scroll-padding

Utilities for controlling an element's scroll offset within a snap container.

Source: https://tailwindcss.com/guide/scroll-padding

Quick reference

Prefixes map to properties:

• scroll-p*: scroll-padding
• scroll-px/*-py/*-ps/*-pe/*-pt/*-pr/*-pb/*-pl: per-side logical/physical

Supports: <number>, negative, (<var>), [<value>].

Examples

Basic example

Use utilities like scroll-pl-6 and scroll-pt-8 to control the scroll offset within a snap container:

<div class="snap-x scroll-pl-6 ...">
  <div class="snap-start ...">
    <img src="/img/vacation-01.jpg" />
  </div>
  <!-- ... -->
</div>

Using logical properties

Use logical properties like scroll-ps-6 to control the scroll padding based on the writing direction:

<div dir="ltr">
  <div class="snap-x scroll-ps-6 ...">
    <!-- ... -->
  </div>
</div>

<div dir="rtl">
  <div class="snap-x scroll-ps-6 ...">
    <!-- ... -->
  </div>
</div>

Using negative values

Use negative values to reduce the scroll padding:

<div class="-scroll-ps-6 snap-x ...">
  <!-- ... -->
</div>

Using a custom value

Use the scroll-padding-[<value>] syntax to set the scroll padding based on a completely custom value:

<div class="scroll-padding-[24rem] ...">
  <!-- ... -->
</div>

For CSS variables, you can also use the scroll-padding-(<custom-property>) syntax:

<div class="scroll-padding-(--my-padding) ...">
  <!-- ... -->
</div>

This is just a shorthand for scroll-padding-[var(<custom-property>)] that adds the var() function for you automatically.

Responsive design

Prefix a scroll-padding utility with a breakpoint variant like md: to only apply the utility at medium screen sizes and above:

<div class="scroll-p-8 md:scroll-p-0 ...">
  <!-- ... -->
</div>
