Smoothly Scroll Elements Into View - jQuery Smart Scroll

Smart Scroll is a small jQuery smooth scroll plugin which smoothly scrolls page sections into view by clicking the anchor links.

Also provides a scrollspy functionality that automatically highlights the active anchor link when the corresponding page section is scrolled into view.

Suitable for modern one page website & single page web application.

How to use it:

1. Add page sections to the webpage. Note that each section must have a unique ID as follows:

<div id="page1">Page 1</div>
<div id="page2">Page 2</div>
<div id="page3">Page 3</div>
<div id="page4">Page 4</div>
<div id="page5">Page 5</div>
...

2. Create nav links pointing to the page sections.

<nav>
  <ul>
    <li><a href="#!" data-scroll="page1">Page 1</a></li>
    <li><a href="#!" data-scroll="#page2">Page 2</a></li>
    <li><a href="#!" data-scroll="page3">Page 3</a></li>
    <li><a href="#!" data-scroll="#page4">Page 4</a></li>
    <li><a href="#!" data-scroll="page5">Page 5</a></li>
  </ul>
</nav>

3. Initialize the plugin and done..

(function ($) {
  "use strict";
  smartScroll.init({
    // all parameters are optional
})(jQuery);

4. Apply custom styles to the active menu item.

nav ul li.active {
  border-bottom: 2px solid dodgerblue
}

5. Customize the scrolling speed in milliseconds. Default: 500ms.

smartScroll.init({
  speed: 1000
})

6. Enable/disable the scrollspy functionality.

smartScroll.init({
  addActive: true, // default true
  activeClass: "active", // default active
})

7. Customize the distance from the top after scrolling. Default: 100px.

smartScroll.init({
  offset: 50
})
