Features
- Doesn't replace native system scroll mechanic.
- Customizable scrollbar design with full CSS support.
- Does not depend on external libraries (since v3).
- Can be inited on hidden blocks
- Vertical, horizontal and bidirectional scroll
- Infinite scroll
- Nested scrollers
Baron does not replace the native scrollbar, just hides it. This guarantees scrolling will work in any browser.
1. Hiding system scrollbar
- Include
baron.js
and some css:
<script src="baron.js"></script>
<style>
::-webkit-scrollbar { /* for Mac OS X support */
width: 0;
}
</style>
- Initialize baron on your scroller:
baron('.my-scroller');
2. Making your own custom-designed scrollbar
You can do everything you want with CSS of your custom scrollbar. There are some required and recommended css rules (see base css) – do not forget to use them. You can also use predefined skins.
Webpack
Just import baron and use it:
import baron from 'baron';
// or: const baron = require('baron');
baron({ scroller: ... });
Version for development
Note, that baron.js
is a development version. It contains additional code and log messages, to make the development process easier.
baron.min.js
is a production-ready version: weight less, works a little bit faster.
Nested scrollers
Baron supports nested scrollers. To make scrollers happy, follow the rule:
- Initialize baron instances from ancestor to descendant scrollers order.
Third World War will not begin if you break that rule, but there may be some bad user-experience with baron-instances updates (when size of one scroller depends on size of another). See /demo
source.
Browsers support
Baron uses two old CSS 2.1
technologies: 1) overflow: scroll
2) overflow: hidden
.

Wanna support ie6 and Opera 9? Try baron@2 version + jQuery. Version 3+ uses classList
API and style
attribute.
3.0 migration
- Make sure you are satisfied with new supported browser list.
- Remove
$
andevent
params if any. You also could remove jQuery from your page. - Make sure you have one html node per one initialization: multi-baron not supported.
pull
plugin removed, so you cannot use it anymore. But you can add it manually.
2.0 migration
impact
param default value changed to scroller
for all directions. That impact horizontal scrollbars.
If you use % cross-paddings (padding-left and padding-right for vertical direction) for scroller, it will be buggy in Mac OS X Firefox because of need for extra-padding to support it. Use pixels instead, or make html-container inside scroller.
Also, checkout changelog.
1.0 migration
If you have any problems, just set cssGuru
option to true
.
Chaining
Horizontal and bidirectional scroll
