simplebar

What is simplebar?

SimpleBar is a custom scrollbar library that aims to provide a simple and lightweight solution for creating custom scrollbars that look consistent across different browsers and platforms. It allows you to style the scrollbar to match your application's design while maintaining native scrolling performance.

What are simplebar's main functionalities?

Custom Scrollbars

SimpleBar allows you to create custom scrollbars by adding a `data-simplebar` attribute to your HTML elements. This will replace the default scrollbar with a custom one that you can style using CSS.

<div data-simplebar style="max-height: 300px;">

</div>

Auto-Hiding Scrollbars

You can control the auto-hide behavior of the scrollbar by setting the `data-simplebar-auto-hide` attribute to `false`. This will keep the scrollbar visible at all times.

<div data-simplebar-auto-hide="false" style="max-height: 300px;">

</div>

RTL Support

SimpleBar supports right-to-left (RTL) text direction. You can enable this by setting the `data-simplebar-direction` attribute to `rtl`.

<div data-simplebar-direction="rtl" style="max-height: 300px;">

Custom Scrollbar Styles

You can customize the appearance of the scrollbar by targeting the `.simplebar-scrollbar` class in your CSS. This allows you to change the color, width, and other styles of the scrollbar.

<style>
  .simplebar-scrollbar::before {
    background-color: #3498db;
  }
</style>
<div data-simplebar style="max-height: 300px;">
