Usage

Import statement:

import {GoTopButtonModule} from 'ng2-go-top-button';
import {BrowserAnimationsModule} from '@angular/platform-browser/animations'; // angular 4.x and greater

Add it to imports in your module declaration. When using angular 4.x and greater, also import a BrowserAnimationsModule:

@NgModule({
    ...
    imports: [..., GoTopButtonModule, BrowserAnimationsModule],
    ...

If you need to export it from your module, than also add it to exports:

@NgModule({
    ...
    exports: [..., GoTopButtonModule]
    ...

On your template paste the <go-top-button></go-top-button> html. This will add a simple button with default styles and without animated scroll. By default go-top-button will appear on the right side, 50% top and bottom and without any icons or text. You can then customize its styles and behaviour.

Example of customization:

<go-top-button   [animate]="true"
                 [speed]="50"
                 [acceleration]="2"
                 [scrollDistance]="300"
                 [classNames]="'custom-class'"
                 [styles]="{
                    'border-radius': '20px 20px 20px 20px',
                    'right': '5px',
                    'color': 'green',
                    'border': '5px solid',
                    'line-height': '20px'
                 }">
        <i class=\'fa fa-arrow-up\'></i>
  </go-top-button>

Custom CSS class declaration (if needed):

.custom-class {
    position: fixed;
    background-color: pink;
    border-color: green;
    height: 30px;
    width: 30px;
}

Note 1:

For the version lower than 4.0.0 of this package you should still use the old syntax of injecting the html:

<go-top-button [html]="'<i class=\'fa fa-arrow-up\'></i>'" ... ></go-top-button>

The new syntax (injecting via <ng-content>) was introduced with v4.0.0 to fix the Angular Material compatibility issues.

Note 2:

In the version 4.2.0 classNames attribute has been added. Now you can define your custom CSS classes in your parent component and apply them to your go top button. In order to achieve this you need to change the CSS encapsulation level of your parent component to either None or Native:

    import { Component, ViewEncapsulation } from '@angular/core';
    
    @Component({
        ...,
        encapsulation: ViewEncapsulation.None, // ViewEncapsulation.Native may also work
    })

This will let your parent component affect the CSS of the go-top-button child.

The default styles now will not be merged with the input styles values - they have been moved to the default CSS class .go-top-button. So if you override this class with your custom className value, you have to write all CSS yourself with no default styling.

IE-specific issues:

IE does not support web animations. If you would like to enable them, install and import the corresponding polyfill to your polyfills.js file:

In your project's directory:

npm install --save web-animations-js

In polyfills.js:

import 'web-animations-js';

Example project

You can find example project that uses ng2-go-top-button in example-app/ directory of this repository. Navigate to this directory and run npm run start, the app will be hosted on http://localhost:4200 (is this port is not taken by any other apps on your host).

Issues & Pull Requests

Feel free to create issues and pull requests. Even though there is a 3.x version of this module for Angular 5, I still support the 2.x version for Angular 4 and lower. Fixes for 2.x version go to the v2-fixes branch.
