scroll padding for scrollToIndex and similar methods?

[tobimori]

the corresponding css property would be scroll padding - is something like that possible with legend list?

I've never used scroll padding so I'm not 100% sure what its behavior is supposed to be. But the scroll functions like scrollToIndex have viewOffset and viewPosition which I think should be what you're looking for?

/**
 * Scrolls to a specific index in the list.
 * @param params - Parameters for scrolling.
 * @param params.animated - If true, animates the scroll. Default: true.
 * @param params.index - The index to scroll to.
 * @param params.viewOffset - Offset from the target position.
 * @param params.viewPosition - Position of the item in the viewport (0 to 1).
 */
scrollToIndex(params: {
    animated?: boolean | undefined;
    index: number;
    viewOffset?: number | undefined;
    viewPosition?: number | undefined;
}): void;

the issue with viewOffset and viewPosition would be that I do not know if I scroll upwards or downwards, no?

If I use scrollIntoView in JS, scroll padding would make it leave a gap to the viewport - both from top and the bottom.
