How to Enable Smooth Page Scroll with Draggable Elements in Angular

Are you struggling to implement a smooth scrolling feature in your Angular application when dragging a div? You’re not alone! Many developers encounter difficulties in creating seamless interactions for users. The main challenge here is getting the div to move while also scrolling the page up or down. In this guide, we’ll provide some effective solutions to this problem without relying on jQuery.

Understanding the Problem

When dragging a div element, users often want the webpage to scroll automatically. This becomes especially tricky when your existing code doesn’t seem to facilitate this behavior. For instance, it might scroll down but not upwards, leaving a frustrating experience. Luckily, there are several ways to manage this scrolling behavior using Angular’s built-in features and a bit of JavaScript logic.

Solutions for Smooth Scrolling

1. Enable Scroll Position Restoration

One of the simplest solutions involves enabling scroll position restoration in your Angular routing configuration. This helps ensure that the page scrolls smoothly when navigating through routes.

Implementation Steps:

Open your app-routing.module.ts

Add this configuration to your RouterModule:

This will allow your Angular application to manage the scroll position more effectively.

2. Create a Scroll to Top Function

If the first solution doesn’t resolve the issue, you can create a custom function to handle scrolling to the top of the page. This method can be implemented in any component.

Implementation Steps:

First, import the necessary classes into your component file:

Next, define your class and scroll logic:

3. Use an HTML Element as a Scroll Target

In scenarios where the previous methods don’t work out, you can create a hidden HTML element at the top of your page to use as a scroll target.

Implementation Steps:

Simply add a div in your HTML file as shown below:

Then, within your component, you can scroll to this element after your view initializes:

4. Draggable Logic for Smooth Scrolling

Lastly, if the goal is to actively scroll while dragging, you may need to implement additional JavaScript logic that checks the mouse position and scrolls accordingly.

Example Implementation:
