Referencing an object in an array by parsing it to the function-CodePudding

I want to improve my scrolling code. I have the following working code...

  const scrollRef = [];
  const scrollClick = (event) => {    
    console.log(scrollRef[1]);
    scrollRef[1].scrollIntoView(); 
  }

The above works using...

<button onClick={scrollClick}>Bottom Of Page</button>

which scrolls to ...

<div ref={(ref) => { scrollRef[1] = ref }}>  Bottom of page </div>

What I want to do is call the particular reference point in the scrollRef[x] array from the button instead, for example...

<button onClick={scrollClick[1]}>Bottom Of Page </button>

CodePudding user response：

To strictly answer your question following your current code and logic, you could do something such as the following:

const scrollClick = (index) => {
  scrollRef[index].scrollIntoView(); 
}

With the button rendered with:

<button onClick={() => scrollClick(1)}>Bottom Of Page </button>

(Assuming scrollClick[1] is a typo) When passing onClick, you are passing a callback - if you pass a function call directly (i.e. myFunc(someValue) and not () => myFunc(someValue)) then myFunc will executed on render - the return value of it being set as the onClick handler.
