如何在React中使用scrollIntoView？

Question

I am trying to use links in my header to scroll to different parts of my App with scrollIntoView. The header is a child of App. I am getting a TypeError saying the variable I am trying to save the id to is undefined. Can someone please help me to determine what I am doing wrong? I think I may have to use ComponentDidMount, but I'm not sure how to do it, if that is even the fix. I am going to have to do this with all my header links.

I used the following module to achieve this in react:

https://www.npmjs.com/package/scroll-into-view-if-needed

It works much as you'd expect using in-page anchor links and can be used with react-router without problems.

import React from 'react';
import PropTypes from 'prop-types';

import scrollIntoViewIfNeeded from 'scroll-into-view-if-needed';

/*
SCROLL INTO VIEW

Purpose:
  This modular component enables hash links
  eg. (www.xyz.com/somepage#someID)
  and plays nice with react router 4

Usage:
  Wrap this component around a single div with an ID

Example:
  <ScrollIntoView  id={this.props.location.hash}>
    <div id="someID">
      ... loads of content...
    </div>
  </ScrollIntoView>

  <a href="/somepage#someID"> IN-PAGE ANCHOR </a>

 */

class ScrollIntoView extends React.Component {


  componentDidMount() {
    this.scroll();
  }

  componentDidUpdate() {
    this.scroll();
  }

  scroll() {
    const { id } = this.props;
    //console.log('ID is: '+id);
    if (!id) {
      return;
    }
    const element = document.querySelector(id);
    if (element) {
      // this just jumps to the element
      // see support:
      //element.scrollIntoView({block: "end", behavior: "smooth"});

      //If Firefox...
      if (navigator.userAgent.indexOf("Firefox") > 0) {
        //...use native smooth scrolling.
        element.scrollIntoView({block: "end", behavior: "smooth"});
      // If its any other browser, use custom polyfill...
      }else{
        //... luckily I have this handy polyfill...
        scrollIntoViewIfNeeded(element, false, {
          duration: 150
        });
        //  (⌐■_■
      }
    }
  }

  render() {
    return this.props.children;
  }
}
ScrollIntoView.propTypes = {
  id: PropTypes.string.isRequired,
  children: PropTypes.oneOfType([
    PropTypes.array.isRequired,
    PropTypes.object.isRequired
  ])
};
export default ScrollIntoView;
