Configuration options for the scrolling feature which can be used with withInMemoryScrolling function or RouterModule.forRoot.

API

    
      interface InMemoryScrollingOptions {}
    
    

anchorScrolling

"disabled" | "enabled" | undefined

When set to 'enabled', scrolls to the anchor element when the URL has a fragment. Anchor scrolling is disabled by default.

Anchor scrolling does not happen on 'popstate'. Instead, we restore the position that we stored or scroll to the top.

scrollPositionRestoration

"disabled" | "enabled" | "top" | undefined

Configures if the scroll position needs to be restored when navigating back.

  • 'disabled'- (Default) Does nothing. Scroll position is maintained on navigation.
  • 'top'- Sets the scroll position to x = 0, y = 0 on all navigation.
  • 'enabled'- Restores the previous scroll position on backward navigation, else sets the position to the anchor if one is provided, or sets the scroll position to [0, 0] (forward navigation). This option will be the default in the future.

You can implement custom scroll restoration behavior by adapting the enabled behavior as in the following example.

class App {
  movieData = signal<MovieData | null>(null);
  private router = inject(Router);
  private viewportScroller = inject(ViewportScroller);
  private changeDetectorRef = inject(ChangeDetectorRef);

  constructor() {
   this.router.events.pipe(filter((event: Event): event is Scroll => event instanceof Scroll)
    ).subscribe(e => {
      fetch('http://example.com/movies.json').then(response => {
        this.movieData.set(response.json());

        if (e.position) {
          this.viewportScroller.scrollToPosition(e.position);
        }
      });
    });
  }
}
