v14.0.0-beta.1

[MurhafSousli]

The core package has been written from scratch ✨

• feat: Significant performance improvement, the scrollbar does not rely on the scroll event anymore.
  updating scroll thumb position is done via native CSS which means the calculation is done on the browser background worker.
• feat: Auto-height feature is default now, the component behaves like a standard HTML element and will fit its content out of the box.
• feat: Mimic the scroll behavior when the track is clicked.
• feat: Allow dragging scrollbar on mobile, replacing mouse events with pointer events.
• feat: Add cdkVirtualScrollViewport directive to the util package.
• feat: Add matSelectViewport directive to the util package, closes #537.
• feat: Add scrollTimelinePolyfill option to change the path of scroll timeline polyfill.
• enhance: Add payload to differentiate update cause, closes #517.
• enhance: Use throttleTime instead of debounceTime in case resize sensor needed to be throttled.
• fix: scrollbar disappearing on Firefox/Safari when reaching bottom/end, closes #529.
• fix: scroll position when the track is clicked

Reached events package has been written from scratch ✨

• feat: Use the IntersectionObserver instead of the scroll event to detect when scroll is reached.
• feat: Add reachedTopOffset reachedBottomOffset reachedStartOffset and reachedEndOffset in addition to reachedOffset input.
• feat: Alternatively, you can accomplish the same using the new CSS variables --reached-offset, --reached-offset-top, --reached-offset-bottom, --reached-offset-start and --reached-offset-end.
• fix: Scrolled Event triggered after Reached Event, closes #521.
• fix: reachedBottom output broke scrollbar layout inside mat-select, closes #531.

Breaking changes

• Options renamed:

  • sensorDisabled has been renamed to disableSensor
  • sensorDebounce has been renamed to sensorThrottleTime
  • pointerEventsDisabled has been renamed to disableInteraction
  • trackClickScrollDuration has been renamed to trackClickDuration
  • (updated) has been renamed to (afterUpdate)

• Options removed:

  • disabled option has been removed.
  • viewClass option has been removed.
  • minThumbSize option has been removed, use the css variable instead --scrollbar-thumb-min-size.
  • autoWidthDisabled has been removed.
  • autoHeightDisabled option has been removed.
  • autoWidthDisabled option has been removed.
  • scrollAuditTime option has been removed since the scroll event is no longer used.
  • windowResizeDebounce has been removed from the global options.
  • The stream NgScrollbar.scrolled has been removed, Use NgScrollbar.viewport.nativeElement to listen to the scroll event.

• Usage changes:

When viewport directive is used, it requires externalViewport attribute on the component like the following example:

<ng-scrollbar externalViewport>
  <div scrollViewport>
    ...
  </div>
</ng-scrollbar>

Note that an additional content wrapper element is required in order for the scrollbar to work properly.

Additionally, you can select the viewport by providing a selector .my-viewport instead of using scrollViewport directive.

<ng-scrollbar externalViewport=".my-viewport">
  <div class="my-viewport">
    ...
  </div>
</ng-scrollbar>

Is there any way to disable ngScrollbar component after removing the disabled option?

[MurhafSousli]

Nope, it's gone.
