How to Scroll to the Top on Filter Change in Shopware?

When users apply filters in Shopware, the page doesn’t automatically scroll to the top. This can lead to confusion, as users might not realise that the filtered results have changed. This article provides a simple JavaScript solution to enhance the user experience by ensuring the page scrolls to the top when filters are applied.

Problem: No Auto Scroll on Filter Change

In Shopware, when users apply filters, the page doesn’t automatically scroll to the top. This can create confusion, as users may not immediately notice the updated results, especially on long product listing pages. A smooth shopping experience requires clear visibility of changes, ensuring users don’t have to scroll manually.

Without auto-scrolling, users might assume that the filters are not working correctly, leading to frustration and a poor browsing experience.

Solution: JavaScript Scroll Fix

To enhance user experience, we implement a JavaScript-based auto-scroll solution that ensures users always see updated results immediately after applying filters.

How It Works:

The script actively listens for user interactions within the filter panel and triggers an automatic scroll to the top when:

A user changes a filter option (text input or textarea).
A numeric input field loses focus, confirming a selection.
A button inside the active filters section is clicked.

This real-time scroll adjustment prevents users from missing updated product listings, reducing confusion and improving navigation. The result is a smoother, frustration-free shopping experience in your Shopware store.

document.addEventListener("DOMContentLoaded", () => {
    // Define class selectors
    const filterPanelClass = ".filter-panel";
    const filterItemClass = ".filter-panel-item";
    const activeFilterContainerClass = ".filter-panel-active-container";

    // Select elements
    const filterPanel = document.querySelector(filterPanelClass);
    const activeFilterContainer = document.querySelector(activeFilterContainerClass);

    if (!filterPanel) return; // Stop execution if no filter panel exists

    // Smooth scroll to top
    const scrollToTop = () => {
        window.scrollTo({ top: 0, behavior: "smooth" });
    };

    // Scroll when inputs (except number inputs), selects, or textareas change
    filterPanel.addEventListener("input", (event) => {
        if (event.target.closest(filterItemClass) &&
            event.target.matches("input:not([type='number']), select, textarea")) {
            scrollToTop();
        }
    });

    // Scroll when a number input loses focus
    filterPanel.addEventListener("blur", (event) => {
        if (event.target.closest(filterItemClass) &&
            event.target.matches("input[type='number']")) {
            scrollToTop();
        }
    }, true);

    // Scroll when a button inside the active filter section is clicked
    activeFilterContainer?.addEventListener("click", (event) => {
        if (event.target.matches("button, [role='button']")) {
            scrollToTop();
        }
    });
});

document.addEventListener("DOMContentLoaded", () => {

// Define class selectors

const filterPanelClass = ".filter-panel";

const filterItemClass = ".filter-panel-item";

const activeFilterContainerClass = ".filter-panel-active-container";

// Select elements

const filterPanel = document.querySelector(filterPanelClass);

const activeFilterContainer = document.querySelector(activeFilterContainerClass);

if (!filterPanel) return; // Stop execution if no filter panel exists

// Smooth scroll to top

const scrollToTop = () => {

window.scrollTo({ top: 0, behavior: "smooth" });

};

// Scroll when inputs (except number inputs), selects, or textareas change

filterPanel.addEventListener("input", (event) => {

if (event.target.closest(filterItemClass) &&

event.target.matches("input:not([type='number']), select, textarea")) {

scrollToTop();

}

});

// Scroll when a number input loses focus

filterPanel.addEventListener("blur", (event) => {

if (event.target.closest(filterItemClass) &&

event.target.matches("input[type='number']")) {

scrollToTop();

}

}, true);

// Scroll when a button inside the active filter section is clicked

activeFilterContainer?.addEventListener("click", (event) => {

if (event.target.matches("button, [role='button']")) {

scrollToTop();

}

});
