I want to scrollTo a particular item in listview in ionic 2. I have a listview which is bound to array.
export class TestPage {
@ViewChild(Content) content: Content;
public items: Array<Object> = [];
ionViewWillEnter() {
console.log(this.navParams.data);
this.customService.getArray(this.params.index).then((items) => {
this.items = items;
//scroll to item
// this.content.scrollTo()
});
}
}
Here is the view:
<ion-list [virtualScroll]="items" approxItemHeight="120px" approxItemWidth="100%"
class="items-listview list list-md">
<button class="items-listview-item item item-md" *virtualItem="let item">
<div class="items-listview-text">
{{ item.text }}<span>{{item.index}}</span>
</div>
</button>
</ion-list>
I see that scrollTo only support position i.e top and left but not the element itself. How can i scrollTo listview item (e. item no 150) itself ? How can i get the position of item no 150 and pass it to scrollTo?
You can assign an id to each item (by doing something like [id]="'item' + item.index"
and then in your code just use that id to get the offsetTop
:
scrollTo(elementId:string) {
let yOffset = document.getElementById(elementId).offsetTop;
this.content.scrollTo(0, yOffset, 4000)
}
The current accepted answer only scrolled relative to the parent element, so here is what I came up with to scroll to the selected element (without traversing the DOM).
scrollTo(element:string) {
let elem = document.getElementById(element);
var box = elem.getBoundingClientRect();
var body = document.body;
var docEl = document.documentElement;
var scrollTop = window.pageYOffset || docEl.scrollTop || body.scrollTop;
var clientTop = docEl.clientTop || body.clientTop || 0;
var top = box.top + scrollTop - clientTop;
var cDim = this.content.getContentDimensions();
var scrollOffset = Math.round(top) + cDim.scrollTop - cDim.contentTop;
this.content.scrollTo(0, scrollOffset, 500);
}
I am posting the solution i come up with. First you need to give unique id to each listview item and then select the ListView
@ViewChild(VirtualScroll) listView: VirtualScroll;
After that i created a function (following) ScrollTo
which has a timeout of resizing the listview after scrolling too (as i was changing buffer ratio dynamically).
private scrollTo(index: number) {
let key = '#customIds_' + index;
let hElement: HTMLElement = this.content._elementRef.nativeElement;
let element = hElement.querySelector(key);
element.scrollIntoView();
//wait till scroll animation completes
setTimeout(() => {
//resize it! otherwise will not update the bufferRatio
this.listView.resize();
},500);
}
Last i just called this function after a second delay as i waited till listview loads:
//must be delay otherwise content scroll doesn't go to element properly..magic!
setTimeout(() => {
this.scrollTo('someId');
}, 1000);
