Scrollspy is a jQuery plugin that tracks certain elements and which element the user's screen is currently centered on. Our main demo of this is our table of contents on every documentation page to the right. Clicking on these links will also scroll the page to that element.


  <div class="row">
    <div class="col s12 m9 l10">
      <div id="introduction" class="section scrollspy">
        <p>Content </p>
      </div>

      <div id="structure" class="section scrollspy">
        <p>Content </p>
      </div>

      <div id="initialization" class="section scrollspy">
        <p>Content </p>
      </div>
    </div>
    <div class="col hide-on-small-only m3 l2">
      <ul class="section table-of-contents">
        <li><a href="#introduction">Introduction</a></li>
        <li><a href="#structure">Structure</a></li>
        <li><a href="#initialization">Intialization</a></li>
      </ul>
    </div>
  </div>
        

Initialization


  document.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', function() {
    var elems = document.querySelectorAll('.scrollspy');
    var instances = M.ScrollSpy.init(elems, options);
  });

  // Or with jQuery

  $(document).ready(function(){
    $('.scrollspy').scrollSpy();
  });
        

Options

Name Type Default Description
throttle Number 100 Throttle of scroll handler.
scrollOffset Number 200 Offset for centering element when scrolled to.
activeClass String 'active' Class applied to active elements.
getActiveElement Function Used to find active element.

getActiveElement
This is the default function used for finding the active element where id is the id of the scrollspy element. It returns a CSS selector of the element you want marked active.

  function(id) {
    return 'a[href="#' + id + '"]';
  }
        

Methods

Because jQuery is no longer a dependency, all the methods are called on the plugin instance. You can get the plugin instance like this:


  var instance = M.ScrollSpy.getInstance(elem);

  /* jQuery Method Calls
    You can still use the old jQuery plugin method calls.
    But you won't be able to access instance properties.

    $('.scrollspy').scrollSpy('methodName');
  */
          
.destroy();

Destroy plugin instance and teardown


instance.destroy();
        

Properties

Name Type Description
el Element The DOM element the plugin was initialized with.
options Object The options the instance was initialized with.
