Installation

pnpm dlx shadcn@latest add https://diceui.com/r/radix-vega/scroller.json

Usage

usage.tsx
import { Scroller } from "@/components/ui/scroller";<Scroller className="h-64">  <div>Scrollable content</div></Scroller>
  • Show long content in a bounded area while indicating that more content is available beyond its edges.
  • Add optional arrow controls for scrolling through content in fixed increments.
  • Create horizontal or vertical scroll areas where hiding the browser scrollbar is desirable.
  • Use the component as a child-compatible wrapper when the scrollable element needs to be supplied by the caller.

Examples

Vertical scrolling with navigation

Show arrow controls while content can scroll vertically.

vertical-scrolling-with-navigation.tsx
import { Scroller } from "@/components/ui/scroller";<Scroller className="h-64" withNavigation>  <div className="space-y-4">{items.map((item) => <p key={item.id}>{item.label}</p>)}</div></Scroller>

Horizontal gallery

Scroll a row of cards horizontally and hide the native scrollbar.

horizontal-gallery.tsx
import { Scroller } from "@/components/ui/scroller";<Scroller orientation="horizontal" hideScrollbar className="flex gap-4">  {cards.map((card) => <article key={card.id} className="w-64 shrink-0">{card.title}</article>)}</Scroller>

Configure navigation behavior

Set the scroll increment and use click-triggered arrows.

configure-navigation-behavior.tsx
import { Scroller } from "@/components/ui/scroller";<Scroller className="h-48" withNavigation scrollStep={80} scrollTriggerMode="click">  <div>{content}</div></Scroller>

API reference

PropTypeDefaultDescription
orientation"vertical" | "horizontal""vertical"Selects the overflow axis and the direction of navigation buttons.
hideScrollbarbooleanfalseHides the scrollbar using browser-specific CSS.
sizenumber40Sets the scroll-edge mask size in pixels through the --scroll-shadow-size CSS variable.
offsetnumber0Pixel tolerance used when detecting scrollable edges and navigation-button visibility.
asChildbooleanfalseRenders through Radix Slot instead of rendering the scroller as a div.
withNavigationbooleanfalseDisplays arrow buttons for available scroll directions. With navigation enabled, the component wraps the scroller in a relative, full-width div.
scrollStepnumber40Distance in pixels moved by each navigation-button scroll action.
scrollTriggerMode"press" | "hover" | "click""press"Controls navigation activation: repeatedly scroll while pressed, repeatedly scroll while hovered, or scroll on click.
classNamestring—Inherited div prop used to add classes to the scroller element.
styleReact.CSSProperties—Inherited div prop; merged with the component's --scroll-shadow-size style.
refReact.Ref<HTMLDivElement>—Inherited div ref, composed with the component's internal scroll-container ref.
...divPropsReact.ComponentProps<"div">—Accepts the remaining standard React div props, which are spread onto the scroller element.

Accessibility

  • The navigation controls are native type="button" elements and can be operated with standard button interactions.
  • The arrow buttons contain icons but do not set accessible names. When navigation is enabled, verify that these icon-only controls have an accessible name in the rendered UI.
  • The scroller does not set tabIndex or an accessible label automatically. Pass appropriate div props, such as tabIndex and aria-label, when needed for your interaction and content.
  • With asChild enabled, ensure the slotted element supports the forwarded ref, scrolling behavior, and supplied div attributes.
