(Recommended listening; please mentally replace the word 'smooth' with 'scroll'.)

ScrollOperatorMixin

This will save the scrolling position of a route. When the route is re-entered, it will automatically scroll to the previously saved position only if accessed by the browser's forward and back buttons. Accessing the route via link-to or address bar will not trigger this behavior. This is by design in order to more closely emulate the HTML experience.

import ScrollOperatorMixin from 'ember-scroll-operator/mixins/scroll-operator';

export default Ember.Route.extend(ScrollOperatorMixin, {

  // If any of the following methods are implemented in your route, be sure to
  // include a call to the parent to make sure the mixin is included.

  activate() {
    this._super(...arguments);
    // existing code
  },

  deactivate() {
    this._super(...arguments);
    // existing code
  },

  beforeModel() {
    this._super(...arguments);
    // existing code
  },

  setupController() {
    this._super(...arguments);
    // existing code
  },

});

ResetScrollMixin

A simple mixin to ensure that a route is always scrolled to the top when accessed.

import ResetScrollMixin from 'ember-scroll-operator/mixins/reset-scroll';

export default Ember.Route.extend(ResetScrollMixin, {

  // If the following methods are implemented in your route, be sure to include
  // a call to the parent to make sure the mixin is included.

  activate() {
    this._super(...arguments);
    // existing code
  },

});
