# <scroll-shadow> element
[![npm version][npm-version-badge-src]][npm-package-href]
[![bundle size (minified and gzipped)][bundlesize-badge-src]][bundlesize-href]
A small web component to enhance scrollable elements with dynamic scroll
indicators.
- Easy to use: Just wrap your element with ``
- Customizable scroll indicators
- [See the demo][demo-href] 🔎
## Installation
```bash
npm install scroll-shadow-element
```
Import the module as part of your app bundle, or with a script tag.
```js
import 'scroll-shadow-element'
```
```html
```
Or load from a CDN like unpkg
```html
```
## Usage
Wrap any element for dynamically added scroll indicators. For example:
```html
Long navigation…
```
**Note**: When wrapping a non-scrollable `` element, then its first
`` will be used.
## Configuration
You can change the default appearance with CSS.
### Default
```css
scroll-shadow {
display: inline-block;
--scroll-shadow-size: 14;
--scroll-shadow-top: radial-gradient(farthest-side at 50% 0%, #0003, #0000);
--scroll-shadow-bottom: radial-gradient(farthest-side at 50% 100%, #0003, #0000);
--scroll-shadow-left: radial-gradient(farthest-side at 0%, #0003, #0000);
--scroll-shadow-right: radial-gradient(farthest-side at 100%, #0003, #0000);
}
```
### Example: dark mode
```css
@media (prefers-color-scheme: dark) {
scroll-shadow {
--scroll-shadow-top: radial-gradient(farthest-side at 50% 0%, #fff3, #0000);
--scroll-shadow-bottom: radial-gradient(farthest-side at 50% 100%, #fff3, #0000);
--scroll-shadow-left: radial-gradient(farthest-side at 0%, #fff3, #0000);
--scroll-shadow-right: radial-gradient(farthest-side at 100%, #fff3, #0000);
}
}
```
### CSS custom properties
| Property | Description | Syntax |
| :--------------------- | :----------------------------------------------------- | :---------------- |
| --scroll-shadow-size | Sets the maximum size of the scroll indicators | `` |
| --scroll-shadow-top | Controls the appearance of the top scroll indicator | `none \| ` |
| --scroll-shadow-bottom | Controls the appearance of the bottom scroll indicator | `none \| ` |
| --scroll-shadow-left | Controls the appearance of the left scroll indicator | `none \| ` |
| --scroll-shadow-right | Controls the appearance of the right scroll indicator | `none \| ` |
## Browser support
`scroll-shadow-element` works in all major browsers: all browsers that support
[Custom Elements][custom-elementsv1], [Resize Observer][resizeobserver] and the
[`min()` CSS function][css-math-functions] (Chrome/Edge 79+, Safari 13.1+, iOS
Safari 13.4+, Firefox 75+). In older browsers, the element just won’t add
scroll indicators.
The package is written with ES6 syntax. If you need to support older browsers,
you can configure your bundler to compile it to ES5 syntax.
## Using with Jest
```json
{
"jest": {
"moduleNameMapper": {
"^scroll-shadow-element$": "jest-transform-stub"
}
}
}
```
[Jest doesn’t fully support ES modules][jest-esm]: Depending on your
configuration, you might see `SyntaxError: Unexpected token 'export'` along
with a few hints in the error output. Jest’s ["moduleNameMapper"
option][jest-modulenamemapper] can be used to stub the module out. You can use
any empty module, or [`jest-transform-stub`][jest-transform-stub].
## Pure CSS alternative
`` is inspired by Lea Verou’s great [pure CSS scrolling shadows
technique with `background-attachment: local`][pure-css-alternative].
The main motivation to create a custom element was to find a solution to have
the shadows above the content and independent of the element’s background. If
you don’t have these requirements, the pure CSS technique might work for you
too.
Since July 2023, it is possible to achieve the same with [CSS scroll-driven
animations][scroll-driven-animations] (see also ["Proper" Scrolling
Shadows][proper-scrolling-shadows] and [Scroll shadows with
animation-timeline][scroll-shadows-with-animation-timeline]). At the time of
writing, browser support for scroll-driven animations is limited: e.g. it won’t
work in Safari and Firefox. With ``, scroll indicators can be
applied declaratively in all major browsers, and the web component might get
updated in the future to use ScrollTimeline.
## Development
- `npm install` to install dependencies
- `npm test -- --update-visual-baseline` to create local visual regression test baseline images
- `npm test` to run tests
- `npm run dev` to open a demo page for manual testing
- `npm run lint` to run linting checks
- `npm run lint:fix` to fix linting issues
- `npm run build` to build
