Scroll to top - danberkeland/personalReddit GitHub Wiki

I needed to add a feature that would return the main page to the top of the screen each time a new subreddit was chosen. Otherwise the new list of articles would load into the page but the main component would remain scrolled to the position it was in before the component refreshed with the new set of articles. I accomplished this with the following addition to Main.js:

 useEffect(() => window.scrollTo(0,0))

Without a dependency array, this effect would kick in on each render.
