OverlayScrollbars for Svelte

This is the official OverlayScrollbars Svelte wrapper.

Installation

npm install overlayscrollbars-svelte

Peer Dependencies

OverlayScrollbars for Svelte has the following peer dependencies:

• The vanilla JavaScript library: overlayscrollbars

npm install overlayscrollbars

• The Svelte framework: svelte

npm install svelte

Usage

The first step is to import the CSS file into your app:

import 'overlayscrollbars/overlayscrollbars.css';

Note

: In older node versions use 'overlayscrollbars/styles/overlayscrollbars.css' as the import path for the CSS file.

Component

The main entry point is the OverlayScrollbarsComponent which can be used in your application as a component:

import { OverlayScrollbarsComponent } from "overlayscrollbars-svelte";

// ...

<OverlayScrollbarsComponent>
  example content
</OverlayScrollbarsComponent>

Properties

It has three optional properties: element, options and events.

• element: accepts a string which represents the tag of the root element.
• options: accepts an object which represents the OverlayScrollbars options.
• events: accepts an object which represents the OverlayScrollbars events.

// example usage
<OverlayScrollbarsComponent
  element="span"
  options={{ scrollbars: { autoHide: 'scroll' } }}
  events={{ scroll: () => { /* ... */ } }}
/>

Events

Additionally to the events property the OverlayScrollbarsComponent emits "native" Svelte events. To prevent name collisions with DOM events the events have a os prefix.

Note

: It doesn't matter whether you use the events property or the Svelte events or both.

// example usage
<OverlayScrollbarsComponent
  on:osInitialized={onInitialized}
  on:osUpdated={onUpdated}
  on:osDestroyed={onDestroyed}
  on:osScroll={onScroll}
/>

All events are typed, but you can use the EventListenerArgs type as utility in case its needed:

import type { EventListenerArgs } from 'overlayscrollbars';

// example listener
const onUpdated = (event) => {
  const [instance, onUpdatedArgs] = event.detail as EventListenerArgs['updated'];
}

Ref

The ref of the OverlayScrollbarsComponent will give you an object with which you can access the OverlayScrollbars instance and the root element of the component.
The ref object has two properties:

• osInstance: a function which returns the OverlayScrollbars instance.
• getElement: a function which returns the root element.
