really-smooth-scroll

Live Demo

This is it. I have been looking for libraries, shims and tricks for smooth scrolling for way too long on the Internet. And none actually provides the smoothness that I want. THIS ENDS NOW. (However, this shim only takes effect in desktop browsers, not yet supported for mobile browsers. But soon it will. )

This shim overrides browser's window.scrollTo function. Instead of jumping immediately, it smoothly scrolls to the scroll position (Check demo). If you want the use the old behavior, use window.oldScrollTo.

The magic algorithm is based on the spring animation in react-motion. Wanna see why it's awesome?

Install

npm install --save really-smooth-scroll
# or if you use yarn
yarn add really-smooth-scroll

Usage

const ReallySmoothScroll = require('really-smooth-scroll');
// or
// import ReallySmoothScroll from 'really-smooth-scroll';

ReallySmoothScroll.shim();
// Done. Coundn't be easier.

// If you want to adjust the scrolling sensitivity (Optional)
ReallySmoothScroll.config({
  mousewheelSensitivity: 6, // Default
  keydownSensitivity: 6 // Default (When you press arrow down/up key)
});
