A router outlet will emit an activate event any time a new component is being instantiated, so
(activate)
event could be to scroll (for example) to the top:
app.component.html
<router-outlet (activate)="onActivate($event)" ></router-outlet>
app.component.ts
onActivate(event) {
window.scroll(0,0);
//or document.body.scrollTop = 0;
//or document.querySelector('body').scrollTo(0,0)
...
}
or using this answer to smooth scroll
onActivate(event) {
let scrollToTop = window.setInterval(() => {
let pos = window.pageYOffset;
if (pos > 0) {
window.scrollTo(0, pos - 20); // how far to scroll on each step
} else {
window.clearInterval(scrollToTop);
}
}, 16);
}
If you wish to be selective, say not every component should trigger the scrolling, you can check it:
onActivate(e) {
if (e.constructor.name)==="login"{ // for example
window.scroll(0,0);
}
}
Since Angular6.1, we can also use
{ scrollPositionRestoration: 'enabled' }
on eagerly loaded modules or just in app.module and it will be applied to all routes:RouterModule.forRoot(appRoutes, { scrollPositionRestoration: 'enabled' })
It will also do the smooth scrolling
