Forcing scroll down

When your DOM element or its parent is hidden auto scroll won't work. There is no simple/pure way to scroll hidden element. The best way is to force scrolling down after the element is shown.

@Component({
   selector: 'sample',
   directives: [NgxAutoScroll]
})
export class SampleComponent {
    @ViewChild(NgxAutoScroll) ngxAutoScroll: NgxAutoScroll;
    
    public forceScrollDown(): void {
        this.ngxAutoScroll.forceScrollDown();
    }
}
