CHANGELOG.md

Changelog

2.7.3

Improvements

• Use { preventScroll: true } when focusing viewport to prevent unwanted scrolling. #629
• Make the scrollbars hidden when @media print applies.

2.7.2

Bug Fixes

• Handle case where document.defaultView is null. #627

2.7.1

Improvements

• When interacting with a scrollbar the viewport element gets focused under certain conditions. (Like e.g. the previously focused element is not and interactive element.)
• Move the environment styles from the stylesheet into javascript to remove the requirement of loaded styles for correct functionality.

2.7.0

Improvements

• Improvements for running in deno and bun.
• Initialization as the body element is now detected as such when the tag name of the target element is "body". Previously this detection was done with target === target.ownerDocument.body which would not work when creating a new body element in memory.
• If a non generated elements.viewport element is provided during initialization its scroll position will be taken as the initial scroll position instead of the scroll position of the target element.
• When interacting with the scrollbars itself the scrollbars.autoHideDelay will now apply when the scrollbars would be auto hidden when the interaction ends.

2.6.1

Bug Fixes

• Fully remove lingering IE11 compatibility code which overwrote previously set height styles.

2.6.0

Improvements

• Add focusin and focusout to the focus and blur event management when wrapping and unwrapping elements. #605
• The scrollbars.visibility option was unintuitive to use for adjusting visibility per axis. Its now only applied if the scrollbars scroll axis is able to have a scrollable overflow. #611

2.5.0

Breaking Changes

• Although not a major release, I've decided to drop IE11 support in this version. This change should be beneficial to the majority of users.
  • The size of the js bundle decreased by ~6%.
  • The size of the css bundle decreased by ~18%.
  • The fields flexboxGlue and cssCustomProperties are removed from the Environment. (returning object from OverlayScrollbars.env())

Improvements

• Streamlining of scroll related calculations, including RTL direction.
• Focus and Blur event management when wrapping and unwrapping elements during initialization and destroy. #605

2.4.7

Improvements

• Adapt the exports field in the package.json for correct commonjs and module handling.
• Additional types exports: Elements, State, CloneableScrollbarElements, ScrollbarElements, StaticInitialization and DynamicInitialization.
• Remove obsolete styles when initializing OverlayScrollbars on the body element and the browser supports native scrollbar hiding. #601
• Move code to the ScrollbarsHidingPlugin for better treeshaking.

2.4.6

Bug Fixes

• If the pointer (mouse, pen etc.) is interacting with the scrollbar, the autoHide option will wait until the interaction is finished. #597
• ScrollTimeline animations are not canceled anymore when they are updated. Instead the animations keyframe effect is switched out preventing flickering. #598

2.4.5

Improvements

• Its now possible to have a height / width transition on the scrollbar-handle. #587

2.4.4

Bug Fixes

• Fix a bug where ScrollTimeline animation keyframe could contain NaN or Infinity values triggering a warning. #581
• Treat explicitly assigned undefined values for options as if they would be left out. #586

2.4.3

Bug Fixes

• Bug where the instance wasn't updated when the window resized. #578

Improvements

• Further improvements to the update strategy to make finer grained updates.

2.4.2

Improvements

• Makes custom instance plugins compatible with "pure" environments such as react and all other component frameworks / libraries.

2.4.1

Improvements

• Add compatibility exports field to package.json so the 'overlayscrollbars/styles/overlayscrollbars.css' import works in all node versions. #570

2.4.0

Features

• Finalize and document the plugin system which makes it possible to create "static" and / or "instance" plugins.
• The static OverlayScrollbars.plugin function returns a "static" plugins instance(s) for the registered plugins.
• A new instance.plugin function which returns a "instance" plugins instance.
• window resize events will now update instances only if it is needed and only what is needed.

Improvements

• Small internal rewrite to improve stability, performance and bundle size.
• Improvements the documentation and README.

2.3.2

Bug Fixes

• The element.animate api is only called when the browser supports the ScrollTimeline API. #562

2.3.1

Bug Fixes

• Fix direction rtl visual scrollbar handle behavior in browser which support the ScrollTimeline API.
• Fix double tap behavior for interactive elements on iOS devices if autoHide is leave or move. #560 #285
• Fix incorrect scrollbar handle calculation when overscroll on safari occurred. #559

2.3.0

Features

• Make use of the new ScrollTimeline API in supported browsers.
• Add the option scrollbars.autoHideSuspend to make it possible to suspend the autoHide functionality until the first scroll interaction was performed. The default value for this option is false for backwards compatibility reasons but is recommended to be true for better accessibility.
• Add a CSS selector to bridge deferred initializations visually.

Bug Fixes

• Fix a bug where a change wasn't detected properly when the target element was hidden initially. #546
• Fixed a bug where the scroll offset was reset to 0 sometimes after initialization when the target was the body element.

Improvements

• Add online examples to README.

