I want to build a chat system and automatically scroll to the bottom when entering the window and when new messages come in. How do you automatically scroll to the bottom of

The easiest and best way I would recommend is.

My ReactJS version: 16.12.0

For Class Components

HTML structure inside render() function

    render()
        return(
            <body>
                <div ref="messageList">
                    <div>Message 1</div>
                    <div>Message 2</div>
                    <div>Message 3</div>
                </div>
            </body>
        )
    )

scrollToBottom() function which will get reference of the element. and scroll according to scrollIntoView() function.

  scrollToBottom = () => {
    const { messageList } = this.refs;
    messageList.scrollIntoView({behavior: "smooth", block: "end", inline: "nearest"});
  }

and call the above function inside componentDidMount() and componentDidUpdate()

For Functional Components (Hooks)

Import useRef() and useEffect()

import { useEffect, useRef } from 'react'

Inside your export function, (same as calling a useState())

const messageRef = useRef();

And let's assume you have to scroll when page load,

useEffect(() => {
    if (messageRef.current) {
      messageRef.current.scrollIntoView(
        {
          behavior: 'smooth',
          block: 'end',
          inline: 'nearest'
        })
    }
  })

OR if you want it to trigger once an action performed,

useEffect(() => {
  if (messageRef.current) {
    messageRef.current.scrollIntoView(
      {
        behavior: 'smooth',
        block: 'end',
        inline: 'nearest'
      })
  }
},
[stateVariable])

And Finally, to your HTML structure

return(
    <body>
        <div ref={messageRef}> // <= The only different is we are calling a variable here
            <div>Message 1</div>
            <div>Message 2</div>
            <div>Message 3</div>
        </div>
    </body>
)

Do not use findDOMNode

Class components with ref

class MyComponent extends Component {
  componentDidMount() {
    this.scrollToBottom();
  }

  componentDidUpdate() {
    this.scrollToBottom();
  }

  scrollToBottom() {
    this.el.scrollIntoView({ behavior: 'smooth' });
  }

  render() {
    return <div ref={el => { this.el = el; }} />
  }
}

Function components with hooks:

import React, { useRef, useEffect } from 'react';

const MyComponent = () => {
  const divRref = useRef(null);

  useEffect(() => {
    divRef.current.scrollIntoView({ behavior: 'smooth' });
  });

  return <div ref={divRef} />;
}

I could not get any of below answers to work but simple js did the trick for me:
```
  window.scrollTo({
  top: document.body.scrollHeight,
  left: 0,
  behavior: 'smooth'
});
```

Working Example:

You can use the DOM scrollIntoView method to make a component visible in the view.

For this, while rendering the component just give a reference ID for the DOM element using ref attribute. Then use the method scrollIntoView on componentDidMount life cycle. I am just putting a working sample code for this solution. The following is a component rendering each time a message received. You should write code/methods for rendering this component.
```
class ChatMessage extends Component {
    scrollToBottom = (ref) => {
        this.refs[ref].scrollIntoView({ behavior: "smooth" });
    }

    componentDidMount() {
        this.scrollToBottom(this.props.message.MessageId);
    }

    render() {
        return(
            <div ref={this.props.message.MessageId}>
                <div>Message content here...</div>
            </div>
        );
    }
}
```
Here this.props.message.MessageId is the unique ID of the particular chat message passed as props

Using React.createRef()

class MessageBox extends Component {
        constructor(props) {
            super(props)
            this.boxRef = React.createRef()
        }

        scrollToBottom = () => {
            this.boxRef.current.scrollTop = this.boxRef.current.scrollHeight
        }

        componentDidUpdate = () => {
            this.scrollToBottom()
        }

        render() {
            return (
                        <div ref={this.boxRef}></div>
                    )
        }
}
