Reagent (React.js) messes up the scrolling position about reagent

[holmsand]

Hi, sorry it took so long for me to reply.

React and Reagent don't do anything explicitly to the scroll position, so they are completely at the mercy of what the browser does when you delete/add stuff in the DOM.

If the browser doesn't behave, you could certainly use the :component-did-mount callback to keep track of scrolling. You would probably have to use :component-did-update as well (that will be called whenever a component is re-rendered).

I can't see any way that Reagent could do that automatically (after all, the browser itself is supposed to keep the scroll position where it should be, and if it doesn't succeed it is probably A Hard Problem to solve...).

But if you have a more concrete example, I'm always happy to be proven wrong :)

Thanks, I'll post here again if I find something that could be incorporated in reagent.

By the way, is there a mailing-list/forum/channel/email for 'light' questions?

+1 for mailing list.

See, if we had a mailing list I could let you know that this works well with Reagent. :-p
