Prop types

  propTypes: {

    /**
     * id attribute of the target DOM node
     * - `#` can be omitted
     * - let it blank, `to = ''`, for scroll to page top
     * - this prop is required
     */
    to: PropTypes.string.isRequired,

    /**
     * id attribute of the scrollable DOM node
     * - `#` can be omitted
     * - uses the root element of the document if omitted
     */
    target: PropTypes.string,

    /**
     * scroll smooth animation can be customized
     * Accepted options, Ex: (default)
     *  { offset: 0, duration: 400, easing: easeOutQuad }
     */
    animate: PropTypes.object,

    /**
     * callback function triggered before scroll to #hash
     * @param1 Received click event
     */
    beforeAnimate: PropTypes.func,

    /**
     * callback function triggered after scroll to #hash
     * @param1 Received click event
     */
    afterAnimate: PropTypes.func

    /**
     * enable/disable update browser history with scroll behaviours
     * Default to `false`
     */
    disableHistory: PropTypes.bool
}

Reactive props

Update props will re-render Scrollchor element

Example: updating "to" prop

Custom animations

Animation behavior can be customized:

<Scrollchor to="#aboutus" animate={{offset: 20, duration: 600}} className="nav-link">Home</Scrollchor>

default animation settings

{ offset: 0, duration: 400, easing: easeOutQuad }

This setting is equivalent to default jQuery.animate easing: swing

more Easing functions

• jQuery easings
• Robert Penner's Easing Functions
• Javascript source code

before and after Animate callbacks

Use these callbacks to trigger behaviors like: update state, load async stuff, etc.

<Scrollchor to="#aboutus" afterAnimate={() => updateState(this)}>Home</Scrollchor>

Simulate click API

Scrollchor includes a dedicate API to do animate scroll programmatically that works like normal click events using simulateClick().

Example: using simulateClick

When used programmatically, some use-cases don't need anchor tags. On these cases use childless Scrollchor.

Childless Scrollchor

This component will render null and the user is reponsible for storing the component reference, Ex: childless

<Scrollchor ref={ref => (this._back = ref)} to="_back" />

Example: calling simulateClick() on childless ref

_afterAnimate = () => {
  this.setState({ to: this._iterator.next().value });
    setTimeout(() => this._back.simulateClick(), 1000);
};

Scrollable ancestor container

Scrollchor works within any scrollable parent container. The root element of the document will be choose if none is specified.

Hosted example show how to use a different container using prop target.
