Previous version V1

This is a highly customizable horizontal scrolling menu component for React. Can also use it for Amazon like items block or a Gallery. Menu component is responsive, just set width for parent container. Items width will be determined from CSS styles.

For navigation, you can use scrollbar, native touch scroll, mouse wheel or drag by mouse.

Component provide context with visible items and helpers.

Possible set default position on initialization.

Check out examples on Storybook or codesandbox.

NextJS issues

Cannot use import statement outside a module

Quick start

npm install --save [email protected] // last version has a bug

test In project:

import React from 'react';
import { ScrollMenu, VisibilityContext } from 'react-horizontal-scrolling-menu';
import 'react-horizontal-scrolling-menu/dist/styles.css';

const getItems = () =>
  Array(20)
    .fill(0)
    .map((_, ind) => ({ id: `element-${ind}` }));

function App() {
  const [items, setItems] = React.useState(getItems);
  const [selected, setSelected] = React.useState([]);

  const isItemSelected = (id) => !!selected.find((el) => el === id);

  const handleClick =
    (id) =>
    ({ getItemById, scrollToItem }) => {
      const itemSelected = isItemSelected(id);

      setSelected((currentSelected) =>
        itemSelected
          ? currentSelected.filter((el) => el !== id)
          : currentSelected.concat(id),
      );
    };

  return (
    <ScrollMenu LeftArrow={LeftArrow} RightArrow={RightArrow}>
      {items.map(({ id }) => (
        <Card
          itemId={id} // NOTE: itemId is required for track items
          title={id}
          key={id}
          onClick={handleClick(id)}
          selected={isItemSelected(id)}
        />
      ))}
    </ScrollMenu>
  );
}

const LeftArrow = () => {
  const visibility = React.useContext < publicApiType > VisibilityContext;
  const isFirstItemVisible = visibility.useIsVisible('first', true);
  return (
    <Arrow
      disabled={isFirstItemVisible}
      onClick={() => visibility.scrollPrev()}
      className="left"
    >
      Left
    </Arrow>
  );
};

const RightArrow = () => {
  const visibility = React.useContext < publicApiType > VisibilityContext;
  const isLastItemVisible = visibility.useIsVisible('last', false);
  return (
    <Arrow
      disabled={isLastItemVisible}
      onClick={() => visibility.scrollNext()}
      className="right"
    >
      Right
    </Arrow>
  );
};

function Card({ onClick, selected, title, itemId }) {
  const visibility = React.useContext < publicApiType > VisibilityContext;
  const visible = visibility.useIsVisible(itemId, true);

  return (
    <div
      onClick={() => onClick(visibility)}
      style={{
        width: '160px',
      }}
      tabIndex={0}
    >
      <div className="card">
        <div>{title}</div>
        <div>visible: {JSON.stringify(visible)}</div>
        <div>selected: {JSON.stringify(!!selected)}</div>
      </div>
      <div
        style={{
          height: '200px',
        }}
      />
    </div>
  );
}

export default App;

Helpers and api

Children of main ScrollMenu component(arrows, fotter, items) can use VisibilityContext to access state and callbacks. Function callbacks also pass context, eg onWheel, onScroll etc.

Properties and callbacks

Prop	Signature
LeftArrow	React component for left arrow
RightArrow	React component for right arrow
Header	React component Header
Footer	React component Footer
onWheel	(VisibilityContext, event) => void
onScroll	(VisibilityContext, event) => void, will fire before scroll
onInit	(VisibilityContext) => void
apiRef	React.RefObject | React.RefCallback
options	options for IntersectionObserver - rootMargin, threshold, and ratio to consider element visible
containerRef	React.RefObject | React.RefCallback
onUpdate	(VisibilityContext) => void
onMouseDown	(VisibilityContext) => (React.MouseEventHandler) => void
onMouseLeave	(VisibilityContext) => (React.MouseEventHandler) => void
onMouseUp	(VisibilityContext) => (React.MouseEventHandler) => void
onMouseMove	(VisibilityContext) => (React.MouseEventHandler) => void
onTouchMove	(VisibilityContext) => (React.TouchEventHandler) => void
onTouchStart	(VisibilityContext) => (React.TouchEventHandler) => void
onTouchEnd	(VisibilityContext) => (React.TouchEventHandler) => void
itemClassName	ClassName of Item
scrollContainerClassName	ClassName of scrollContainer
transitionDuration	Duration of transitions in ms, default 500
transitionBehavior	'smooth' |'auto' | customFunction
wrapperClassName	ClassName of the outer-most div
RTL	Enable Right to left direction
noPolyfill	Don't use polyfill for scroll, no transitions, true by default

VisibilityContext

Prop	Signature
useIsVisible	(itemId: string, defaultValue?: false) => boolean
getItemById	itemId => IOItem | undefined
getItemElementById	itemId => DOM Element | null
getItemByIndex	index => IOItem | undefined
getItemElementByIndex	index => DOM Element | null
getNextElement	() => IOItem | undefined
getPrevElement	() => IOItem | undefined
isFirstItemVisible	boolean
isItemVisible	itemId => boolean
isLastItem	boolean
isLastItemVisible	boolean
menuVisible	{ current: boolean }
scrollNext	(behavior, inline, block, ScrollOptions) => void
scrollPrev	(behavior, inline, block, ScrollOptions) => void
scrollToItem	(item, behavior, inline, block, ScrollOptions) => void
items	ItemsMap class instance
scrollContainer	Ref

items class instance

ItemsMap class store info about all items and has methods to get currently visible items, prev/next item. Also, can subscribe to updates.

Prop/method	Description
subscribe	subscribe for events for itemId or first, last, onInit, onUpdate, eg. items.subscribe('item5', (item) => setVisible(item.visible))
unsubscribe	use in useEffect to cleanup, pass same cb instance
getVisible	return only visible items
toItems	return ids for all items
toArr	return all items
first	return first item
last	return last item
prev	(itemId | Item) => previous item | undefined
next	(itemId | Item) => next item | undefined

Transition/Animation

NOTE: won't work with RTL prop

Can use transitionDuration, and transitionBehavior See example

ScrollOptions for scrollToItem, scrollPrev, scrollNext

Will override transition* options passed to ScrollMenu

{
  // target,
  behavior, // 'smooth', 'auto' or custom function
    // inline,
    // block,
    {
      duration: number, // number in milliseconds
    };
}

Other helpers

slidingWindow

Can get previous or next visible group of items with slidingWindow(allItems: string[], visibleItems: string[]) helper, e.g

slidingWindow(allItems, visibleItems)
.prev()
//.next()

getItemsPos

Can get first, center and last items, e.g.

const prevGroup = slidingWindow(allItems, visibleItems).prev()
const { first, center: centerItem, last } = getItemsPos(prevGroup)

// and scroll to center item of previous group of items
scrollToItem(getItemById(centerItem, 'smooth', 'center'))

Check out examples

apiRef

Can pass Ref object to Menu, current value will assigned as VisibilityContext. But some other values can be staled, so better use it only for firing functions like scrollToItem.

For scrolling use apiRef.scrollToItem(apiRef.getItemElementById) instead of apiRef.scrollToItem(apiRef.getItemById).

Can get item outside of context via apiRef.getItemElementById(id) or directly via document.querySelector(`[data-key='${itemId}']`). See apiRef example and Add item and scroll to it

Browser support

• Browser must support IntersectionObserver API and requestAnimationFrame or use polyfills.
• Only modern browsers, no IE or smart toasters
