@joel-wenzel sorry, your PR got stalled. Can you please consider rebasing it?

@posva Can you please confirm if this changes are looking good to you or any change needed?

[fanckush]

Merging this PR would fix the issue nuxt/nuxt#13284 btw

@joel-wenzel sorry, your PR got stalled. Can you please consider rebasing it?

@pi0 No problem. Rebased. Should be all good now

[joel-wenzel]

@pi0 I merged instead of rebase. If you would rather I make a new branch/PR let me know

When will it be merged? Current Nuxt 3 page link behaviour is counter-intuitive because page sticks on current position of previous page.

Update 2022-06-04:
When playing around with Content Wind I noticed that scroll behaviour was as expected. So I checked for a custom router configuration et voila:

import type { RouterConfig } from '@nuxt/schema'
// https://router.vuejs.org/api/#routeroptions
export default <RouterConfig>{
scrollBehavior (to, _, savedPosition) {
const nuxtApp = useNuxtApp()
// If history back
if (savedPosition) {
// Handle Suspense resolution
return new Promise((resolve) => {
nuxtApp.hooks.hookOnce('page:finish', () => {
setTimeout(() => resolve(savedPosition), 50)
})
})
}
// Scroll to heading on click
if (to.hash) {
setTimeout(() => {
const heading = document.querySelector(to.hash) as any
return window.scrollTo({
top: heading.offsetTop,
behavior: 'smooth'
})
})
return
}
// Scroll to top of window
return { top: 0 }
}
}

This might also solve your problems with latest plain Nuxt 3 apps.

The problem of this, at least in content-wind, is that the scroll starts when the next page has yet to be mounted

Any updates?

Any updates?

I am waiting until I hear from the core team before fixing merge conflicts. I have fixed them 3 or 4 times now only to become outdated again

Hi @joel-wenzel. Sorry, it took long on your pull request. I was mainly waiting for @posva's take about the possibility of moving this to the vue-router core. If you can rebase your PR I can locally test and merge to iterate.

[pi0]

Heads up @danielroe we are calling page:finish in nextTick by this PR

[pi0]

Thank you so much for working on this @joel-wenzel and sorry it took long to land!

I've made a few refactors and fixes on top of your work.

Hello @pi0, I've updated to rc.13 today but the scroll behaviour do not work correctly. When I navigate back, the scroll doesn't go to the save position but it's reset instead.
The problem cause by this line in file: packages/nuxt/src/pages/runtime/router.options.ts
const hasTransition = to.meta.pageTransition !== false && from.meta.pageTransition !== false;
to.meta.pageTransition was undefined so the strict equal not work in here.

[danielroe]

This should be resolved in the edge channel, or in the next RC.

Let me know if not.
