How to scroll element into view when it's clicked

Question

Am looking for something similar to scrollIntoView() within Ionic2 to use when I click on a button, for example.

None of the methods detailed in ion-content help.

Answer 1

I was trying to do this in Ionic 3 and due to the fact that .offsetTop was returning10 (the padding on the top of the element) instead of the distance to the top of the page (much larger unknown number) I ending up just using .scrollIntoView(), which worked well for me.

To get the object I used document.getElementById(), but there are many other options on how to get a handle on that.
