Scroll with arrow keys on dropdown - vuejs
I know it may be old but you could scroll using scrollIntoView
fixScrolling() {
currentElement.scrollIntoView({ behavior: 'smooth', block: 'nearest', inline: 'start' });
},
You need a function to check the position of the current element and move the scroll container if needed, there's also a problem with the arrowDown function:
<ul ... ref="scrollContainer" ... >
...
<li ref="options" ... >
...
</ul>
onArrowDown(ev) {
ev.preventDefault()
if (this.arrowCounter < this.results.length-1) { <--- HERE NEED -1
this.arrowCounter = this.arrowCounter + 1;
this.fixScrolling();
}
},
onArrowUp(ev) {
ev.preventDefault()
if (this.arrowCounter > 0) {
this.arrowCounter = this.arrowCounter - 1;
this.fixScrolling()
}
},
fixScrolling(){
const liH = this.$refs.options[this.arrowCounter].clientHeight;
this.$refs.scrollContainer.scrollTop = liH * this.arrowCounter;
},
