Angular smooth scroll

A pure-javascript library and set of directives to scroll smoothly to an element with easing. Easing support contributed by Willem Liu with code from Gaëtan Renaudeau.

No jQuery required.

Features

• Exposes a service that scrolls the window to an element's location
• Provides two directives that enable smooth scrolling to elements.
• Clean: No classes are added, no jQuery is required, no CSS files or configuration is needed.
• Scrolling within a custom container added in 2.0.0

Installation

Include the .js file in your page then enable usage of the directive by including the "smoothScroll" module as a dependency

Bower

Install with bower with:

bower install ngSmoothScroll

Usage - As a directive

This module provides two directives:

smoothScroll:

Attribute. Scrolls the window to this element, optionally validating the expression inside scroll-if.

Example:

// Basic - The window will scroll to this element's position when compiling this directive
<div smooth-scroll></div>

// With options
<div smooth-scroll
    duration="800"
    easing="easeInQuint"
    offset="120"
    callback-before="aFunction(element)"
    callback-after="anotherFunction">
    {{...}}
</div>

// Inside a custom container
<div smooth-scroll
    duration="800"
    easing="easeInQuint"
    offset="120"
    callback-before="aFunction(element)"
    callback-after="anotherFunction"
    container-id="container-id">
    {{...}}
</div>

// With condition
<div smooth-scroll
    scroll-if="{{ myExpression }}">
    {{...}}
</div>

// Inside ng-repeat
<div smooth-scroll
    scroll-if="{{ $last }}"
    duration="2500">
    {{...}}
</div>

scrollTo:

Attribute. Scrolls the window to the specified element ID when clicking this element.

Example:

// Basic
<a href="#"
    scroll-to="my-element-3">
    Click me!
</a>

// Custom containers
<a href="#"
    scroll-to="my-element-3"
    container-id="custom-container-id">
    Click me!
</a>

// onClick for non-anchor tags
<div scroll-to="my-element-3"
    container-id="custom-container-id">
    Click me!
</div>

// With options
<button
    scroll-to="elem-id5"
    duration="1800"
    callback-before="aFunction(element)"
    callback-after="anotherFunction">
    Scroll to next page.
</button>

Usage - As a service

Inject the 'smoothScroll' service in your directive / factory / controller / whatever, and call like this:

// Using defaults
var element = document.getElementById('my-elem');
smoothScroll(element);

// With options
var element = $elem[0];

var options = {
    duration: 700,
    easing: 'easeInQuad',
    offset: 120,
    callbackBefore: function(element) {
        console.log('about to scroll to element', element);
    },
    callbackAfter: function(element) {
        console.log('scrolled to element', element);
    }
}

smoothScroll(element, options);

// With options for custom container
var element = $elem[0];

var options = {
    duration: 700,
    easing: 'easeInQuad',
    offset: 120,
    callbackBefore: function(element) {
        console.log('about to scroll to element', element);
    },
    callbackAfter: function(element) {
        console.log('scrolled to element', element);
    },
    containerId: 'custom-container-id'
}

smoothScroll(element, options);

// In directive's link function
link: function($scope, $elem, $attrs){
    var options = $attrs;

    smoothScroll($elem[0], options);
}
