}
main {
background-color: #fff;

Answer 1

you can get the y position of the element via the offsetHeight property like this:
var offsetTop = this.$refs.messagesContainer.offsetHeight;
You can find more information regarding offsetHeight, clientHeight and scrollHeight properties here
Note you need to call the scrollTo method on the window element:
example:
methods: {
scrollToEnd() {
var scrollHeight = this.$refs.messagesContainer.offsetHeight;
this.$refs.messagesContainer.scrollTop = scrollHeight;
}
}
Hope this helps :)

<main>
<ul v-if="messages" id="messagesContainer">
<li v-for="message in messages" :key="`${message.text}.${message.username}`">
<Message :message="message" :username="username" />
</li>
</ul>
</main>
scrollToEnd() {
const element = document.getElementById('messagesContainer')
element.scrollTop = element.offsetHeight + element.scrollHeight
}

This seems to work on Nuxt. This also provides a smooth scrolling as well.
const element = this.$refs.messagesContainer;
element.scrollIntoView({ behavior: "smooth", block: "start" });
