      </ScrollShadow>

  );
}

Customizing the component classes

To customize the ScrollShadow component classes, you can use the @layer components directive.
Learn more.

@layer components {
  .scroll-shadow {
    @apply rounded-xl border border-default-200;
  }

  .scroll-shadow--vertical {
    @apply pr-2; /* Add padding for custom scrollbar styling */
  }

  .scroll-shadow--horizontal {
    @apply pb-2;
  }
}

HeroUI follows the BEM methodology to ensure component variants and states are reusable and easy to customize.

CSS Classes

The ScrollShadow component uses these CSS classes (View source styles):

Base Classes

  • .scroll-shadow - Root container element

Orientation Variants

  • .scroll-shadow--vertical - Vertical scrolling (default)
  • .scroll-shadow--horizontal - Horizontal scrolling

State Modifiers

  • .scroll-shadow--hide-scrollbar - Hides native scrollbar

CSS Variables

The ScrollShadow component uses CSS variables to size the fade mask and reserve space for visible native scrollbars:

VariableDefaultDescription
--scroll-shadow-size40pxControls the fade gradient size. This is set from the size prop.
--scroll-shadow-scrollbar-size10px (0px when hideScrollBar)Reserves a solid mask gutter for the native scrollbar so the fade does not cover it. Override for wider scrollbars.

Data Attributes

The component uses data attributes to control shadow visibility:

  • Scroll States: [data-top-scroll], [data-bottom-scroll], [data-left-scroll], [data-right-scroll] - Applied when content can be scrolled in that direction
  • Combined States: [data-top-bottom-scroll], [data-left-right-scroll] - Applied when content can be scrolled in both directions
  • Orientation: [data-orientation="vertical"] or [data-orientation="horizontal"] - Indicates scroll direction
  • Size: [data-scroll-shadow-size] - Contains the shadow gradient size value
