Is there a callback for window.scrollTo?

Question

I want to call focus() on an input after the widow scrolled. I\'m using the smooth behavior for the scrollTo() method. The problem is the foc

Answer 1

Other answers didn't fully work for me, therefore based on @Fabian von Ellerts answer, I wrote my own solution.

My problems were that :

• The element I was scrolling (and all its parents along the hierarchy) always had a offsetTop of 0, so it was not working.

• I needed to scroll a nested element.

Using getBoundingClientRect and a container element as reference works :

    const smoothScrollTo = (
        scrollContainer,
        scrolledContent,
        offset,
        callback
    ) => {
        const fixedOffset = (
            scrollContainer.getBoundingClientRect().top + offset
        ).toFixed()
        const onScroll = () => {
            if (
                scrolledContent.getBoundingClientRect().top.toFixed() ===
                fixedOffset
            ) {
                scrollContainer.removeEventListener('scroll', onScroll)
                callback()
            }
        }
        scrollContainer.addEventListener('scroll', onScroll)
        onScroll()
        scrollContainer.scrollTo({
            top: offset,
            behavior: 'smooth',
        })
    }
