Usage
To make scrolling and scroll overflow decorators function correctly, the parent container's height must be limited. In our examples, we set this height limit using inline styles for demonstration purposes only.
Default (Vertical)
<div style={{ height: '250px' }}>
<ScrollView>

Overflow Decorators
The ScrollView component provides overflow decorators on its edges, showing that there is more content to scroll to. Shadows are used by default.
You can use borders instead:
<ScrollView overflowDecorators="borders" />
Or both:
<ScrollView overflowDecorators="both" />
Hiding the Scrollbar
<ScrollView isScrollbarDisabled />
ScrollView Arrows
Setting hasArrows to true adds arrow buttons at the start and end of the scrollable area. Clicking an arrow moves the viewport by arrowsScrollStep value in the ScrollView's direction.
<ScrollView hasArrows arrowsScrollStep={200}>
{/* scrollable content */}
</ScrollView>
Custom Arrow Labels
You can customize the arrow button labels using the ariaLabelArrows prop. Note that these labels are not visually displayed — they are used for accessibility purposes only. All properties (top, bottom, start, end) are optional, and you can define any combination of them.
Default labels are automatically set based on the direction prop:
- Horizontal: Scroll left and Scroll right (uses start and end properties)
- Vertical: Scroll up and Scroll down (uses top and bottom properties)
You can override all labels:
<ScrollView
hasArrows
direction="horizontal"
ariaLabelArrows={{
start: 'Custom scroll left',
end: 'Custom scroll right',
top: 'Custom scroll up',
bottom: 'Custom scroll down',
}}
>
{/* scrollable content */}
</ScrollView>
Or override only one label:
<ScrollView hasArrows direction="horizontal" ariaLabelArrows={{ start: 'Custom scroll left' }}>
{/* scrollable content */}
</ScrollView>
ScrollView Props
| Name | Type | Default | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| ariaLabelArrows | { top?: string, bottom?: string, start?: string; end?: string } | — | ✕ | Custom accessibility labels for arrow buttons |
| arrowsScrollStep | number | 300 | ✕ | Scroll step for arrows (pixels) |
| children | ReactNode | — | ✓ | ScrollView children's nodes |
| direction | [horizontal | vertical] | vertical | ✕ | Direction of the wrapper |
| hasArrows | bool | false | ✕ | If true, arrows are displayed |
| isScrollbarDisabled | bool | false | ✕ | If true, the Scrollbar is disabled |
| overflowDecorators | [borders | shadows | both] | shadows | ✕ | ScrollView overflow decorators |
On top of the API options, the components accept additional attributes. If you need more control over the styling of a component, you can use style props and escape hatches.
