Rails 7 with turbo

I have a rails 7 app and this is my package.json file:

 {
  "name": "app",
  "private": true,
  "dependencies": {
    "@fortawesome/fontawesome-free": "^6.5.2",
    "@hotwired/stimulus": "^3.2.2",
    "@hotwired/turbo-rails": "^8.0.4",
    "@popperjs/core": "^2.11.8",
    "@rails/ujs": "^7.1.3-4",
    "autoprefixer": "^10.4.19",
    "bootstrap": "^5.3.3",
    "bootstrap-icons": "^1.11.3",
    "esbuild": "^0.21.5",
    "jquery": "^3.7.1",
    "nodemon": "^3.1.3",
    "postcss": "^8.4.38",
    "postcss-cli": "^11.0.0",
    "sass": "^1.77.5"
  },
  "scripts": {
    "build": "esbuild app/javascript/*.* --bundle --sourcemap --format=esm --outdir=app/assets/builds --public-path=/assets",
    "build:css:compile": "sass ./app/assets/stylesheets/application.bootstrap.scss:./app/assets/builds/application.css --no-source-map --load-path=node_modules",
    "build:css:prefix": "postcss ./app/assets/builds/application.css --use=autoprefixer --output=./app/assets/builds/application.css",
    "build:css": "yarn build:css:compile && yarn build:css:prefix",
    "watch:css": "nodemon --watch ./app/assets/stylesheets/ --ext scss --exec \"yarn build:css\""
  },
  "browserslist": [
    "defaults"
  ]
}

application.html.erb

<%= stylesheet_link_tag "application", "data-turbo-track": "reload" %>
<%= javascript_include_tag "application", "data-turbo-track": "reload", type: "module" %>

when I click on:

 <%= button_to new_user_registration_path, method: :get, class: 'btn btn-primary' do %>
        <i class="fa-solid fa-user-plus"></i> Register today!
      <% end %>

Everything works fine when I click the button mentioned above. However, when I navigate back to the previous page using the browser's back button, the page scrolls from the top to the position I was previously on that page.

I would like to have the normal behavior without the scrolling part. Specifically, I want to click the browser's back button and return to the position I was on that page without the scrolling.

Is this scrolling behavior normal with Turbo? If so, how can I disable it? I find it quite inconvenient.

Solution

  • It's a bootstrap issue with turbo. Bootstrap 5 sets the scroll-behavior as smooth. So I added this at the very top of my application.css file $enable-smooth-scroll: false;
