Tailwind CSS Scrollbar

Basic example

Scrollbar is initialized automatically when you add data-twe-perfect-scrollbar-init attribute to your container.

  <div data-twe-perfect-scrollbar-init class="relative h-[400px] w-[600px] overflow-hidden"> <img src="https://tecdn.b-cdn.net/img/new/slides/041.webp" alt="Wild Landscape" class="h-[700px] w-[1000px] max-w-none" /> </div>

  // Initialization for ES Users import { PerfectScrollbar, initTWE, } from "tw-elements"; initTWE({ PerfectScrollbar });

Hey there 👋 we're excited about TW elements and want to see it grow! If you enjoy it, help the project grow by sharing it with your peers. Every share counts, thank you!

Options

JavaScript init

You can easily init scrollbar with JavaScript. You have to invoke PerfectScrollbar() or twe.PerfectScrollbar() if you are using UMD format and include options within that.

HTML
javascript
umd

ES UMD

  <div id="init-by-js" class="relative h-[400px] w-[600px] overflow-hidden"> <img src="https://tecdn.b-cdn.net/img/new/slides/041.webp" alt="Wild Landscape" class="h-[700px] w-[1000px] max-w-none" /> </div>

  import { PerfectScrollbar } from "tw-elements"; const initByJS = document.querySelector("#init-by-js"); const psInitbyJS = new PerfectScrollbar(initByJS);

  const initByJS = document.querySelector("#init-by-js"); const psInitbyJS = new twe.PerfectScrollbar(initByJS);

Data attributes

You can easily init scrollbar with options with data-twe-attributes. You have to add data-twe-perfect-scrollbar-init to your wrapper. If you want add options with data-twe-attr you have to add for example data-twe-suppress-scroll-x="true" to your container.

  <div data-twe-perfect-scrollbar-init data-twe-suppress-scroll-x="true" class="relative h-[400px] w-[600px] overflow-hidden"> <img src="https://tecdn.b-cdn.net/img/new/slides/041.webp" alt="..." class="h-[700px] w-[1000px] max-w-none" /> </div>

  // Initialization for ES Users import { PerfectScrollbar, initTWE, } from "tw-elements"; initTWE({ PerfectScrollbar });

Colors example

Scrollbar's thumb and rail's colors can be customized by changing the default classes we add to them. Change the classes of the Scrollbar element that you would like to edit: railXColors, railXThumbColors, railYColors or railYThumbColors. Visit the API section to see the default classes for those elements.

  <div id="scroll-colors" class="relative h-[400px] w-[600px] overflow-hidden"> <img src="https://tecdn.b-cdn.net/img/new/slides/041.webp" alt="..." class="h-[700px] w-[1000px] max-w-none" /> </div>

  import { PerfectScrollbar } from "tw-elements"; const scrollColors = document.querySelector("#scroll-colors"); const initScrollColors = new PerfectScrollbar( scrollColors, {}, { railXColors: "group-[&.ps--active-x]/ps:!bg-[#90ee90] hover:!bg-[#eee] focus:!bg-[#eee] [&.ps--clicking]:!bg-[#eee]", railXThumbColors: "!bg-[#006400] group-hover/x:bg-[#999] group-focus/x:bg-[#999] group-[&.ps--clicking]/x:bg-[#999]", railYColors: "group-[&.ps--active-y]/ps:!bg-[#90ee90] hover:!bg-[#eee] focus:!bg-[#eee] [&.ps--clicking]:!bg-[#eee]", railYThumbColors: "!bg-[#006400] group-hover/y:bg-[#999] group-focus/y:bg-[#999] group-[&.ps--clicking]/y:bg-[#999]", } );

  const scrollColors = document.querySelector("#scroll-colors"); const initScrollColors = new twe.PerfectScrollbar( scrollColors, {}, { railXColors: "group-[&.ps--active-x]/ps:!bg-[#90ee90] hover:!bg-[#eee] focus:!bg-[#eee] [&.ps--clicking]:!bg-[#eee]", railXThumbColors: "!bg-[#006400] group-hover/x:bg-[#999] group-focus/x:bg-[#999] group-[&.ps--clicking]/x:bg-[#999]", railYColors: "group-[&.ps--active-y]/ps:!bg-[#90ee90] hover:!bg-[#eee] focus:!bg-[#eee] [&.ps--clicking]:!bg-[#eee]", railYThumbColors: "!bg-[#006400] group-hover/y:bg-[#999] group-focus/y:bg-[#999] group-[&.ps--clicking]/y:bg-[#999]", } );

Perfect Scrollbar

Import

Importing components depends on how your application works. If you intend to use the TW elements ES format, you must first import the component and then initialize it with the initTWE method. If you are going to use the UMD format, just import the tw-elements package.

Usage

Via data attributes

Add the data-twe-perfect-scrollbar-init attribute to the clickable element to apply the ripple effect. For ES format, you must first import and call the initTWE method.

HTML

  <div data-twe-perfect-scrollbar-init class="relative h-[400px] w-[600px] overflow-hidden"> <img src="https://tecdn.b-cdn.net/img/new/slides/041.webp" alt="Wild Landscape" class="h-[700px] w-[1000px] max-w-none" /> </div>

Via JavaScript

javascript
umd

ES UMD

  const initByJS = document.querySelector("#init-by-js"); const psInitbyJS = new PerfectScrollbar(initByJS);

  const initByJS = document.querySelector("#init-by-js"); const psInitbyJS = new twe.PerfectScrollbar(initByJS);

Options

Options can be passed via data attributes or JavaScript. For data attributes, append the option name to data-twe-, as in data-twe-wheel-speed="2".

Name	Type	Default	Description
`handlers`	String[]	`['click-rail', 'drag-thumb', 'keyboard', 'wheel', 'touch']`	It is a list of handlers to scroll the element.
`wheelSpeed`	Number	`1`	The scroll speed applied to mousewheel event.
`wheelPropagation`	Boolean	`true`	If this option is true, when the scroll reaches the end of the side, mousewheel event will be propagated to parent element.
`swipeEasing`	Boolean	`true`	If this option is true, swipe scrolling will be eased.
`minScrollbarLength`	Number \| null	`null`	When set to an integer value, the thumb part of the scrollbar will not shrink below that number of pixels.
`maxScrollbarLength`	Number \| null	`null`	When set to an integer value, the thumb part of the scrollbar will not expand over that number of pixels.
`scrollingThreshold`	Number	`1000`	This sets threshold for ps--scrolling-x and ps--scrolling-y classes to remain. In the default CSS, they make scrollbars shown regardless of hover state. The unit is millisecond.
`suppressScrollX`	Boolean	`false`	When set to true, the scrollbar in X-axis will not be available, regardless of the content width.
`suppressScrollY`	Boolean	`false`	When set to true, the scroll bar in Y-axis will not be available, regardless of the content height.
`scrollXMarginOffset`	Number	`0`	The number of pixels the content width can surpass the container width without enabling the X-axis scroll bar. Allows some "wiggle room" or "offset break", so that X-axis scroll bar is not enabled just because of a few pixels.
`scrollYMarginOffset`	Number	`0`	The number of pixels the content width can surpass the container width without enabling the Y-axis scroll bar. Allows some "wiggle room" or "offset break", so that Y-axis scroll bar is not enabled just because of a few pixels.
`positionRight`	Boolean	`true`	Changes the sides of scrollbar rails
