In Vue Horizontal, smooth scrolling is enabled by default. With scroll-behavior: smooth, it enables smooth scrolling experience when scroll event is triggered by programmatic calls. Although this is not a breaking functional feature, it provides a "smooth" scrolling user experience.

As of December 2020, there is only a 76% cross browser compatibility (88% if you include Safari experimental feature flag). Meantime you should polyfill this feature with more information provided here. Polyfill should be done by the user, there are no plans to incorporate this natively in the library.

Scroll snap align or scroll-snapping, is a CSS technique that allows customizable scrolling experiences like pagination of carousels by setting defined snap positions. Vue Horizontal has it enabled by default, to disable you can set <vue-horizontal snap="none">.

As of December 2020, there is a 94%+ cross browser compatibility. You can choose to polyfill this, but it's more of an aesthetic feature rather than a breaking functional requirement.

Setup, develop & test.

npm install # install
npm run serve # dev
npm run cypress:run # e2e testing

• End-to-end test cases are also written because of the UI nature of this framework. Cypress is used under the hood.
• There are also additional integration testing done to ensure SSR and SSG works.

• For any question or feature request please feel free to create an issue or pull request.
• For feature request, do check out the examples as some of them might have been implemented.

Originally, this project started out as another project called vue-horizontal-list. I created the origin project because I liked how AirBnb does their horizontal layout. I couldn't find a library that implements it vue natively without relying on a legacy js/jquery dependency.

This project is another take on it with an ultra simple implementation that is extensible and moves the responsibility to the user rather than the library.
