scroll-restoration-polyfill

Prevent the scroll restoration caused by the popstate event or back/forward buttons. Demo

Warning: it works in Chrome, Safari, and Firefox 46+, but there's no IE/Edge support yet.

Usage

The polyfill has no API. Once included, just use the official API as described on Chrome Developers:

// Prevent the scroll, always
history.scrollRestoration = 'manual';

// Stop preventing the scroll
history.scrollRestoration = 'auto';

Install

Pick your favorite:

<script src="dist/scroll-restoration-polyfill.browser.js"></script>

npm install --save scroll-restoration-polyfill

require('scroll-restoration-polyfill');

import 'scroll-restoration-polyfill';
