? Next-gen compact native smooth scrolling component library for Vue 3

⚡ No scrollbar reinventing using DOM elements, no weird logic, only native scroll event, a sprinkle of CSS magic and the power of ResizeObserver.

⚡ Native means the library doesn’t interfere with scroll logic at all. Every scroll feature works as it should be.

DEMO (EXAMPLE SOURCE)

Installation:

pnpm add vue-smoothie

yarn add vue-smoothie

npm i vue-smoothie

Usage:

You should use the component as a container element for your scrollable content. The container has overflow: auto by default.

<script setup>
import { Smoothie } from "vue-smoothie";
</script>

<template>
  <Smoothie class="container">
    <div>
      <p>Test paragraph</p>
    </div>
  </Smoothie>
</template>

<style>
.container {
  /* define height and/or width */
}
</style>

There are two flavors of the component:

Smoothie – use this when you only need vertical scroll.
OmniSmoothie – use this when you need both vertical and horizontal scroll. In this case prefer using OmniSmoothie component for all scrollable areas even if they’re vertical-only to prevent bundling both flavors simulataneously.

`weight` prop

You can setup how smooth the scrolling is by specifying an optional weight prop: <Smoothie :weight="0.03"> The lower the value the lazier transition

Exposed properties

Both flavors expose an object via ref with properties:

el – container DOM element (available in onMounted hook)
x and y – current smooth scroll position (x only in Omni)

Common issues

To make root (App) view work with smoothie you have to pass down overflow to the smoothie element. One way of doing so is:
```
html,
body,
#app,
.container {
  height: 100%;
}
```
where #app is the element you mount your Vue application on and .container a class applied to root <smoothie> element
Instead of styling #app with padding and etc, better style scroll container
Don’t forget about box-sizing: border-box when a container has border and/or padding to accomodate it into its width and height to prevent multiple scrollbars, root-level (<html>) scrollbar overtaking overflow and other issues
Scrollbar appears inside of page not at a side – you need to set width to 100%
