Achieve Smooth Scrolling Between Two React Components on Button Click: A How-To Guide

When developing React applications, users often expect seamless interactions that enhance their browsing experience. One such interaction is the ability to scroll to different sections of a webpage with a button click. If you're working with multiple components in your React app, this can seem daunting. In this post, we’ll explore a solution to allow scrolling smoothly between two separate React components when a button in one is clicked.

The Problem

Imagine you have two components within a parent component structure, as follows:

Component A: Where the user clicks a button.

Component B: To which the user wants to scroll.

Here’s a simplified version of the setup:

You want the click of the button in Component A to scroll down to Component B effectively. You’ve managed to achieve this seamlessly when everything was encapsulated within a single component, but integrating it across separate components poses a new challenge.

Understanding the Solution

To make the scrolling mechanic work across disparate components, we can utilize refs and pass them down as props from the parent component to the respective child components. Here's how to do it step-by-step.

Step 1: Create Refs in the Parent Component

Start by creating references for both components in your parent (Homepage) component. This allows the parent to track the scroll position of each child.

Step 2: Set Up the Child Component

In your child component (which can represent either Component A or Component B), you will pass the ref and click function as props.

Step 3: Connecting the Components

Finally, ensure the first child component (let's say Component A) has the button that triggers the scroll functionality by specifying the click handler. Here’s how the entire setup looks.

Conclusion

With this setup, whenever the button in Component A is clicked, the page will smoothly scroll down to Component B. This technique of passing refs and using a click handler enhances the user experience in your web application, creating an intuitive navigation style.

Remember to test these implementations in different scenarios to ensure a smooth and consistent user experience. Happy coding!