2.2.1

Bug Fixes

• Fix an issue where the viewport element could be wider than the host element. #538

Improvements

• Instead of offsetWidth & offsetHeight use the corresponding properties from the getBoundingClientRect object to increase accuracy of scrollbar calculations. #542

2.2.0

Improvements

• Force the scroll-behavior css property to be auto when the user interacts with a scrollbar to prevent smooth scrolling to apply where it shouldn't. #515
• The viewort, padding and content elements don't use the class attribute anymore for their styling. Instead each of them uses its own data-overlayscrollbars-* attribute. This has been done so that 3rd party libraries aren't conflicting with classnames from overlayscrollbars or vice versa. Selectors like .os-viewport, .os-padding or .os-content won't work anymore. #526 #530

2.1.1

Bug Fixes

• Fixed a bug where pointer events weren't released properly after drag or click scrolling. #512

Improvements

• The os-theme-dark and os-theme-light themes now use border-box box-sizing as their default.
• Improve the README.md documentation for initialization, styling and and the browser global version. #509

2.1.0

Bug Fixes

• Fix a bug where initial RTL direction wasn't detected properly.

Features

• Introduce CSS Custom Properties to improve theming and styling of scrollbars. #478

Improvements

• Improve pointer event handling on scrollbar handle and track.
• Improve the README documentation with a styling section.

2.0.3

Bug Fixes

• Revert the viewport and padding style position: relative change introduced in v2.0.2 due to breaking behavior. #489 is considered a design limitation.

2.0.2

Bug Fixes

• The viewport and padding elements won't have the style position: relative anymore if its not needed. The style is only needed for older browsers. (#489)

2.0.1

Bug Fixes

• The custom scrollbars are now always hidden if the showNativeOverlaidScrollbars option is true.

Improvements

• The initialization to the body element respects now overflow: hidden style overrides of the html and body element. (#477)
• data-overlayscrollbars-initialize is now automatically removed if the instance is destroyed or canceled.
• data-overlayscrollbars-initialize now always sets overflow: auto to prevent elements to be suddenly cropped after initialization.
• removed obsolete !important styles

2.0.0

OverlayScrollbars was rewritten from the ground up in TypeScript in a functional manner. The rewrite comes with multiple benefits:

• The library is much smaller now (about 50% smaller fully treeshaken)
• Modern browsers benefit greatly because compat code is inside plugins which are treeshaken if unused
• Multiple performance optimizations were made due to the new structure
• Framework Components benefit of the pure parameter for options and events (same input produces same output)
• TypeScript definitions are always up to date (@types/overlayscrollbars is obsolete now)

New Features:

• If applied to body all the native functionality in modern browsers (e.g. swipe down to refresh on mobile, scroll restoration etc.) is preserved (#376, #425, #273, #320)
• If you scroll while the cursor hovers a scrollbar element the viewport is now scrolled (#128, #322)
• The initialization process can be fully customized now. This makes it possible to itegrate with other plugins / libraries (#432, #304, #149, #148, #139, #49)
• Scrollbars can be cloned and positioned anywhere in the DOM tree. (#404, #323, #158, #17)
• The update behavior of the MutationObserver for the content can be customized with the update options. (#307, #183, #23)
• Works now without adjustments with CSS-Grid, CSS-Flexbox etc.
• Supports all kind of input devices additionally to mouse and touch. (Uses native pointer-events now)
• Exports a esm version which can be treeshaken

Breaking changes:

• Browser support changed. The minimal version is now IE11.

• There is no default export anymore. The main entry point is now the OverlayScrollbars named export.

• The styles are now exported under a different path. Read the docs for more info.

• The scroll function is missing. (WIP will be added as a plugin)

• Initialization to textarea element is not suppored. (WIP will be added as a plugin)

• extensions are replaced with plugins. Plugins are more powerful but work nothing like extensions.

• Any helper functions for extensions are removed.

• TypesScript definitions changed completely.

• CSS styles changed completely.

• There is no jQuery version anymore and no jQuery compat functionality

• The following changed for the initialization:

  • Arrays of elements are not supported anymore. If you want to initialize the plugin to multiple elements, you have to loop over them.
  • Since the initialization is now fully customizable, the plugin won't have special behavior anymore if it has children with os- classnames
  • The third parameter are events now instead of eventsions since extensions are removed

• The following options were removed / replaced / renamed:

  • resize is removed
  • sizeAutoCapable is removed (works always now)

  • nativeScrollbarsOverlaid.showNativeScrollbars: is renamed to showNativeOverlaidScrollbars
  • scrollbars.dragScrolling is renamed to scrollbars.dragScroll
  • scrollbars.clickScrolling is renamed to scrollbars.clickScroll and animates the scroll change only with the ClickScrollPlugin otherwise its instant
  • scrollbars.touchSupport is replaced with scrollbars.pointers
  • scrollbars.snapHandle is removed
  • textarea is removed since textarea initialization isn't possible yet
  • callbacks is removed / replaced with the events concept. You can pass listeners / callback separately to the options. The this context is now undefined as a replacement each event recieves the instance as its first argument.

    • onScrollStop is removed
    • onInitialized is replaced with the initialized event
    • onUpdated is replaced with the updated the

• If you used any fields from the globals() result, please refer to the TypeScript definitions for the correct replacement in env()

Theming changes:

• Because scrollbars can be cloned and positioned anywhere in the DOM, themes which worked in v1 have to be adapted slightly:
  • .os-scrollbar elements now don't rely on its parent element. Selectors like .os-theme-dark > .os-scrollbar-vertical are now .os-theme-dark.os-scrollbar-vertical
  • the .os-host-rtl class is replaced with .os-scrollbar-rtl. Selectors like .os-theme-dark.os-host-rtl > .os-scrollbar-horizontal are now .os-theme-dark.os-scrollbar-rtl.os-scrollbar-horizontal
