fargo 1a822493ba format: apply repo prettier (3.8.1) to the folded skills tree
963 markdown files reformatted with the repository's pinned prettier so
pnpm format:check covers the folded tree like every other repo file.

The formatter's embedded-language pass also normalized code fences
(TS semicolons, closed HTML tags in examples, lowercased CSS hex colors,
one renumbered list that skipped an index). Alphanumeric token deltas vs
the fold commit were audited file-by-file; all are formatter-equivalent
markup normalizations plus the four sanitized skills.

useScroll

Reactive scroll position and state.

Usage

<script setup lang="ts">
import { useScroll } from '@vueuse/core';
import { useTemplateRef } from 'vue';

const el = useTemplateRef('el');
const { x, y, isScrolling, arrivedState, directions } = useScroll(el);
</script>

<template>
  <div ref="el" />
</template>

With offsets

import { useScroll } from '@vueuse/core';
// ---cut---
const { x, y, isScrolling, arrivedState, directions } = useScroll(el, {
  offset: { top: 30, bottom: 30, right: 30, left: 30 },
});

Setting scroll position

Set the x and y values to make the element scroll to that position.

<script setup lang="ts">
import { useScroll } from '@vueuse/core';
import { useTemplateRef } from 'vue';

const el = useTemplateRef('el');
const { x, y } = useScroll(el);
</script>

<template>
  <div ref="el" />
  <button @click="x += 10">Scroll right 10px</button>
  <button @click="y += 10">Scroll down 10px</button>
</template>

Smooth scrolling

Set behavior: smooth to enable smooth scrolling. The behavior option defaults to auto, which means no smooth scrolling. See the behavior option on window.scrollTo() for more information.

import { useScroll } from '@vueuse/core';
import { useTemplateRef } from 'vue';

const el = useTemplateRef('el');
const { x, y } = useScroll(el, { behavior: 'smooth' });

// Or as a `ref`:
const smooth = ref(false);
const behavior = computed(() => (smooth.value ? 'smooth' : 'auto'));
const { x, y } = useScroll(el, { behavior });

Recalculate scroll state

You can call the measure() method to manually update the scroll position and arrivedState at any time.

This is useful, for example, after dynamic content changes or when you want to recalculate the scroll state outside of scroll events.

import { useScroll } from '@vueuse/core';
import { nextTick, onMounted, useTemplateRef, watch } from 'vue';

const el = useTemplateRef('el');
const reactiveValue = shallowRef(false);

const { measure } = useScroll(el);

// In a watcher
watch(reactiveValue, () => {
  measure();
});

// Or inside any function
function updateScrollState() {
  // ...some logic
  nextTick(() => {
    measure();
  });
}

Note

it's recommended to call measure() inside nextTick(), to ensure the DOM is updated first. The scroll state is initialized automatically onMount. You only need to call measure() manually if you want to recalculate the state after some dynamic changes.

Directive Usage

<script setup lang="ts">
import type { UseScrollReturn } from '@vueuse/core';
import { vScroll } from '@vueuse/components';

const data = ref([1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6]);

function onScroll(state: UseScrollReturn) {
  console.log(state); // {x, y, isScrolling, arrivedState, directions}
}
</script>

<template>
  <div v-scroll="onScroll">
    <div v-for="item in data" :key="item">
      {{ item }}
    </div>
  </div>

  <!-- with options -->
  <div v-scroll="[onScroll, { throttle: 10 }]">
    <div v-for="item in data" :key="item">
      {{ item }}
    </div>
  </div>
</template>
