Class LocationService

constructor

• new LocationService(options?: Options): LocationService

• Register to page changes, target-pointer changes or to (re)scroll to the current pointer in view.

  The LocationService manages global pointer states and scroll position:

  • the "current pointer" tracks the currently focused editor and
  • the "page pointer" corresponds to the first property of "current pointer", which may be used for main page loading

  Motivation

  Jumping to specific editors via the navigation requires a targeting system. A page reload may occur for a called anchor, and thus is scrolled into view async. In other cases the current view may be completely rebuilt which resets the scroll position to top. A stored pointer (current) may be used to retrieve the scroll position. named anchors fail when hash routes are present. Thus anchors are processed via javascript.

  Parameters

  • options: Options = ...

  Returns LocationService
