How to smooth scroll to page anchor in angular 4 without plugins properly?

What I want to achieve is a click to and do a smooth scroll to bottom / specified div area which i define with hashtag just like

i think it should be like this.

here is the live example in the w3school example which is written for JQuery: https://www.w3schools.com/jquery/tryit.asp?filename=tryjquery_eff_animate_smoothscroll

What I do is peek from this answer: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/36101756/angular2-routing-with-hashtag-to-page-anchor

but i don't really understand the answer, the answer is looked like this :

this part is HTML part :

<a [routerLink]="['somepath']" fragment="Test">Jump to 'Test' anchor </a>

and below this, the router.navigate is where should I put the code? component.ts right? but how do i access this function? should i implement (click)?

this._router.navigate( ['/somepath', id ], {fragment: 'test'});

and below this, i get it, which it should write in my component.ts :

** Add Below code to your component to scroll**

  import {ActivatedRoute} from '@angular/router'; // <-- do not forget to import

  private fragment: string;

  constructor(private route: ActivatedRoute { }

  ngOnInit() {
    this.route.fragment.subscribe(fragment => { this.fragment = fragment; });
  }

  ngAfterViewInit(): void {
    try {
      document.querySelector('#' + this.fragment).scrollIntoView();
    } catch (e) { }
  }

what is the "somepath" mean? I should add a route in my routes.ts right? usually, i add a new path in here for example like this :

export const routes: Routes = [
  { path: '', redirectTo: '/home', pathMatch: 'full' },
  { path: 'product', redirectTo: '/product' },
  ...homeRoutes,
  ...productRoutes
];

can anyone provide me with full example code in HTML, routes, and component?

I was looking for a similar solution and tried to use the ngx-scroll-to package and found that its not working in latest version of angular (angular 6+) so decided to look into other option and found a solution which uses the browser's native scrollIntoView and this seems to be the best solution so far

HTML code :

<button (click)="scrollToElement(target)"></button>
<div #target>Your target</div>

Ts code :

scrollToElement($element): void {
    console.log($element);
    $element.scrollIntoView({behavior: "smooth", block: "start", inline: "nearest"});
  }

CSS only solution

html {
  scroll-behavior: smooth;
}

It works even after navigation or page reload.

Please note that it does not work in IE, Edge or Safari.

You can simply do this in your component.

const element = document.querySelector("#destination")
if (element) element.scrollIntoView({ behavior: 'smooth', block: 'start' })

Ref: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Element/scrollIntoView

In new Angular versions the solution is:

component.html

<p (click)="scrollTo()">scroll</p>
   .
   .
   .
<form id="myForm">
   .
   .
   .
</form>

component.ts

constructor(private viewportScroller: ViewportScroller) {}

scrollTo() {
    this.viewportScroller.scrollToAnchor('myForm');
}

your-general-styles.css

html {
  scroll-behavior: smooth;
}

I just used ngx-page-scroll. It can be as simple as:

<a class="nav-link nav-item-text" pageScroll href="#categories">Categorias</a>

....

<section id="categories">

Visit the package page for more information: https://www.npmjs.com/package/ngx-page-scroll

It also provides mechanisms to configure scrolling process, or event implement custom behavior through a service that controls the scrolling from the component's controller.

 // you can use ViewportScroller calss
 constructor(
        private viewPortscroller: ViewportScroller
        ) {}

scrollingTop() {
    this.viewPortscroller.scrollToPosition([0 , 0]);
  }

// and for smoothly scroll you can do that

html, body {
     height: 100%;
     scroll-behavior: smooth;
 }

you have to add the flowing:

1- in app-routing.module.ts :

@NgModule({
  imports: [RouterModule.forRoot(routes,
      {
        useHash: true,
        scrollPositionRestoration: 'top',
        anchorScrolling: 'enabled',
        scrollOffset: [0, 64],
        relativeLinkResolution: 'legacy'
      }
    )],
  exports: [RouterModule]
})
export class AppRoutingModule { }

2- in style.scss :

body, html {
  overflow-x: hidden;
  scroll-behavior: smooth !important;
}

3- in the .html file :

<li>
    <a routerLink="home">Home</a>
</li>
<li>
    <a routerLink="." fragment="about">About</a>
</li>

OR like this:

<div class="mt-4">
      <a class="main-button" style="margin-left: 0px;" routerLink="." fragment="testimonials">
           testimonials
       </a>
</div>

Try removing the square brackets:

class="startScroll" scrollTo="'#firstDiv'" scrollBoxID="'#scrollBox'"

I got it work by doing this, consider that top-page is the id that you want to scroll to.

document.getElementById("top-page").scrollTo({ behavior: "smooth", top: 0 });

you could use css with this :

html {
  scroll-behavior: smooth;
}

document.getElementById("top-page").scrollIntoView({ behavior: "smooth" });

Add the below lines in style.css to get nicescroll in your angular application page.

::-webkit-scrollbar {
    width: 5px;
}


::-webkit-scrollbar-thumb {
    border-radius: 10px;
    -webkit-box-shadow: inset 0 0 6px rgba(0,0,0,0.5); 
    background: #c3c3c3 !important;
}
