Adding a Class on Scroll Event in React JS: A Step-by-Step Guide

When building responsive and interactive web applications, user experience is a top priority. One common feature that enhances user interaction is a navigation bar that responds to scrolling. It can become highlighted or change styles based on the section the user is currently viewing. In this guide, we will explore how to implement this feature using React JS.

The Problem: Responsive Navigation

In your React application, you may have a navigation bar with links to different sections. However, you want to enhance the user experience by making the active link change dynamically based on the scroll position. Imagine how useful that would be for users navigating through long pages!

The Solution: Manage Scroll Events in React

To achieve the desired functionality, we will manage the scroll events and dynamically update the active state of the navigation links. Here’s a breakdown of how to implement this feature step-by-step.

Step 1: Setting Up the State

First, we’ll create a state variable to track which section is currently active. You can initialize this in your component as follows:

[[See Video to Reveal this Text or Code Snippet]]

This variable will help us manage which navigation link to highlight as the user scrolls.

Step 2: Define the onScroll Handler

Next, we need to implement an onScroll event handler that updates the active state based on the scroll position of the page. This handler will check how far the user has scrolled and update the active link as needed:

Step 3: Implementing the Handler

To implement the onScroll handler, you should wrap your navbar in a parent div and attach this event handler. This way, you can listen for scroll events and dynamically update the navigation state.

Here’s an example of how your parent div may look:

Step 4: Updating Navbar Links

In your navbar component, make sure each link checks the activeState to apply the active class. For example:

[[See Video to Reveal this Text or Code Snippet]]

Repeat this check for other sections (e.g., Services, Career, etc.) to ensure that only the current section has the active styling.

Additional Notes

This implementation assumes that each section has a full viewport height to ensure precise scrolling detection.

You can extend the functionality for additional sections by adjusting the conditions in the onScroll handler accordingly. For instance, you can explore further into making the navbar style more sophisticated with CSS transitions or animations for a polished look.

Conclusion

By following these steps, you will create a responsive navigation bar in your React application that updates as users scroll through the page. This feature not only enhances usability but also provides a dynamic and modern look to your application. Go ahead, implement this in your projects, and elevate your web development skills!
