Smooth scroll utility component
About
This enables smooth scrolling when a user clicks on anchor links or other in-page scrolling is triggered.
Usage
This is an opt-in behaviour that is activated by putting the vf-smooth-scroll class on a parent element — a good place would be at <html class="vf-smooth-scroll"> (note: it probably won't work if you add it your <body> element).
Note that as of Safari version 15.4 (released March 2022), CSS-based smooth scrolling is supported by Safari on Mac OS or iOS.
Accessibility
This component targets WCAG 2.1 AA accessibility.
Generally this improves accessibility by smooth scrolling between content, for some scenarios the behaviour may become distracting.
Note that smooth scrolling is disabled if a user has flagged prefers-reduced-motion.
You can also read about the Visual Framework's approach to accessibility.
