-scroll
scroll-if="{{ $last }}"
duration="2500">
{{...}}
</div>
####scrollTo:
Attribute. Scrolls the window to the specified element ID when clicking this element.
Example:
// Basic
<a href="#"
scroll-to="my-element-3">
Click me!
</a>
// Custom containers
<a href="#"
scroll-to="my-element-3"
container-id="custom-container-id">
Click me!
</a>
// onClick for non-anchor tags
<div scroll-to="my-element-3"
container-id="custom-container-id">
Click me!
</div>
// With options
<button
scroll-to="elem-id5"
duration="1800"
callback-before="aFunction(element)"
callback-after="anotherFunction">
Scroll to next page.
</button>
Usage - As a service
Inject the 'smoothScroll' service in your directive / factory / controller / whatever, and call like this:
// Using defaults
var element = document.getElementById('my-elem');
smoothScroll(element);
// With options
var element = $elem[0];
var options = {
duration: 700,
easing: 'easeInQuad',
offset: 120,
callbackBefore: function(element) {
console.log('about to scroll to element', element);
},
callbackAfter: function(element) {
console.log('scrolled to element', element);
}
}
smoothScroll(element, options);
// With options for custom container
var element = $elem[0];
var options = {
duration: 700,
easing: 'easeInQuad',
offset: 120,
callbackBefore: function(element) {
console.log('about to scroll to element', element);
},
callbackAfter: function(element) {
console.log('scrolled to element', element);
},
containerId: 'custom-container-id'
}
smoothScroll(element, options);
// In directive's link function
link: function($scope, $elem, $attrs){
var options = $attrs;
smoothScroll($elem[0], options);
}
