Using Vue Horizontal

You can display horizontal content like you would do with just any other HTML content vertically. Naturally, that would allow you to use v-for for a consistent design template.

  • Any HTML structure works, you can mix and match them up.
  • Use v-for and/or v-if with any div or component
  • Navigation left, right button will automatically appear if there are any items overflowing
  • Trackpad and touch scrolling will work as expected.

HTML Tag

As you can see these are just html elements.

Don't have to be the same tag

I used a h4 instead of a h3

Navigation Button

The navigation button will appear if there is an overflow.

Scroll

You can just trackpad to scroll still!

Touch screen

Touch screen works too!

v-for: 0

🚀 Paragraph 0

v-for: 1

🚀 Paragraph 1

v-for: 2

🚀 Paragraph 2

v-for: 3

🚀 Paragraph 3

v-for: 4

🚀 Paragraph 4

Last item?

Maybe you want to display something different at the end?

Responsive

It comes with default set of responsive breakpoints that is disabled by default. We believe that CSS should be written by the users and not controlled by a library. However, for the sake of convenience, you can use enable it with the responsive prop. Check out responsive 101 for a detailed write-up about responsive horizontal design.

Breakpoints

They are created in CSS with media queries, the viewport of the screen (your browser actual width).

  • < 640px 1 item in container
  • < 768px 2 item in container
  • < 1024px 3 item in container
  • < 1280px 4 item in container
  • > 1280px 5 item in container

  • Due to the varying nature of margins, padding, box-sizing and content-sizing, next/prev are done on best effort basis.
    • Default implementation should work for 95% of the use cases.
    • Alternatively you can use scrollToIndex of scrollToLeft.
  • Snapping might not work as expected if smoothscroll is polyfill-ed.
