🖥️ How to use

import {
  AnchorContext,
  AnchorLink,
  AnchorProvider,
  AnchorSection,
} from "react-anchor-navigation";

AnchorProvider

AnchorProvider is our top level contextProvider. Wrap it around your topmost component for your view :

<AnchorProvider>
  <YourView />
</AnchorProvider>

Key	Type	Description
offset	number	The offset amount of pixels from the top, usefull when handling fixed header or sticky navigation (default: 0)
getScroller	() => HTMLElement	Function to returns the scrollable element (default: body)

It will provide the AnchorContext to all children.

AnchorContext

AnchorContext is the context you can yield with the new useContext hook or with old-fashioned Context.consumer.

const { hash, sections } = useContext(AnchorContext);

Here is its typing :

Key	Type	Description
sections	HTMLElement[]	List of the registered sections elements that we watch, in our codebase it is AnchorSection
hash	string	The registered hash corresponding to our current scroll position
registerSection	(element: HTMLElement) => void	Function to add a Section to our sections list, our scrollEvent listener will then update the hash if the section is scrolled to
unregisterSection	(element: HTMLElement) => void	Function to remove a Section to our sections list, our scrollEvent listener will then stop checking this section
setHash	(hash: string, withScroll?: boolean) => void;	Setter function from the internal useHash hooks, use it to programmatically change the current hash
offset	number	The offset amount of pixels from the top, usefull when handling fixed header or sticky navigation (default: 0)

AnchorSection

AnchorSection is our most used components, it defines the scroll position you will arrive to on navigation/reloading

<AnchorSection className="dBlock anchor" id="definitions" />

Its props are the usual HTMLElement's props (className, data-*), along with an id used for recognizing the update the current hash on scroll.

interface TProps extends React.HTMLAttributes<HTMLElement> {
  id: string;
}

Internally it creates a <b/> tag to which we scroll to on reload and detect if we scrolled past it.

<>
  <b {...attributes} />
  {...children}
</>

AnchorLink

AnchorLink is a component made to have an activeClassname if its href is the current hash

interface TProps extends React.AnchorHTMLAttributes<HTMLAnchorElement> {
  children: React.ReactNode[] | React.ReactNode;
  activeClassName?: string;
}

<AnchorLink className="dTable w100 pad15" href="#definitions" activeClassName="blue">
