<template>
  <n-back-top
    :listen-to="target"
    :bottom="220"
    :visibility-height="10"
    :style="{
      transition: 'all .3s cubic-bezier(.4, 0, .2, 1)',
    }"
  >
    <div
      style="
        width: 200px;
        height: 40px;
        line-height: 40px;
        text-align: center;
        font-size: 14px;
      "
    >
      Specify Target
    </div>
  </n-back-top>
  <div
    ref="scrollContainer"
    style="overflow: auto; height: 72px; line-height: 1.5"
  >
    <p v-for="i in 10" :key="i">
      Scroll content line {{ i }}
    </p>
  </div>
</template>

<script setup>
import { ref, computed } from 'vue'

const scrollContainer = ref(null)
const target = computed(() => scrollContainer.value)
</script>
```

### Custom Icon Back Top

```vue
<template>
  <n-back-top :right="40" :bottom="80">
    <n-button circle size="large">
      <template #icon>
        <n-icon><ArrowUpIcon /></n-icon>
      </template>
    </n-button>
  </n-back-top>
</template>
```

### Controlled Visibility

```vue
<template>
  <n-back-top :show="isVisible" @update:show="handleShowChange" />
</template>

<script setup>
import { ref } from 'vue'

const isVisible = ref(false)

const handleShowChange = (value) => {
  isVisible.value = value
}
</script>
```

## Best Practices

1. **Set appropriate visibility-height**: Show button only after meaningful scroll distance

2. **Position for accessibility**: Position where it won't obstruct content but is easily accessible

3. **Customize for branding**: Match button style with your application theme

4. **Use with specific containers**: Set `listen-to` for scrollable containers other than document

5. **Smooth transitions**: Add CSS transitions for better user experience

6. **Mobile considerations**: Adjust position for mobile devices to avoid obstruction
