akrolis pro asked 9 months ago


Expected behavior

SmoothScroll woking inside a scrollable modal

Actual behavior

It does't scroll inside the modal

Resources (screenshots, code snippets etc.)

SmoothScroll Example: https://mdbootstrap.com/docs/b4/angular/advanced/scroll/#smooth-scroll-section

Inside modal-body of scrollable BasicModal: https://mdbootstrap.com/docs/b4/angular/modals/basic/#s-basic-example

It doesn't scroll with neither modal-dialog-scrollable nor overflow-y: scroll style

<button type="button" mdbBtn color="primary" class="relative waves-light" (click)="basicModal.show()" mdbWavesEffect>Launch demo modal</button>
<div mdbModal #basicModal="mdbModal" class="modal fade" tabindex="-1" role="dialog" aria-labelledby="myBasicModalLabel" aria-hidden="true">

In this case you would need to change the scrolling container to the modal body element. To do that, you need to use the service that the directive uses under the hood. Here is an example (I slightly modified the modal-body HTML code):

HTML:

  <div class="modal-body" #container>
      <!--Navigation links with a Smooth SCroll effect-->
      <ul class="list-unstyled">
        <li>
          <h5><a href="javascript:void(0)" (click)="scrollToFirstSection()">Click to scroll to section 1</a></h5>
        </li>
        <br>
        <li>
          <h5><a href="javascript:void(0)" (click)="scrollToSecondSection()">Click to scroll to section 2</a></h5>
        </li>
        <br>
      </ul>
      ...
  </div>

TS:

  @ViewChild('container') container: ElementRef;

  constructor(@Inject(DOCUMENT) private document: any, private pageScrollService: PageScrollService) {}

  scrollToFirstSection() {
    const pageScrollInstance: PageScrollInstance = PageScrollInstance.newInstance({
      document: this.document,
      scrollTarget: '#test1',
      scrollingViews: [this.container.nativeElement],
    });
    this.pageScrollService.start(pageScrollInstance);
  }

  scrollToSecondSection() {
    const pageScrollInstance: PageScrollInstance = PageScrollInstance.newInstance({
      document: this.document,
      scrollTarget: '#test2',
      scrollingViews: [this.container.nativeElement]
    });
    this.pageScrollService.start(pageScrollInstance);
  }

You can still use options like pageScrollDuration, just add the option configuration to the PageScrollInstance object.
