Usage

vue

<script setup lang="ts">
import { useScroll } from '@vueuse/core'
import { useTemplateRef } from 'vue'

const el = useTemplateRef<HTMLElement>('el')
const { x, y, isScrolling, arrivedState, directions } = useScroll(el)
</script>

<template>
  <div ref="el" />
</template>

With offsets

const { x, y, isScrolling, arrivedState, directions } = useScroll(el, {
  offset: { top: 30, bottom: 30, right: 30, left: 30 },
})

Setting scroll position

Set the x and y values to make the element scroll to that position.

vue

<script setup lang="ts">
import { useScroll } from '@vueuse/core'
import { useTemplateRef } from 'vue'

const el = useTemplateRef<HTMLElement>('el')
const { x, y } = useScroll(el)
</script>

<template>
  <div ref="el" />
  <button @click="x += 10">
    Scroll right 10px
  </button>
  <button @click="y += 10">
    Scroll down 10px
  </button>
</template>

Smooth scrolling

Set behavior: smooth to enable smooth scrolling. The behavior option defaults to auto, which means no smooth scrolling. See the behavior option on window.scrollTo() for more information.

TypeScript

import { useScroll } from '@vueuse/core'
import { useTemplateRef } from 'vue'

const el = useTemplateRef<HTMLElement>('el')
const { x, y } = useScroll(el, { behavior: 'smooth' })

// Or as a `ref`:
const smooth = ref(false)
const behavior = computed(() => smooth.value ? 'smooth' : 'auto')
const { x, y } = useScroll(el, { behavior })

import { useScroll } from '@vueuse/core'
import { useTemplateRef } from 'vue'
const el = useTemplateRef('el')
const { x, y } = useScroll(el, { behavior: 'smooth' })
// Or as a `ref`:
const smooth = ref(false)
const behavior = computed(() => (smooth.value ? 'smooth' : 'auto'))
const { x, y } = useScroll(el, { behavior })

Recalculate scroll state

You can call the measure() method to manually update the scroll position and arrivedState at any time.

This is useful, for example, after dynamic content changes or when you want to recalculate the scroll state outside of scroll events.

TypeScript

import { useScroll } from '@vueuse/core'
import { nextTick, onMounted, useTemplateRef, watch } from 'vue'

const el = useTemplateRef<HTMLElement>('el')
const reactiveValue = shallowRef(false)

const { measure } = useScroll(el)

// In a watcher
watch(reactiveValue, () => {
  measure()
})

// Or inside any function
function updateScrollState() {
  // ...some logic
  nextTick(() => {
    measure()
  })
}

import { useScroll } from '@vueuse/core'
import { nextTick, useTemplateRef, watch } from 'vue'
const el = useTemplateRef('el')
const reactiveValue = shallowRef(false)
const { measure } = useScroll(el)
// In a watcher
watch(reactiveValue, () => {
  measure()
})
// Or inside any function
function updateScrollState() {
  // ...some logic
  nextTick(() => {
    measure()
  })
}

NOTE

it's recommended to call measure() inside nextTick(), to ensure the DOM is updated first. The scroll state is initialized automatically onMount. You only need to call measure() manually if you want to recalculate the state after some dynamic changes.

Directive Usage

This function also provides a directive version via the @vueuse/components package. Learn more about the usage.

vue

<script setup lang="ts">
import type { UseScrollReturn } from '@vueuse/core'
import { vScroll } from '@vueuse/components'

const data = ref([1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6])

function onScroll(state: UseScrollReturn) {
  console.log(state) // {x, y, isScrolling, arrivedState, directions}
}
</script>

<template>
  <div v-scroll="onScroll">
    <div v-for="item in data" :key="item">
      {{ item }}
    </div>
  </div>

  <!-- with options -->
  <div v-scroll="[onScroll, { throttle: 10 }]">
    <div v-for="item in data" :key="item">
      {{ item }}
    </div>
  </div>
</template>
