Mostly CSS slider with great performance.
scrollIntoView()
This library is an opinionated minimal implementation of a common feature across many websites. To keep it small, there are not many fancy features and there is almost no error handling.
However, with a clear API and the use of a ES6 class, it can provide a useful base for custom extensions.
What this module contains:
scroll-snap
sliderscroll-snap
slider without scrollbarsloop
, autoplay
, and desktop/mouse draggable
featuresHere are the sizes of individual modules, using terser and gzip with default options. The size increase at bundlephobia between v2 and v3 is due to the entrypoint changing from 'ScrollSnapSlider' to 'index'.

This library only handles sliders on the X-axis.
For more "fully-featured" implementations, go to:
npm install scroll-snap-slider
yarn add scroll-snap-slider
The class provided in this package augments a slider with a few events and methods.
You can add whatever markup inside the slides.
<ul class="scroll-snap-slider">
<li class="scroll-snap-slide">
<img
alt=""
src="https://picsum.photos/id/1011/400/300"
/>
</li>
<li class="scroll-snap-slide">
<img

src="https://picsum.photos/id/1018/400/300"
/>
</li>
</ul>
@import 'scroll-snap-slider';
Prevents page navigation on horizontal scrolling, i.E. on macOS. [Support tables]
.scroll-snap-slider {
overscroll-behavior-x: none;
overscroll-behavior-y: auto;
}
Prevents scrolling past elements in the slider: [Support tables]
.scroll-snap-slide {
scroll-snap-stop: always;
}
If you do not want to add any additional behaviour, the JavaScript instance is not needed. This class dispatches several events and exposes a few methods, with which you can enhance your slider's behaviour.
Default behaviour:
import { ScrollSnapSlider } from 'scroll-snap-slider'
const element = document.querySelector('.example-slider')
const slider = new ScrollSnapSlider({ element })
slider.addEventListener('slide-start', function (event) {
console.info(`Started sliding towards slide ${event.detail}.`)
})
slider.addEventListener('slide-pass', function (event) {
console.info(`Passing slide ${event.detail}.`)
})
slider.addEventListener('slide-stop', function (event) {
console.info(`Stopped sliding at slide ${event.detail}.`)
})
Advanced config:
import { ScrollSnapSlider } from 'scroll-snap-slider'
// Do not automatically attach scroll listener
const slider = new ScrollSnapSlider({
element: document.querySelector('.example-slider'),
scrollTimeout: 50, // Sets a shorter timeout to detect scroll end
roundingMethod: Math.round, // Dispatch 'slide-pass' events around the center of each slide
// roundingMethod: Math.ceil, // Dispatch 'slide-pass' events as soon as the next one is visible
// roundingMethod: Math.floor, // Dispatch 'slide-pass' events only when the next one is fully visible
sizingMethod (slider) {
// with padding
return slider.element.firstElementChild.offsetWidth
// without padding
// return slider.element.firstElementChild.clientWidth
}
})
Plugins:
You can add one or multiple of the available Plugins:
ScrollSnapAutoplay
: Automatically slides at a given intervalScrollSnapLoop
: Sliding past the last element shows the first without sliding to the start (and vice-versa)ScrollSnapDraggable
: Drag the slider with your mouse. Note: this does not affect mobile behaviour and is not
necessary for touch sliding.import { ScrollSnapSlider, ScrollSnapAutoplay, ScrollSnapLoop } from 'scroll-snap-slider';
const element = document.querySelector('.example-slider')
const slider = new ScrollSnapSlider({ element }).with([
new ScrollSnapAutoplay(1200),
new ScrollSnapLoop
])
Creating your own plugin:
export class CustomPlugin extends ScrollSnapPlugin {
/**
* Pass any config here
* @param {*} config
*/
constructor (config) {
super()
this.config = config
}
/**
* Chose a unique plugin name. If you need multiple instances of the same plugin on a slider, each must return a unique id.
* @return {String}
*/
get id () {
return 'lubba-wubba-dub-dub'
}
/**
* Attach listeners, fetch DOM things, save reference to the slider
* @param {ScrollSnapSlider} slider
* @override
*/
enable (slider) {
// TODO method stub
}
/**
* Free resources, remove listeners, ...
* @override
*/
disable () {
// TODO method stub
}
}

---|---|---|
slide-start |
Number |
Dispatched when sliding starts toward slide at event.detail . |

slide-stop |
Number |
Dispatched when sliding stopped at index event.detail , i.e. the last scroll event happened before scrollTimeout ms. |
