What is @types/react-scroll?
@types/react-scroll provides TypeScript definitions for the react-scroll library, which is used for smooth scrolling and navigation within a React application.
What are @types/react-scroll's main functionalities?
Smooth Scrolling
This feature allows you to create smooth scrolling links to different sections of your page. The `Link` component is used to create a clickable link that scrolls smoothly to the target `Element`.
import { Link, Element } from 'react-scroll';
const SmoothScrollExample = () => (
<div>
<Link to="section1" smooth={true} duration={500}>Go to Section 1</Link>
<Element name="section1">
<h1>Section 1</h1>
</Element>
</div>
);
Scroll Events
This feature allows you to register and handle scroll events. You can use the `Events` object to register callbacks for the beginning and end of a scroll event, and the `scroller` object to programmatically scroll to a specific element.
import { Events, scroller } from 'react-scroll';
class ScrollEventExample extends React.Component {
componentDidMount() {
Events.scrollEvent.register('begin', function() {
console.log('begin', arguments);
});
Events.scrollEvent.register('end', function() {
console.log('end', arguments);
});
}
componentWillUnmount() {
Events.scrollEvent.remove('begin');
Events.scrollEvent.remove('end');
}
scrollTo() {
scroller.scrollTo('myScrollToElement', {
duration: 800,
delay: 0,
smooth: 'easeInOutQuart'
});
}
render() {
return (
<div>
<button onClick={this.scrollTo}>Scroll to element</button>
<Element name="myScrollToElement">
<h1>Scroll to me</h1>
</Element>
</div>
);
}
}
Scroll Spy
This feature allows you to highlight navigation links based on the current scroll position. The `spy` prop on the `Link` component enables this functionality, and the `scrollSpy` object is used to update the scroll position.
import { Link, Element, Events, scrollSpy } from 'react-scroll';
class ScrollSpyExample extends React.Component {
componentDidMount() {
Events.scrollEvent.register('begin', function() {
console.log('begin', arguments);
});
Events.scrollEvent.register('end', function() {
console.log('end', arguments);
});
scrollSpy.update();
}
componentWillUnmount() {
Events.scrollEvent.remove('begin');
Events.scrollEvent.remove('end');
}
render() {
return (
<div>
<Link to="section1" spy={true} smooth={true} duration={500}>Section 1</Link>
<Link to="section2" spy={true} smooth={true} duration={500}>Section 2</Link>
<Element name="section1">
<h1>Section 1</h1>
</Element>
<Element name="section2">
<h1>Section 2</h1>
</Element>
</div>
);
}
}
