I have a div
holding some chat history. I would like for the div
content to scroll when it becomes full. I have this working using jQuery in another p
If you're using an AngularDart component you can inject the shadowdom then select an element inside it to focus on. Didnt find a way of getting the container of the shadowdom.
new Future.delayed(new Duration(milliseconds: 300), () {
var rowElement = _shadowRoot.querySelector('.step-container');
if (rowElement != null ) {
rowElement.scrollIntoView(ScrollAlignment.TOP);
}
});
ShadowDom.host might work, though its currently marked as experimental.
EDIT
I published a package containing this directive: http://pub.dartlang.org/packages/bwu_angular
-------
I would create a Directive/Decorator like NgEventDirective
but for the resize event and add it to your div. In the event handler you set your scrollTop
property.
I found contradictory info about the resize event.
Onresize for div elements? is a workaround for browsers that don't support this event.
another page covering this topic: http://marcj.github.io/css-element-queries/
I tried to create an Angular implementation for the 'workaround' (2nd link) but run into this issue https://code.google.com/p/dart/issues/detail?id=18062 which contains info about a workaround but I didn't yet find time to implement it.
EDIT
I checked my attempt and it worked in Dartium with the version I downloaded today (Dart VM version: 1.4.0-dev.4.0 (Thu May 1 04:06:09 2014) on "linux_x64"). I haven't tried in other version since I created the issue.
(The code should be improved to make the directive more generic - the event method should be assignable by an attribute not hardcoded)

For the first issue you can use Timer.run to defer the scroll execution :
Timer.run(() => elt.scrollTop = elt.scrollHeight);
For the second issue you can inject the Element managed by your controller and use querySelector
on it :
MyController(Element e) : elt = e.querySelector('.chatHistory');
