Usages

Easy for using, syntax just like this:

scrollSpy(menuElement, options)

This little plugin will add active class into your existing menu item when you scroll your page to a matched section by ID. If you are giving it a try, make sure that you: 1. Added CSS for active class in your menu item. Because this plugin doesn't include CSS. 2. Added ID for your sections. Example: <section id="first-section">...</section> 3. Added an attribute which is a section ID into your menu items. The default value is href. Example: "href"="#first-section". You also replace href with the other name by hrefAttribute in options.

Arguments

1. The menuElement is a query selector for your menu. It is String or HTMLElement instance.
2. The options is optional. It types of Object contains the properties below:

ES6 example

import scrollSpy from 'simple-scrollspy'

const options = {
  sectionClass: '.scrollspy',           // Query selector to your sections
  menuActiveTarget: '.menu-item',       // Query selector to your elements that will be added `active` class
  offset: 100,                          // Menu item will active before scroll to a matched section 100px
  scrollContainer: '.scroll-container', // Listen scroll behavior on `.scroll-container` instead of `window`
}

// init:
scrollSpy(document.getElementById('main-menu'), options)

// or shorter:
scrollSpy('#main-menu', options)

Inject static file

<script src="/path/to/dist/simple-scrollspy.min.js"></script>
<script>
  window.onload = function () {
    scrollSpy('#main-menu', {
      sectionClass: '.scrollspy',
      menuActiveTarget: '.menu-item',
      offset: 100,
      // smooth scroll
      smoothScroll: true,
      smoothScrollBehavior: function(element) {
        console.log('run "smoothScrollBehavior"...', element)

  // ....,

  // enable smooth scroll:
  // - true: enable with the default scroll behavior
  // - false: disable this feature
  // - object: enable with some options that will pass to `Element.scrollIntoView` or `smoothScrollBehavior`
  //   + Default behavior: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Element/scrollIntoView

  smoothScroll: true,

  // customize scroll behavior,
  // - default: Element.scrollIntoView({ ...smoothScroll, behavior: 'smooth' })
