skrollr plugin for hash navigation

skrollr-menu 0.1.5

skrollr plugin for hash navigation.

Documentation

In case you want to use hash links, e.g. <a href="#section-about">About</a> you need to know the following:

• If you animate top, margin-top or anything that moves the element up/down, the browser won't be able to jump to the correct position and you may end up somewhere else
• If you're using skrollr on mobile they won't work at all, because we're not using native scrolling there

But we've got you covered. Download the dist/skrollr.menu.min.js file and include it right after the skrollr.min.js file. Then you need to call skrollr.menu.init(s) passing the skrollr instance as first parameter and optionally some options. Here's a full example.

var s = skrollr.init(/*other stuff*/);

//The options (second parameter) are all optional. The values shown are the default values.
skrollr.menu.init(s, {
	//skrollr will smoothly animate to the new position using `animateTo`.
	animate: true,

	//The easing function to use.
	easing: 'sqrt',

	//How long the animation should take in ms.
	duration: function(currentTop, targetTop) {
		//By default, the duration is hardcoded at 500ms.
		return 500;

		//But you could calculate a value based on the current scroll position (`currentTop`) and the target scroll position (`targetTop`).
		//return Math.abs(currentTop - targetTop) * 10;
	},
});

And in order to fix the problem with the wrong offset, you are able to specify the target scroll position right at the link, e.g.

<a href="#section-about" data-menu-top="500">About</a>

This link will cause the page to scroll to 500. But you should let the the href point to the actual target because if skrollr or js are disabled, the links will still work.

Offsets

When you don't want the target element to be perfectly aligned with the top of the viewport (that's what the browser does), then you can use data-menu-offset on the target element to specify an offset from the top.

For example when you have a fixed navigation with a height of 100px, then you probably want skrollr-menu to put the element at least 100px from the top in order to not disappear behind the nav.

<section id="kittens" data-menu-offset="-100">
    <h1>If it fits, I sits</h1>
    <p>Some text about felines (the internet loves felines).</p>
</section>

Note how the offset is negative, because we want to scroll down 100px less than normal. Or in other words, we want to stop 100px before the element. Positive values work the opposite way (scroll farther than usual).
