## Example in navbar

The ScrollSpy plugin is for automatically updating nav targets based on scroll position. Scroll the area below the navbar and watch the active class change. The dropdown sub items will be highlighted as well.

<div class="bd-example">
  <nav id="navbar-example2" class="navbar navbar-light bg-faded">
    <a class="navbar-brand" href="#">Navbar</a>
    <ul class="nav nav-pills">
      <li class="nav-item"><a class="nav-link" href="#fat">@fat</a></li>
      <li class="nav-item"><a class="nav-link" href="#mdo">@mdo</a></li>
      <li class="nav-item dropdown">
        <a class="nav-link dropdown-toggle" data-toggle="dropdown" href="#" role="button" aria-haspopup="true" aria-expanded="false">Dropdown</a>
        <div class="dropdown-menu">
          <a class="dropdown-item" href="#one">one</a>
          <a class="dropdown-item" href="#two">two</a>
          <div role="separator" class="dropdown-divider"></div>
          <a class="dropdown-item" href="#three">three</a>
        </div>
      </li>
    </ul>
  </nav>

## Usage

### Requires Bootstrap nav

Scrollspy currently requires the use of a [Bootstrap nav component]({{ site.baseurl }}/components/navs/) for proper highlighting of active links.

### Requires relative positioning

No matter the implementation method, scrollspy requires the use of `position: relative;` on the element you're spying on. In most cases this is the `<body>`. When scrollspying on elements other than the `<body>`, be sure to have a `height` set and `overflow-y: scroll;` applied.

### Via data attributes

To easily add scrollspy behavior to your topbar navigation, add `data-spy="scroll"` to the element you want to spy on (most typically this would be the `<body>`). Then add the `data-target` attribute with the ID or class of the parent element of any Bootstrap `.nav` component.

{% highlight css %}
body {
  position: relative;
}
{% endhighlight %}

{% highlight html %}
<body data-spy="scroll" data-target="#navbar-example">
  ...
  <div id="navbar-example">
    <ul class="nav nav-tabs" role="tablist">
      ...
    </ul>
  </div>
  ...
</body>
{% endhighlight %}

### Via JavaScript

After adding `position: relative;` in your CSS, call the scrollspy via JavaScript:

{% highlight js %}
$('body').scrollspy({ target: '#navbar-example' })
{% endhighlight %}

{% callout danger %}
#### Resolvable ID targets required

Navbar links must have resolvable id targets. For example, a `<a href="#home">home</a>` must correspond to something in the DOM like `<div id="home"></div>`.
{% endcallout %}

{% callout info %}
#### Non-`:visible` target elements ignored

Target elements that are not [`:visible` according to jQuery](https://api.jquery.com/visible-selector/) will be ignored and their corresponding nav items will never be highlighted.
{% endcallout %}

### Methods

#### `.scrollspy('refresh')`

When using scrollspy in conjunction with adding or removing of elements from the DOM, you'll need to call the refresh method like so:

{% highlight js %}
$('[data-spy="scroll"]').each(function () {
  var $spy = $(this).scrollspy('refresh')
})
{% endhighlight %}


### Options

Options can be passed via data attributes or JavaScript. For data attributes, append the option name to `data-`, as in `data-offset=""`.

<table class="table table-bordered table-striped table-responsive">
  <thead>
   <tr>
     <th style="width: 100px;">Name</th>
     <th style="width: 100px;">Type</th>
     <th style="width: 50px;">Default</th>
     <th>Description</th>
   </tr>
  </thead>
  <tbody>
   <tr>
     <td>offset</td>
     <td>number</td>
     <td>10</td>
     <td>Pixels to offset from top when calculating position of scroll.</td>
   </tr>
  </tbody>
</table>

### Events

<table class="table table-bordered table-striped table-responsive">
  <thead>
   <tr>
     <th style="width: 150px;">Event Type</th>
     <th>Description</th>
   </tr>
  </thead>
  <tbody>
   <tr>
     <td>activate.bs.scrollspy</td>
     <td>This event fires whenever a new item becomes activated by the scrollspy.</td>
  </tr>
  </tbody>
</table>

{% highlight js %}
$('#myScrollspy').on('activate.bs.scrollspy', function () {
  // do something…
})
{% endhighlight %}
