When you use
native smooth scrolling
Show archive.org snapshot
there is no built-in method to detect the end of the scrolling animation. Methods like
scrollTo()

don't return a promise. We may eventually get a
scrollend

event, but that is still
some time away

.
Until then I'm using the following awaitScrollEnd() function as a workaround. It returns a promise that resolves when the given Document or Element does not receive a scroll event for 75 milliseconds:
import debounce from 'lodash-es/debounce'
function awaitScrollEnd(viewport, delay = 75) {
return new Promise((resolve) => {
function done() {
viewport.removeEventListener('scroll', debouncedDone)
resolve()
}
// We consider scrolling to have stopped after we haven't received
// a `scroll` event for `delay` milliseconds.
//
// The default delay (75) assumes a minimum framerate of ~13 FPS
// while scrolling.
let debouncedDone = debounce(done, delay)
viewport.addEventListener('scroll', debouncedDone, { passive: true })
debouncedDone()
})
}
Use it after you started a native scrolling motion:
element.scrollIntoView({ behavior: 'smooth' })
await awaitScrollEnd(document)
