vue3-perfect-scrollbar

A minimalistic yet powerful Vue.js wrapper for Perfect Scrollbar.

🔍 Considerations Before Using Custom Scrollbars

Before implementing custom scrollbars, consider their potential impact on user experience. Native scrollbar styling, as supported by browsers like Chromeoor Firefox often provides a good balance of customization without sacrificing usability. Check out Chrome’s documentation on scrollbar styling to see if it meets your needs. If your project requires precise design alignment that native options can’t provide, then vue3-perfect-scrollbar is a solid choice.

📦 Installation

Using npm

npm install vue3-perfect-scrollbar

Using yarn

🆘 Bug Reporting

Found a bug? Here’s where to report it:

• If it’s about the vue3-perfect-scrollbar wrapper (like how it works with Vue, or issues with props and events), please report these bugs on our vue3-perfect-scrollbar GitHub repo.

• If the bug is with the Perfect Scrollbar itself (like problems with how it scrolls or looks), you should report it to the official Perfect Scrollbar repo. Remember, vue3-perfect-scrollbar is just a wrapper to make Perfect Scrollbar work with Vue. It doesn’t change how Perfect Scrollbar works. So, if there’s something wrong with the scrollbar behavior, the Perfect Scrollbar team needs to know.
