Scroll Area

Live preview

Installation

pnpm dlx shadcn@latest add @sc1m/scroll-area

This also merges the token layer and installs src/lib/cn.ts plus @base-ui/react. For the manual route — prerequisites, components.json, and app-level setup — see Installation.

Usage

import {
  ScrollArea,
  ScrollAreaViewport,
  ScrollAreaScrollbar,
  ScrollAreaThumb,
  ScrollAreaContent,
  ScrollAreaCorner,
} from "@/components/ui/scroll-area";

Composition

Every part is a separate export. ScrollArea owns state; the rest are presentational and must appear in this order.

ScrollArea├── ScrollAreaViewport└── ScrollAreaScrollbar    └── ScrollAreaThumb

Example

The preview above, with its source. This is the demo module verbatim, so the code and the thing it renders cannot drift apart.

<ScrollArea className="h-48 w-64 rounded-md border border-line">
  <ScrollAreaViewport>
    <div className="p-4 text-sm text-fg">
      {Array.from({ length: 20 }, (_, i) => (
        <p key={i} className="py-1">
          Row {i + 1}
        </p>
      ))}
    </div>
  </ScrollAreaViewport>
  <ScrollAreaScrollbar orientation="vertical">
    <ScrollAreaThumb />
  </ScrollAreaScrollbar>
</ScrollArea>

API reference

Each part forwards every prop of its Base UI counterpart; the tables list the ones declared on the part itself. See Base UI's reference for the inherited element props.

Accessibility

Behaviour, focus management, and ARIA wiring come from Base UI's Scroll Area — see its reference for the full keyboard map.

Design tokens

The component reads semantic tokens only — no raw colour, radius, or duration appears in its source. Override the token, not the component.

Source

src/components/ui/scroll-area/scroll-area.tsx — no next/* imports, so it drops into any React 19 + Tailwind v4 app.
