Angular 5 Scroll to top on every Route click

Question

I am using angular 5. I have a dashboard where I have few sections with small content and few sections with so large content that I am facing a problem when changing router

Answer 1

Component: Subscribe to all routing events instead of creating an action in the template and scroll on NavigationEnd b/c otherwise you'll fire this off on bad navs or blocked routes, etc... This is a sure fire way to know that if a route successfully is navigated to, then sooth scroll. Otherwise, do nothing.

@Component({
  selector: 'app-root',
  templateUrl: './app.component.html',
  styleUrls: ['./app.component.scss']
})
export class AppComponent implements OnInit, OnDestroy {

  router$: Subscription;

  constructor(private router: Router) {}

  ngOnInit() {
    this.router$ = this.router.events.subscribe(next => this.onRouteUpdated(next));
  }

  ngOnDestroy() {
    if (this.router$ != null) {
      this.router$.unsubscribe();
    }
  }

  private onRouteUpdated(event: any): void {
    if (event instanceof NavigationEnd) {
      this.smoothScrollTop();
    }
  }

  private smoothScrollTop(): void {
    const scrollToTop = window.setInterval(() => {
      const pos: number = window.pageYOffset;
      if (pos > 0) {
          window.scrollTo(0, pos - 20); // how far to scroll on each step
      } else {
          window.clearInterval(scrollToTop);
      }
    }, 16);
  }

}
