Change Url Hash On Scroll And Keep Back Button Working
Solution 1:
To answer the first part of your question, if you don't want to pollute the browser's history, you can use history.replaceState() instead of history.pushState(). While pushState changes the URL and adds a new entry to the browser's history, replaceState changes the URL while modifying the current history entry instead of adding a new one.
There is also a good article including differences between pushState and replaceStateon MDN.
Solution 2:
For older browsers I decided to include https://github.com/devote/HTML5-History-API and with this in place I got the desired behaviour (more or less).
This answers has: - a scroll spy for the menu items and sets and active class to those on scroll - the scroll spy also works for the URL hash, setting the correct hash depending on the section that is currently scrolled to - a scroll stop function that checks when the user has stopped scrolling and then takes the value form the currently active menu item and sets that as the current URL hash. This is done on purpose to not catch the sections' anchors while scrolling but only the anchor of the section that the user scrolls to. - a smooth scroll with Velocity.js when clicking on the menu links as well as when using the back and forward buttons - functions that reacts to loading and reloading the page, meaning if you enter the page with a specific URL hash for a section it will animate the scroll to that section and if the page is reloaded it will animate the scroll to the top of the current section
The code is a rough sketch and could possibly use a few tweaks, this is just for demo purpose. I think I am still a beginner to please point out obvious errors so that I can learn from those. All links to where code snippets come from are included as well.
