angular 2 change position to fixed on scroll

Question

I have a left sidebar with position fixed. what I want to achieve is that when I scroll like about 50 or 60 pixel the position of the left sidebar should be changed to fixed.

Left-sidebar.component.ts

import { Component } from '@angular/core';

@Component({
  moduleId: module.id,
  selector: 'left-sidebar',
  templateUrl: 'left-sidebar.html',
  styleUrls: ['left-sidebar.scss']
})
export class LeftSideBarComponent {
}

left-sidebar.html

<div class="col-sm-2 left-nav">

</div>

css

.left-nav {
  position: absolute;
  background: #424242;
  height: 100%;
  overflow: auto;
  padding: 0;
  z-index: 1;
}

How to change position of left sidebar from absolute to fixed on scroll?

If you dont want to code this yourself, ou you can take a look at a lib of mine that solves your problem: https://w11k.github.io/angular-sticky-things/ — CaKa, Sep 04 '18 at 18:53

I suggest you make use of the @HostListner decorator to listen to the scroll event just like this:

 import { Inject, HostListener } from "@angular/core";
 import { DOCUMENT } from "@angular/platform-browser";

     @Component({
         moduleId: module.id,
         selector: 'left-sidebar',
         templateUrl: 'left-sidebar.html',
         styleUrls: ['left-sidebar.scss']
     })

  export class LeftSideBarComponent {
         public fixed: boolean = false; 

         constructor(@Inject(DOCUMENT) private doc: Document) {}

         @HostListener("window:scroll", [])
         onWindowScroll() {
            let num = this.doc.body.scrollTop;
            if ( num > 50 ) {
                this.fixed = true;
            }else if (this.fixed && num < 5) {
                this.fixed = false;
            }
         }

add the .fixed css to your scss file then in your template, you do the following:

<div class="col-sm-2 left-nav" [class.fixed]="fixed">

</div>

A passive event listener would be better (scroll jank), but @HostListener does not yet support this. — Christophe Geers, Dec 14 '18 at 12:09

I'm using Angular 4 and that solution didn't worked out for me, I tried a different aproach, because num was returning 0 on scroll. ¯_(ツ)_/¯.

I hope this will work out for you as well.

import { Inject, HostListener } from "@angular/core";
    @HostListener("window:scroll", ['$event'])
  onWindowScroll($event:any) {
    let top = window.scrollY;     
    if (top > 30) {
      this.fixed = true;
      console.log(top);
    } else if (this.fixed && top < 5) {
      this.fixed = false;
      console.log(top);
    }
  }

.fixed {
  @extend .bg-white;
  position: fixed;
  top: 80px;
  z-index: 999;
}

<div class="container" [class.fixed]="fixed">
  <div class="row">
    <div class="col-12">
      <div ngbDropdown class="dropdown custom-dropdown">
        <a class="dropdown-toggle" id="dropdownBasic1" ngbDropdownToggle>Toggle dropdown</a>
        <div ngbDropdownMenu aria-labelledby="dropdownBasic1">
          <a class="dropdown-item">Action - 1</a>
          <a class="dropdown-item">Another Action</a>
          <a class="dropdown-item">Something else is here</a>
        </div>
      </div>
    </div>
  </div>
</div>
