scrollTo

scrollTo lets you synchronously scroll to a given X or Y offset.

Reference​

import { scrollTo } from 'react-native-reanimated';

function App() {
const animatedRef = useAnimatedRef();
const scrollY = useSharedValue(0);

useDerivedValue(() => {
scrollTo(animatedRef, 0, scrollY.value, true);
});

return (
<Animated.ScrollView ref={animatedRef}>{/* ... */}</Animated.ScrollView>
);
}

Type definitions

function scrollTo<T extends Component>(
animatedRef: AnimatedRef<T>,
x: number,
y: number,
animated: boolean
): void;

Arguments​

animatedRef​

An animated ref connected to the ScrollView (or other scrollable) component you'd want to scroll on. The animated ref has to be passed either to an Animated component or a React Native built-in component.

x​

Value in pixels to scroll to on the horizontal X axis.

y​

Value in pixels to scroll to on the vertical Y axis.

animated​

Whether the scroll should be smooth (true) or instant (false).

Returns​

scrollTo returns undefined.

Example​

Loading...

Remarks​

  • The scrollTo function can only be called from the UI thread.
  • Supports Animated.FlatList.
  • Usually works with other ScrollView-like and FlatList-like components if they use a ScrollView under the hood and are made animated.
  • Scrollable components must implement getNativeScrollRef method to be compatible with scrollTo.
