Cannot read property 'scrollToBottom' of undefined"

I am getting this error "Cannot read property 'scrollToBottom' of undefined" and haven't got a solution to this anywhere, hence this post:

Here is my use case: I have a custom accordion list, and on click of one of the list (since it will have some content) I want the user not to scroll to the bottom , hence using that property. I have only pasted the relevant code

This is my .ts

import { Component, ViewChild } from '@angular/core';
import { NavController,Platform, Navbar, Content} from 'ionic-angular';
import { ToastController } from 'ionic-angular';
import { NativeStorage } from '@ionic-native/native-storage';
@Component({
selector: 'page-profile',
templateUrl: 'profile.html'
})
export class ProfilePage {  
@ViewChild('content') content: any;  
constructor(public navCtrl: NavController, private nativeStorage : NativeStorage, private toastCtrl : ToastController, platform : Platform  ) { 
// other methods 
}
 ionViewDidLoad()
  {
    this.IonAccordion()
  }

IonAccordion(){
    this.accElement = document.getElementsByClassName('ion-accordion-header');
    var i;
     for (i = 0; i < this.accElement.length; i++) {
      console.log(i)
      this.accElement[i].addEventListener("click", function() 
      {
        this.classList.toggle("active");
        console.log("click");
        var panel = this.nextElementSibling;
        if (panel.style.maxHeight){
          console.log(panel.style.maxHeight);
          panel.style.maxHeight = null;
        } else { 
          panel.style.maxHeight = panel.scrollHeight + "px";
          this.content.scrollToBottom(300);
        } 
      });
    }
  }
}

This is my .html file,

<ion-content #content>
<ion-row>
    <ion-col>
    <div class="ion-accordion-header">Accordion 1 </div>
    <div class="panel">
       <p>Accordion content</p>
    </div>
    </ion-col>
    </ion-row>
<ion-row>
    <ion-col>
    <div class="ion-accordion-header">Accordion 2 </div>
    <div class="panel">
       <p>Accordion content</p>
    </div>
    </ion-col>
    </ion-row>
</ion-content>

Similar problem and my solution. Ionic 4 and Angular 8.

// header
import { ViewChild } from '@angular/core';
import { IonContent } from '@ionic/angular';

//elements
@ViewChild(IonContent, {static: true}) content: IonContent;

//functions
this.content.scrollToTop(500);
this.content.scrollToBottom(500);

This in your function no longer points to your class but it now refers to the DOM object inside your method IonAccordion. Use this trick instead:

import { Content } from 'ionic-angular';

@ViewChild(Content) content: Content;

    IonAccordion(){
        const scope = this;
        this.accElement = document.getElementsByClassName('ion-accordion-header');
        var i;
         for (i = 0; i < this.accElement.length; i++) {
          console.log(i)
          this.accElement[i].addEventListener("click", function() 
          {
            this.classList.toggle("active");
            console.log("click");
            var panel = this.nextElementSibling;
            if (panel.style.maxHeight){
              console.log(panel.style.maxHeight);
              panel.style.maxHeight = null;
            } else { 
              panel.style.maxHeight = panel.scrollHeight + "px";
              scope.content.scrollToBottom(300);
            } 
          });
        }
      }

Besides the fat arrow function problem you've not imported the content from ionic-angular, so you're not targeting your page content. Change your code to this:

import { Content } from 'ionic-angular';

@ViewChild(Content) content: Content;

After this your scrollToBottom method should work.
