Implement snapToAlignment property for ScrollView in Fabric architecture #14830

Copilot · 2025-07-01T04:09:54Z

This PR implements the missing snapToAlignment property for Fabric ScrollView to achieve feature parity with the Paper implementation.

Background

The snapToAlignment property was available in RNW Paper via ScrollViewManager but missing from the Fabric implementation, causing a parity gap between the two architectures.

Changes

Core Implementation

Extended SetSnapPoints interface in CompositionSwitcher.idl to accept snapToAlignment parameter
Added snapToAlignment handling in ScrollViewComponentView.cpp with proper enum conversion from React Native to Windows types
Implemented alignment logic in ConfigureSnapInertiaModifiers() to adjust snap positions based on alignment:
- "start" (Near): No adjustment - content snaps at natural positions
- "center" (Center): Offsets positions by half viewport size - content centers in viewport
- "end" (Far): Offsets positions by full viewport size - content aligns to end of viewport

Enum Mapping

React Native -> Windows
ScrollViewSnapToAlignment::Start -> SnapPointsAlignment::Near  
ScrollViewSnapToAlignment::Center -> SnapPointsAlignment::Center
ScrollViewSnapToAlignment::End -> SnapPointsAlignment::Far

Testing Support

Updated RNTester ScrollView example to show snapToAlignment controls for Windows users
Added e2e test case to verify the feature doesn't cause crashes
Added testID to snap ScrollView for automated testing

Usage

Developers can now use the snapToAlignment prop in Fabric ScrollView:

<ScrollView
  snapToOffsets={[100, 200, 300]}
  snapToAlignment="center"  // "start", "center", or "end"
>
  {content}
</ScrollView>

Validation

✅ Builds successfully without compilation errors
✅ Uses existing React Native core ScrollViewProps.snapToAlignment property
✅ Follows established codebase patterns
✅ Maintains backward compatibility (defaults to "start" alignment)

Fixes #13148.
