Autoscroll to TOP with ui-router and Angularjs
JavascriptAngularjsAngular Ui-RouterJavascript Problem Overview
I've read so many different problems with this and none of the solution given seem to fit my use case. I started by simply putting target="_top" on all my links, but that actually forces my app to reload which wont work. I've also seen people say they use autoscroll="true" but that only seems to work if its within my ui-view.
The issue with this is that in my index.html file I have fixed nav and other static elements that are above my first ui-view. This means when I go to other pages I lose the navigation as the page loads past those elements. I've also tried putting this on the body with:
<body autoscroll="true">
</body>
This doesn't seem to do anything either. So the question is, how can I make sure that new pages (new route changes from ui-router) result in starting at the top of the page? THANKS!
Javascript Solutions
Solution 1 - Javascript
If you want it to always scroll to 0 cross-browser, do nothing with autoscroll. Just place this your run block:
$rootScope.$on('$stateChangeSuccess', function() {
document.body.scrollTop = document.documentElement.scrollTop = 0;
});
Solution 2 - Javascript
Using version 1.0.6, the $stateChangeSuccess event is deprecated in favor of the $transitions service. Here is the code I used to scroll to the top on every state change:
app.run(['$transitions', function ($transitions) {
$transitions.onSuccess({}, function () {
document.body.scrollTop = document.documentElement.scrollTop = 0;
})
}]);
Solution 3 - Javascript
I had exactly the same problem, fixed navbar on route changes, page loading partially scrolled down the page.
I just added autoscroll="false" to ui-view, like so:
<div ui-view="main" autoscroll="false"></div>

Just tested this method, bit of a dirty hack, but it works. Import angular services $anchorScroll & $location into the relevant controllers for ui-router .state config. Then use a $watch on ui-router $stateParams to call $location.hash('top'); on route/state changes.
https://docs.angularjs.org/api/ng/service/$anchorScroll
https://docs.angularjs.org/api/ng/service/$location#hash
.controller('myCtrl', function ($location, $anchorScroll, $scope, $stateParams) {
$scope.$watchCollection('$stateParams', function() {
$location.hash('top');
$anchorScroll();
});
});
Solution 4 - Javascript
There is an Angular service for this. https://docs.angularjs.org/api/ng/service/$anchorScroll
Sample Code:
.run(function ($rootScope, $state, $stateParams, $anchorScroll) {
$rootScope.$on('$stateChangeStart', function () {
$anchorScroll();
});
});
If you want to scroll to a specific element
.run(function ($rootScope, $state, $stateParams, $anchorScroll) {
$rootScope.$on('$stateChangeStart', function () {
// set the location.hash to the id of
// the element you wish to scroll to.
$location.hash('bottom');
// call $anchorScroll()
$anchorScroll();
});
});
Solution 5 - Javascript
I am using ui-router. My run looked like this:
.run(function($rootScope, $state, $stateParams){
$rootScope.$state = $state;
$rootScope.$stateParams = $stateParams;
$rootScope.$on('$stateChangeSuccess', function() {
document.body.scrollTop = document.documentElement.scrollTop = 0;
});
})
Solution 6 - Javascript
I had to do a combination of the other two answers.
<div ui-view autoscroll="false"></div>
In combination with
$rootScope.$on('$stateChangeSuccess', function() {
document.body.scrollTop = 0;
document.documentElement.scrollTop = 0;
});
Note: This is on v0.2.15 of ui-router
Solution 7 - Javascript
Did the same thing as the excepted answer from @TaylorMac but in $locationChangeStart.
index.run.js:
$rootScope.$on('$locationChangeStart', function() {
document.body.scrollTop = document.documentElement.scrollTop = 0;
});
