scroll-lock

Cross-browser JavaScript library to disable scrolling page

Live demo | README на русском

New features 2.0

  • More advanced touch event handling algorithm
  • Horizontal scrolling support
  • Support for nested scrollable elements
  • Support for nested textarea and contenteditable
  • New API

Installation

Via npm or yarn

npm install scroll-lock
# or
yarn add scroll-lock
//es6 import
import { disablePageScroll, enablePageScroll } from 'scroll-lock';

//or
import scrollLock from 'scroll-lock';
scrollLock.disablePageScroll();
//...

//require
const scrollLock = require('scroll-lock');
scrollLock.disablePageScroll();
//...

Via script tag

<script src="path/to/scroll-lock.min.js"></script>
<script>
  scrollLock.disablePageScroll();
  //...
</script>

The es6 import will be used further in the examples, but these methods will also be available from the scrollLock object.

Disable page scrolling

When you call the disablePageScroll method, scrolling is also disabled in iOS and other touch devices (essence of the problem). But scrolling on touch devices will be disabled on all elements. To do this, you must explicitly specify which element will scroll on the page.

import { disablePageScroll, enablePageScroll } from 'scroll-lock';

//Get the element that should scroll when page scrolling is disabled
const $scrollableElement = document.querySelector('.my-scrollable-element');

//Pass the element to the argument and disable scrolling on the page
disablePageScroll($scrollableElement);

// Also, pass the element to the argument and enable scrolling on the page
enablePageScroll($scrollableElement);

Alternatively, you can specify the data-scroll-lock-scrollable attribute of the scrollable element.

<div class="my-scrollable-element" data-scroll-lock-scrollable></div>

textarea and contenteditable

If a textarea or contenteditable is nested in a scrollable element, then do not worry, they will scroll without explicit indication.

Filling the gap

When the disablePageScroll method is called, the scroll-lock indicates overflow: hidden; for body, thereby hiding the scroll bar. In some operating systems, the scroll bar has its physical width on the page, thus we get the effect of "displacement":



To prevent this, scroll-lock calculates the scroll bar width when calling the disablePageScroll method and fills in the space for the body element.



But this does not work for elements with fixed positioning. To do this, you must explicitly indicate which element needs to fill in the space.

import { addFillGapTarget, addFillGapSelector } from 'scroll-lock';

//selector
addFillGapSelector('.my-fill-gap-selector');

//element
const $fillGapElement = document.querySelector('.my-fill-gap-element');
addFillGapTarget($fillGapElement);

Or you can specify the data-scroll-lock-fill-gap attribute.

<div class="my-fill-gap-element" data-scroll-lock-fill-gap></div>

Queue

A call to the disablePageScroll method creates a queue of calls. If you call the disablePageScroll method twice in a row, and then enablePageScroll, the page scrolling is not activated, because the enablePageScroll method will need to be called a second time.
If for some reason you need to activate scrolling the page out of turn, use the clearQueueScrollLocks method:

import { disablePageScroll, clearQueueScrollLocks } from 'scroll-lock';

disablePageScroll();
disablePageScroll();
disablePageScroll();
disablePageScroll();

enablePageScroll();
console.log(getScrollState()); //false

clearQueueScrollLocks();
enablePageScroll();
console.log(getScrollState()); //true

API

disablePageScroll(scrollableTarget)

Hides the scroll bar and disables page scrolling.

  • scrollableTarget - (HTMLElement | NodeList | HTMLElement array) scrollable element
import { disablePageScroll } from 'scroll-lock';

const $scrollableElement = document.querySelector('.my-scrollable-element');
disablePageScroll($scrollableElement);

enablePageScroll(scrollableTarget)

Shows the scroll bar and enables page scrolling.

  • scrollableTarget - (HTMLElement | NodeList | HTMLElement array) scrollable element
import { enablePageScroll } from 'scroll-lock';

const $scrollableElement = document.querySelector('.my-scrollable-element');
enablePageScroll($scrollableElement);

getScrollState()

Returns the state of the page scroll bar.

import { disablePageScroll, getScrollState } from 'scroll-lock';

console.log(getScrollState()); //true
disablePageScroll();
console.log(getScrollState()); //false

clearQueueScrollLocks()

Clears the queue value.

import { disablePageScroll, enablePageScroll, clearQueueScrollLocks, getScrollState } from 'scroll-lock';

disablePageScroll();
disablePageScroll();
disablePageScroll();
disablePageScroll();

enablePageScroll();
console.log(getScrollState()); //false

clearQueueScrollLocks();
enablePageScroll();
console.log(getScrollState()); //true

getPageScrollBarWidth(onlyExists)

Returns the width of the scroll bar.

  • onlyExists - (Boolean) only if scroll bar is exists
    Default value: false
import { getPageScrollBarWidth } from 'scroll-lock';

document.body.style.overflow = 'scroll';
console.log(getPageScrollBarWidth()); //Number
disablePageScroll();
console.log(getPageScrollBarWidth(true)); //Number
document.body.style.overflow = 'hidden';
console.log(getPageScrollBarWidth()); //Number
console.log(getPageScrollBarWidth(true)); //0

getCurrentPageScrollBarWidth()

Returns the width of the scroll bar to specific moment.

import { disablePageScroll, getCurrentPageScrollBarWidth } from 'scroll-lock';

console.log(getCurrentPageScrollBarWidth()); //Number
disablePageScroll();
console.log(getCurrentPageScrollBarWidth()); //0

removeFillGapSelector('.my-fill-gap-selector');

addFillGapTarget(fillGapTarget)

Fills the gap at the element.

  • fillGapTarget - (HTMLElement | NodeList | HTMLElement array) a fill gap element
