Native browser scroll behavior - it don't emulate scrolling, only showing custom scrollbars, scrolling itself still native
Cross-browser and cross-platform - does not matter where and how, scrollbars looks the same everywhere
Ultimate performance - 60 FPS (using RAF) and highly optimised code
No extra stylesheets required - minimum inline styles out of the box or you can style it yourself however you want
Fully customizable - want a hippo as a scrollbar thumb? Well.. I don't judge you, you're free to do it!
Scrollbars nesting
Total tests coverage
Momentum scrolling for iOS
RTL support (read more)
Content sizes translation (read more)
Proper page zoom handling (native scrollbars does not show up)

INSTALLATION

npm install react-scrollbars-custom
# or via yarn
yarn add react-scrollbars-custom

INSTALLATION NOTE:
This lib is written in ES6+ and delivering with both, transpiled and untranspiled versions:

main field of package.json is pointing to transpiled ES3-compatible version with CJS modules resolution;
module field is pointing to transpiled ES3-compatible version with ES modules resolution;
esnext field is pointing to the ES6+ version with ES modules resolution;

Depending on your targets you may have to use Webpack and/or Babel to pull untranspiled version of package.
See some tips on wiring thing up: https://2ality.com/2017/06/pkg-esnext.html

USAGE

Underneath react-scrollbars-custom uses requestAnimationFrame loop, which check and update each known scrollbar, and as result - scrollbars updates synchronised with browser's render flow. The <Scrollbar /> component works out of the box, with only need of width and height to be set, inline or via CSS;

import { Scrollbar } from 'react-scrollbars-custom';

<Scrollbar style={{ width: 250, height: 250 }}>
  <p>Hello world!</p>
</Scrollbar>;

Internet Explorer

react-scrollbars-custom is syntax-compatible with IE10, but you'll have to use polyfills - for example @babel/polyfill.

Styling

Probably you'll wish to customize your scrollbars on your own way via CSS - then simply pass noDefaultStyles prop - it will prevent all inline styling from appear.
But some of styles will remain due to their need for proper component work.

Native mode

One more pretty common need is to disable custom scrollbars and fallback to native ones, it can be done by passing native prop. It'll change the generated markup:

// scrollbar.scrollerElement
<div class="ScrollbarsCustom native trackYVisible trackXVisible">
  // scrollbar.contentElement - the one that holds tour content
  <div class="ScrollbarsCustom-Content">// YOUR CONTENT IS HERE</div>
</div>

As you see here - now the root element has the scrollerElement ref, but otherwise its treated as a before (as holder). contentElement behaves as it was before.

Content sizes translation

In some situations you may want to make the scrollbars block of variable sizes - just pass translateContentSize*ToHolder prop and component will automatically translate corresponding contentElement's sizes to the holderElement.
If you are using default styles - it'll be handy to pass disableTracksWidthCompensation props, to avoid infinite shrinking when it's not supposed to.
Note: This wont work for native mode.

RTL support

react-scrollbars-custom supports RTL direction out of the box, you don't have to pass extra parameters to make it work, it'll be detected automatically on first component's render. But you still able to override it through the prop. There are several things you have to know about:

Due to performance reasons direction autodetect happens is 3 cases:
- On component mount;
- On rtl property change;
- On state isRtl set to non-boolean value;
rtl property has priority over the style or CSS properties;
If rtl prop has not been set (undefined) - direction will be detected automatically according to content element's CSS;
If rtl prop is true - direction: rtl; style will be applied to hte content element;
If rtl prop is false - no style will be applied to holder;

Customization

In some cases you may want to change the default className or tagName of elements or add extra markup or whatever. For these purposes react-scrollbars-custom made fully customizable. You can do absolutely what ever you want y simply passing renderer SFC to the needed props.

IMPORTANT: Renderer will receive elementRef function that expect the DOM element's reference as first parameter.
Furthermore you have to pass the styles, cause they needed to proper component work.

<Scrollbar
  renderer={(props) => {
    const { elementRef, ...restProps } = props;
    return <span {...restProps} ref={elementRef} className="MyAwesomeScrollbarsHolder" />;
  }}
  wrapperProps={{
    renderer: (props) => {
      const { elementRef, ...restProps } = props;
      return <span {...restProps} ref={elementRef} className="MyAwesomeScrollbarsWrapper" />;
    },
  }}
  scrollerProps={{
    renderer: (props) => {
      const { elementRef, ...restProps } = props;
      return <span {...restProps} ref={elementRef} className="MyAwesomeScrollbarsScroller" />;
    },
  }}
  contentProps={{
    renderer: (props) => {
      const { elementRef, ...restProps } = props;
      return <span {...restProps} ref={elementRef} className="Content" />;
    },
  }}
  trackXProps={{
    renderer: (props) => {
      const { elementRef, ...restProps } = props;
      return <span {...restProps} ref={elementRef} className="TrackX" />;
    },
  }}
  trackYProps={{
    renderer: (props) => {
      const { elementRef, ...restProps } = props;
      return <span {...restProps} ref={elementRef} className="trackY" />;
    },
  }}
  thumbXProps={{
    renderer: (props) => {
      const { elementRef, ...restProps } = props;
      return <span {...restProps} ref={elementRef} className="ThUmBX" />;
    },
  }}
  thumbYProps={{
    renderer: (props) => {
      const { elementRef, ...restProps } = props;
      return <span {...restProps} ref={elementRef} className="tHuMbY" />;
    },
  }}
/>

Generated HTML

// scrollbar.holderElement
<div class="ScrollbarsCustom trackYVisible trackXVisible">
  // scrollbar.wrapperElement - the one that hiding native scrollbars
  <div class="ScrollbarsCustom-Wrapper">
    // scrollbar.scrollerElement - the one that actually has browser's scrollbars
    <div class="ScrollbarsCustom-Scroller">
      // scrollbar.contentElement - the one that holds tour content
      <div class="ScrollbarsCustom-Content">// YOUR CONTENT IS HERE</div>
    </div>
  </div>
  // scrollbar.trackYElement
  <div class="ScrollbarsCustom-Track ScrollbarsCustom-TrackY">
    // scrollbar.thumbYElement
    <div class="ScrollbarsCustom-Thumb ScrollbarsCustom-ThumbY" />
  </div>
  // scrollbar.trackXElement
  <div class="ScrollbarsCustom-Track ScrollbarsCustom-TrackX">
    // scrollbar.thumbXElement
    <div class="ScrollbarsCustom-Thumb ScrollbarsCustom-ThumbX" />
  </div>
</div>

If scrolling is possible or tracks are shown die to permanentScrollbar* prop - trackYVisible /trackXVisible classnames are applied to the holder element.
When thumb is dragged it'll have dragging classname.
If direction is RTL - rtl classname will be added to the holder element.
By default whole structure described above is rendered in spite of tracks visibility, but it can be changed by passing removeTrackXWhenNotUsed/removeTrackYWhenNotUsed /removeTracksWhenNotUsed props to the component. Respective tracks will not be rendered if it is unnecessary.
