Make the scroll restoration page match the code: required capture/restore, where to call useScrollRestoration(), storage, and capture timing.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Documentation
    • Clarified that scroll restoration requires explicit capture and restore callbacks, and documented its storage behavior and fallback positions.
    • Updated guidance on where to call useScrollRestoration() so restoration runs after the new route is displayed, including with Suspense and transitions.
    • Expanded lifecycle and key-sharing guidance, and updated the search-key example.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The scroll-restoration documentation now explains setup options, storage, capture and restore behavior, and component placement. The plugin usage example now supplies explicit default capture and restore callbacks.

Changes

Scroll restoration guidance

Layer / File(s) Summary
Setup and default behavior
packages/docs/experimental/scroll-restoration.md, packages/router/src/experimental/scroll-restoration.ts
The docs and usage example show explicit default callbacks. The docs describe option defaults, session-storage persistence, and capture and restore behavior.
Component placement and lifecycle
packages/docs/experimental/scroll-restoration.md
The docs describe when to call useScrollRestoration(), how route rendering affects restoration timing, and how tab lifecycle and shared keys relate to capture and restore.

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 071be

A page that opts to control restoration timing may still be scrolled automatically by its layout. This is a bounded documentation issue with a clear workaround, but should be clarified.

Do not call it in your root `App.vue` or in other components outside of a `<RouterView>`. There, `onRouteRendered()` runs in `router.afterEach()`, before the new route renders, so the restore runs on the old page.

The new `useScrollRestoration()` uses `onRouteRendered()` and triggers restoration after mounting or updating a page component. It can be called only once, in your root `App.vue`, if you have no animations between navigations. But you also have the freedom to call it in specific pages where scrolling requires waiting for animations to wait or if they are wrapped into a transition.
A layout component lets you call it once for all of its child pages. Call it in specific pages when they need different options, for example `manual: true` to wait for an animation.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Clarify when a page needs different restoration options.

With the default key, a layout call and a child page call use the same key while both registrations are active. The layout’s default restore still runs automatically when the page uses manual: true. This can scroll before the page content is ready and undermine manual timing. Clarify that pages needing different options should not also use a layout registration for the same scroll position. The plugin captures each active registration (packages/router/src/experimental/scroll-restoration.ts, Lines 330–357), and this document describes same-key behavior at Line 202.
