react-scrollable-anchor

npm version

Lightweight library for smooth scrolling anchors in React, tied to URL hash.

  • Land on correct anchor when page is loaded, based on URL hash value.
  • Scroll smoothly to anchors when URL hash changes. Easy links to sections with <a href='#sectionId'>.
  • URL hash updates automatically to reflect section in view
  • Option to record history on hash changes
npm install --save react-scrollable-anchor

Usage

1. Creating a scrollable anchor

Use the ScrollableAnchor tag to wrap any React element, making it a scrollable anchor.

import React, { Component } from 'react'
import ScrollableAnchor from 'react-scrollable-anchor'

export default class Page extends Component {
  render() {
    return (
      <div>
        <a href='#section1'> Go to section 1 </a>
        <a href='#section2'> Go to section 2 </a>
        <ScrollableAnchor id={'section1'}>
          <div> Hello World </div>
        </ScrollableAnchor>
        <ScrollableAnchor id={'section2'}>
          <div> How are you world? </div>
        </ScrollableAnchor>
      </div>
    )
  }
}

2. Configure

Access configureAnchors to customize scrolling and anchors.

Offset all scrollable anchors by a fixed amount
import { configureAnchors } from 'react-scrollable-anchor'

// Offset all anchors by -60 to account for a fixed header
// and scroll more quickly than the default 400ms
configureAnchors({offset: -60, scrollDuration: 200})
Options:
option default
offset 0
scrollDuration 400
keepLastAnchorHash false

3. Utilities

A small toolkit of scrolling utilies for use with anchors

Jump to top of page in a way that plays nicely with scrollable anchors
import { goToTop } from 'react-scrollable-anchor'

// scroll to top of the page
goToTop()
Scroll to any scrollable anchor, with option to record history
import { goToAnchor } from 'react-scrollable-anchor'

// scroll to #section1 without saving that hash update in history
goToAnchor('section1')
goToAnchor('section1', false)

// scroll to #section1, saving that hash update in history
goToAnchor('section1', true)
Clear the URL hash without affecting scroll location at all
import { removeHash } from 'react-scrollable-anchor'

// clear URL hash
removeHash()
