Bootstrap 4 Smart Scroll

by

I’m using this basic tutorial to show/hide a standard BS4 navbar on scroll, and it works great for desktop.

However, on mobile the navbar is acting a little strange when scrolling down, then going back to the top. Once back to the top, the navbar hides again.

I suspect the issue has something to do with scrollTop() but can’t seem to troubleshoot this one.

Here’s my JS:

    if ($('.smart-scroll').length > 0) { // check if element exists
        var last_scroll_top = 0;
        $(window).on('scroll', function() {
            var scroll_top = $(this).scrollTop();
            if(scroll_top < last_scroll_top) {
                $('.smart-scroll').removeClass('scrolled-down').addClass('scrolled-up');
            } else {
                $('.smart-scroll').removeClass('scrolled-up').addClass('scrolled-down');
            }
            last_scroll_top = scroll_top;
            /* Tried to catch for scroll_top zero, but doesn't help */
            if(scroll_top == 0) $('.smart-scroll').removeClass('scrolled-up');

        });
    }

And, here’s my CSS:

.smart-scroll {
    position: fixed !important;
    top: 0;
    right: 0;
    left: 0;
    z-index: 1000;
    transition: all 0.3s ease-in-out;
}
.scrolled-down {transform:translateY(-100%);}
.scrolled-up {transform:translateY(0);}

I also tried incorporating this stackoverflow and still couldn’t get it working.

Any ideas to get this operational on mobile?

  1. Had something similar in my practices. Took code from there and adapted to your case.

    if ($('.smart-scroll').length > 0) {

        var lastScrollTop = 0;
        $(window).scroll(function() {    

            var scroll_top = $(window).scrollTop();

            if (scroll_top > 1) { // think, this will work a little bit better to catch scrolltop more then 0(1)
                $(".smart-scroll").addClass("stick");
            } else { 
                $(".smart-scroll").removeClass("stick");
            }

            if (scroll_top > lastScrollTop){
                $(".smart-scroll").removeClass("scrolled-up");                      
            } else {
                $(".smart-scroll").addClass("scrolled-up");
            }                       
            lastScrollTop = st;

    });

}

    And CSS

    .smart-scroll {
    position: fixed !important;
    top: 0;
    right: 0;
    left: 0;
    z-index: 1000;
    transition: all 0.3s ease-in-out;
    transform:translateY(0);
}
.stick {transform:translateY(-100%);}
.scrolled-up {transform:translateY(0) !important;}

  2. I added this below the if/else statement to prevent from hiding at the very top

    if(scroll_top <= 0) {
   $('.headerContainer').removeClass('scrolled-up').removeClass('scrolled-down');
}
