Scroll to the top of the page after render in react.js

Question

I have a problem, which I have no ideas, how to solve. In my react component I display a long list of data and few links at the bottom. After clicking on any of this links I fill in the list with new collection of the links and need to scroll to the top.

The problem is - how to scroll to the top after new collection is rendered?

'use strict';

// url of this component is #/:checklistId/:sectionId

var React = require('react'),
  Router = require('react-router'),
  sectionStore = require('./../stores/checklist-section-store');


function updateStateFromProps() {
  var self = this;
  sectionStore.getChecklistSectionContent({
    checklistId: this.getParams().checklistId,
    sectionId: this.getParams().sectionId
  }).then(function (section) {
    self.setState({
      section,
      componentReady: true
    });
  });

    this.setState({componentReady: false});
 }

var Checklist = React.createClass({
  mixins: [Router.State],

  componentWillMount: function () {
    updateStateFromProps.call(this);
  },

  componentWillReceiveProps(){
    updateStateFromProps.call(this);
   },

render: function () {
  if (this.state.componentReady) {
    return(
      <section className='checklist-section'>
        <header className='section-header'>{ this.state.section.name }   </header>
        <Steps steps={ this.state.section.steps }/>
        <a href=`#/${this.getParams().checklistId}/${this.state.section.nextSection.Id}`>
          Next Section
        </a>
      </section>
    );
    } else {...}
  }
});

module.exports = Checklist;

Finally.. I used:

componentDidMount() {
  window.scrollTo(0, 0)
}

EDIT: React v16.8+

useEffect(() => {
  window.scrollTo(0, 0)
}, [])
