<div x-data x-init="$scrollTo({ targetId: 'AboutContent' })">
  <header x-scroll-to-header class="fixed h-20 top-0 inset-x-0 z-50 ">
    ...
  </header>

  <div>
    <nav>
      <!--
        This will scroll to `#AboutContent` when clicked with smooth scrolling
        disabled and the header height will be offset meaning no overlap
      -->
      <a
        href="#AboutContent"
        x-on:click.prevent="$scrollTo({ offsetHeader: true, useSmooth: false })"
      >
        About
      </a>

      <!--
        This will scroll to `#TeamContent` when clicked with smooth scrolling
        enabled but the header height will not be offset meaning overlap
      -->
      <a href="#TeamContent" x-on:click.prevent="$scrollTo"> Team </a>
    </nav>

    <div class="my-[100vh]">
      <div id="AboutContent"> About </div>

      <div id="TeamContent"> Team </div>
    </div>
  </div>
</div>

Options

targetId

This expects the id of an element to scroll to without the #.

Useful for when you aren't triggering the scroll to from an anchor tag.

offsetHeader

By default this is false.

Setting this to true will offset the height of the header element when you scroll. No more overlap!

You target the header element by applying x-scroll-to-header to it.

<header x-scroll-to-header class="fixed h-20 top-0 inset-x-0 z-50">
  ...
</header>

useSmooth

By default this is true.

Setting this to false will remove the smooth scroll, instead it will be instant.
