Enable Vertical Scrolling in Your Single Page App with React Router Dom

Navigating through a single-page application (SPA) using React Router Dom can sometimes feel limiting, especially when you want to enable vertical scrolling through multiple components. You might find that instead of smoothly scrolling through your content, you're restricted to viewing just one component at a time. This limitation can hinder user experience and flow. Let’s delve into how to enable vertical scrolling across your components while using React Router Dom.

Understanding the Issue

In your initial setup, your app was able to display all the components one below the other, allowing for smooth vertical scrolling. However, when you introduced routing, you noticed a change:

Problem: Only one component is visible based on the URL path you navigate to. For instance, if you navigate to /about, you only see the About component and cannot scroll to other sections like Statement or Contact.

This happens because React Router is designed to display one route at a time, which is great for navigating between different views, but not ideal for a seamless scrollable experience through content.

Proposed Solution

To overcome the issue and maintain your single-page application's functionality, consider this effective approach:

Step 1: Structure Your App for Scrolling

Instead of heavily relying on routing to separate content, you can set your components to be rendered in a vertical flow. Here's a structured way to achieve this:

Keep your initial rendering logic: Render all your components directly in your App.js without using Route components for scrolling purposes.

Step 2: Create ID References for Navigation

You will modify your components by adding unique IDs to each one. This modification allows you to reference these sections directly via anchor links in the navigation component.

Example Code:

Step 3: Explanation of Changes

Rendering: All components, About, Statement, and Contact, are now rendered together, allowing vertical scrolling.

Navigation with IDs: The <Navigation /> component contains links that direct users to specific sections via IDs, enabling easy navigation within the same page.

Final Thoughts

By keeping your components organized vertically and using in-page navigation, users can scroll through your single-page application seamlessly. This approach enhances usability while maintaining the benefits of having distinct content sections. Don't hesitate to play around with styles and layouts to further improve your SPA's appearance and user experience. Happy coding!
