React-Scrollbar-Size

React-Scrollbar-Size is a React hook designed to calculate the size of the user agent's horizontal and vertical scrollbars. It will also detect when the size of the scrollbars change, such as when the user agent's zoom factor changes.

Installation

React-Scrollbar-Size is available as an npm package:

:information_source: The examples referenced here relate to the 4.0.0 release candidate, which can be installed using the next tag. Earlier versions of the custom hook syntax can be viewed here. Earlier versions of the legacy component syntax can be viewed here.

$ npm install react-scrollbar-size@next

Usage

The useScrollbarSize custom hook returns an object with two properties:

Name	Description
width	The current width of the vertical scrollbar
height	The current height of the horizontal scrollbar
