Customize scrollbar in modern browsers with smooth scrolling experience.

Package Exports

  • smooth-scrollbar

This package does not declare an exports field, so the exports above have been automatically detected and optimized by JSPM instead. If any package subpath is missing, it is recommended to post an issue to the original package (smooth-scrollbar) to support the "exports" field. If that is not possible, create a JSPM override to customize the exports field for this package.

Why is native scrolling slow?

As is explained in this article, browser repaint every frame in scrolling. Less painting is better.

To avoid repainting, I use translate3d in scroll content to create composite layers and force hardware accelerating.

Usage

Smooth scrollbar is defined as an UMD module which named Scrollbar, you can use any loader to load it:

import Scrollbar from 'smooth-scrollbar';

Or get it from window object:

const { Scrollbar } = window;

Don't forget to include the stylesheet in your page:

<link rel="stylesheet" href="dist/smooth-scrollbar.css">

Here're three ways to tell the plugin which element should be a smooth scrollbar:

  1. As an element:

    <scrollbar>
        ...
    </scrollbar>
  2. As an attribute:

    <section scrollbar>
        ...
    </section>
  3. As a data attribute

    <section data-scrollbar>
        ...
    </section>

Then init all scrollbars:

Scrollbar.initAll(options);

Or you can call Scrollbar.init(elem, options) to manually init the scrollbar.

Available Options for Scrollbar
