Scroll View

Scroll View indicates horizontal or vertical scrolling.

Usage

ScrollView

ScrollView makes long content scrollable. On its edges, it provides indication of whether there is more content to scroll to.

JavaScript Plugin

For full functionality, you need to provide Spirit JavaScript, which will handle toggling of the FileUploader component:


                                                
                                                <script src="node_modules/@lmc-eu/spirit-web/js/cjs/spirit-web.min.js" async></script>

You will find the full documentation of the plugin below on this page.

Please consult the main README for how to include JavaScript plugins.

Or, feel free to write the controlling script yourself.

Vertical Scrolling

For vertical scrolling, you need to add the ScrollView--vertical class to the container element and set the data-spirit-direction attribute to vertical.


                                                
                                                <div class="ScrollView ScrollView--vertical" data-spirit-toggle="scrollView" data-spirit-direction="vertical">
                                                  <div class="ScrollView__viewport" data-spirit-element="viewport">
                                                    <div class="ScrollView__content" data-spirit-element="content">
                                                      <p>Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetuer adipiscing elit…</p>
                                                    </div>
                                                  </div>
                                                  <div class="ScrollView__overflowDecorators ScrollView__overflowDecorators--shadows" aria-hidden="true"></div>
                                                </div>

Horizontal Scrolling

Analogically, add the ScrollView--horizontal class to the container element and set the data-spirit-direction attribute to horizontal to achieve horizontal scrolling.

👉 For text content, you may need to explicitly set the white-space CSS property to nowrap on the content element to prevent the content from wrapping.


                                                
                                                <div class="ScrollView ScrollView--horizontal" data-spirit-toggle="scrollView" data-spirit-direction="horizontal">
                                                  <div class="ScrollView__viewport" data-spirit-element="viewport">
                                                    <div class="ScrollView__content" data-spirit-element="content">
                                                      <p class="mb-700" style="white-space: nowrap">Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetuer adipiscing elit…</p>
                                                    </div>
                                                  </div>
                                                  <div class="ScrollView__overflowDecorators ScrollView__overflowDecorators--shadows" aria-hidden="true"></div>
                                                </div>

👉 For other content types, you may need to provide fixed width to the content element (or elements) to force scrolling.


                                                
                                                <div class="ScrollView ScrollView--horizontal" data-spirit-toggle="scrollView" data-spirit-direction="horizontal">
                                                  <div class="ScrollView__viewport" data-spirit-element="viewport">
                                                    <div class="ScrollView__content" data-spirit-element="content">
                                                      <div class="Grid Grid--cols-4 mb-700">
                                                        <div style="width: 20rem">1/4</div>
                                                        <div style="width: 20rem">1/4</div>
                                                        <div style="width: 20rem">1/4</div>
                                                        <div style="width: 20rem">1/4</div>
                                                      </div>
                                                    </div>
                                                  </div>
                                                  <div class="ScrollView__overflowDecorators ScrollView__overflowDecorators--shadows" aria-hidden="true"></div>
                                                </div>

Scrolling Overflow Decorators

The ScrollView component provides overflow decorators on its edges, showing that there is more content to scroll to. The default overflow decorators use shadows:


                                                
                                                <div class="ScrollView__overflowDecorators ScrollView__overflowDecorators--shadows" aria-hidden="true"></div>

You can use borders instead:


                                                
                                                <div class="ScrollView__overflowDecorators ScrollView__overflowDecorators--borders" aria-hidden="true"></div>

Or both:


                                                
                                                <div
                                                  class="ScrollView__overflowDecorators ScrollView__overflowDecorators--borders ScrollView__overflowDecorators--shadows"
                                                  aria-hidden="true"
                                                ></div>

Custom Shadows

You can customize the shadows by overriding the following CSS variables:


                                                
                                                --scroll-view-start-shadow-background: linear-gradient(to bottom, #9400d3 0%, #9400d300 100%);
                                                --scroll-view-end-shadow-background: linear-gradient(to top, #9400d3 0%, #9400d300 100%);

Scrollbar

Depending on user's operating system and browser, the scrollbar may be hidden by default, or take up space in the container element.

👉 Unless you decide to hide the scrollbar, you may need to provide spacing for the scrollbar, so it does not cover your content when visible. For example, having a horizontal ScrollView, you can do so by adding a margin or padding utility class to your content, e.g. mb-700 or pb-700.


                                                
                                                <div class="ScrollView ScrollView--horizontal" data-spirit-toggle="scrollView" data-spirit-direction="horizontal">
                                                  <div class="ScrollView__viewport" data-spirit-element="viewport">
                                                    <div class="ScrollView__content" data-spirit-element="content">
                                                      <p class="mb-700">…</p>
                                                    </div>
                                                  </div>
                                                  <div class="ScrollView__overflowDecorators ScrollView__overflowDecorators--shadows" aria-hidden="true"></div>
                                                </div>

Hiding the Scrollbar

To hide the scrollbar, add the ScrollView--hideScrollbar class to the container element.

⚠️ Make sure that the content is still accessible to users who don’t use a pointing device with support of horizontal scrolling, e.g. by providing keyboard navigation.


                                                
                                                <div
                                                  class="ScrollView ScrollView--horizontal ScrollView--scrollbarDisabled"
                                                  data-spirit-toggle="scrollView"
                                                  data-spirit-direction="horizontal"
                                                >
                                                  <div class="ScrollView__viewport" data-spirit-element="viewport">
                                                    <div class="ScrollView__content" data-spirit-element="content">
                                                      <!-- … -->
                                                    </div>
                                                  </div>
                                                  <div class="ScrollView__overflowDecorators ScrollView__overflowDecorators--shadows" aria-hidden="true"></div>
                                                </div>
