This barebones little jQuery plugin adds easily horizontal and vertical scrolling, with support for touch/mouse dragging. By default, it modifies the scrollTop and scrollLeft values of an element, however it can be configured to use top and left CSS values instead, so that you can emulate scrolling on absolutely positioned elements :)

BYO jQuery, and no dependencies.

Installation

To install, you can simply include the main script in your header, after jQuery has been included.

If you're using Webpack/Browserify, you can just do

npm install jquery-scroller

If you're requireing the module, you'll want to do:

const jQuery = require('jquery')
require('jquery-scroller')(jQuery)
