Disable Scrolling when angular-material select is open

Question

By default the select-dropwon of angular-material will allow the page to scroll and reposition itself accordingly.

On the original page of the material-documentation the select-dropdown shows a differetn behaviour: it blocks scrolling when openend:

https://material.angular.io/components/select/overview

How can I achieve this behaviour? I did not find any options or switch to disable scrolling when the select is clicked

EDIT: I did find that there is a thing called "mat-select-scroll-strategy", but it is not documented anywhere. Can anybody give me a hint how to use this?

Answer 1

Since the mat-select component injects a strategy through DI, you can provide an alternative in your component (or at the module level if you wish).

import { MAT_SELECT_SCROLL_STRATEGY } from '@angular/material';
import { Overlay, BlockScrollStrategy } from '@angular/cdk/overlay';

export function scrollFactory(overlay: Overlay): () => BlockScrollStrategy {
  return () => overlay.scrollStrategies.block();
}

// ...

providers: [
  { provide: MAT_SELECT_SCROLL_STRATEGY, useFactory: scrollFactory, deps: [Overlay] }
]
