I'm having trouble scrolling to last message.
var app=angular.module('myApp', ['ngMaterial'] );
app.controller('ChatCtrl', function($window, $anchorScroll){
var self = this;
self.messageWindowHeight = parseInt($window.innerHeight - 170) + 'px';
self.messages = [];
for(var i = 1 ; i<=200;i ++){
self.messages.push(i);
}
self.user = { text : ""};
self.send = function(){
self.messages.push(angular.copy(self.user.text));
self.user.text = "";
}
});
app.directive('scrollToBottom', function($timeout, $window) {
return {
scope: {
scrollToBottom: "="
},
restrict: 'A',
link: function(scope, element, attr) {
scope.$watchCollection('scrollToBottom', function(newVal) {
if (newVal) {
$timeout(function() {
element[0].scrollTop = element[0].scrollHeight;
}, 0);
}
});
}
};
});

Here's a plunk of my code.
Instead of setting
scrollTop
, useelement[0].scrollIntoView(false);
. See https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Element/scrollIntoView.Move the
scroll-to-bottom
directive to themd-content
elementThe
scroll-to-bottom
directive needs to operate on the element that is actually scrolling. The element that is scrolling is the<md-content>
element because its height is restricted by the CSS created by its ng-style directive. The<ol>
element is not scrolling and itsscrollHeight
property is constant.The DEMO
