Installation

Base UI components are all available as a single package.

npm install @base-ui-components/react

Once you have the package installed, import the component.

import { ScrollArea } from '@base-ui-components/react/scroll-area';

Anatomy

<ScrollArea.Root>
  <ScrollArea.Viewport />
  <ScrollArea.Scrollbar orientation="vertical">
    <ScrollArea.Thumb />
  </ScrollArea.Scrollbar>
  <ScrollArea.Scrollbar orientation="horizontal">
    <ScrollArea.Thumb />
  </ScrollArea.Scrollbar>
  <ScrollArea.Corner />
</ScrollArea.Root>

The scrollbar elements can be shown conditionally based on the user's interaction with the Scroll Area. The [data-scrolling] and [data-hovering] attributes are added to the scrollbar element while the user is scrolling or hovering over the Scroll Area.

.ScrollAreaScrollbar[data-scrolling],
.ScrollAreaScrollbar[data-hovering] {
  opacity: 1;
}

Inset scrollbars

By specifying a gutter prop, you can create inset scrollbars that make space for the scrollbar, preventing them from overlapping content. The value should match the size of the scrollbar width/height.

<ScrollArea.Root gutter={10}>

<ScrollArea.Scrollbar orientation="vertical" />
<ScrollArea.Scrollbar orientation="horizontal" />
<ScrollArea.Corner />
