How to add offset to bootstrap scrollspy for nav bar links

Altcademy Team wrote on 7 February 2018

Hi you all! I am building my portfolio page but I have a problem. When I click on a navbar link, it scrolls down and overlaps the title of each section. I tried the following workaround

$(document).ready(function(){
  $('a[href^="#"]').click(function(e) {
    e.preventDefault();
    var target = this.hash, $target = $(target);
    $('html, body').stop().animate({
      'scrollTop': $target.offset().top-80
    }, 300, 'swing', function() {
      window.location.hash = target;
    });
  });
});

This works but it is not okay for me, since when I use the navigation bar, active section is not showing properly.
Does anyone know a different solution in order to solve my problem? You can see my code here https://codepen.io/crisBarreiro/pen/oLQPWR Thank you in advance

Original question by CrisBarreiro

To fix the nav link not showing as active when the section is at the bottom of the nav bar, you can add an offset to the scrollSpy like this:
<body data-spy="scroll" data-target="#myScrollspy" data-offset="80">
        ...
</body>

You can find this information on the Bootstrap doc https://getbootstrap.com/javascript/#scrollspy-options Here is the working codepen

CrisBarreiro: That solved my problem, thank you!
