Usage
nebula.scrollTo(element, milliseconds, offset, onlyWhenBelow, callback)
Parameters
element
(Required) (Object) The jQuery object of the element to scroll to
Default: None
milliseconds
(Optional) (Integer) How long the animated scroll should take
Default: 500
offset
(Optional) (Integer) Pixel offset of the element
Default: None
onlyWhenBelow
(Optional) (Boolean) Only scroll if the viewport is below the element (with offset)
Default: false
callback
(Optional) (Function) A function to run after the scroll animation has completed
Default: None
Parameter Notes
offset is automatically subtracted from the element top, so positive numbers are above the element and negative numbers are below it.
Note: if a scroll-padding-top CSS property is applied to the <body> element, it will be accounted for as well and added to the offset automatically.
Examples
Scroll to a specific element.
nebula.scrollTo(jQuery('.some-element'));
Scroll to 100px above an element only when the viewport is below that point (triggered on a Bootstrap carousel slide).
jQuery('#example-bootstrap-carousel').on('slide.bs.carousel', function(){
nebula.scrollTo(jQuery('#signup-form'), 500, 100, true);
});
Automatically scroll to an element.
<a href="#lower-element">Click here to scroll</a>
Automatically scroll with an offset
<a href="#lower-element" offset="200">Click here to scroll</a>
Alternate way to automatically scroll to an element.
<a class="nebula-scrollto" href="#" scroll-to="#lower-element" offset="200">Click here to scroll</a>
Additional Notes
This function can be called specifically to scroll to an element, but it also runs automatically on any links where the href is an ID that starts with # (unless the class no-scroll is added to the element) or when the class nebula-scrollto is present.
After scrolling, the element will be “focused” on to maintain keyboard navigability. If you’re seeing borders on elements after scrolling, this is what is happening. You can modify your CSS to change this.
It is highly recommended to use scroll-padding-top in CSS to ensure the browser accounts for the fixed header on the page if used.
