Interactivity

Panda CSS provides a variety of utility classes to enhance interactivity and user experience on your web applications. These utilities cover aspects such as accent color, caret color, scrolling behavior, scrollbar customization, scroll margins and paddings, scroll snapping, touch actions, and user selection.

Accent Color

The accentColor utility class sets the accent color of an element. It supports colors tokens.

<div className={css({ accentColor: 'blue.500' })}>Accent color applied</div>

Caret Color

The caretColor utility class sets the color of the text cursor (caret) in an input or textarea. It supports colors tokens.

<input className={css({ caretColor: 'red.400' })} />

Wrapping long words

overflowWrap: 'anywhere' lets a flex or grid item shrink when a URL or long word would otherwise blow out the min-content size. break-word is the milder keyword.

css({ overflowWrap: 'anywhere' })

Scrollbar

scrollbar: 'hidden' hides the bar on standard CSS, WebKit, and legacy Edge. visible brings it back.

<div className={css({ scrollbar: 'hidden' })}>Scrollbar hidden</div>

Thickness is scrollbarWidth. Colors are two props that compose, same idea as masks: each one re-emits scrollbar-color from CSS variables, so you can set thumb, track, or both.

css({
  overflow: 'auto',
  scrollbarWidth: 'thin',
  scrollbarThumb: 'gray.400',
  scrollbarTrack: 'gray.100',
  scrollbarGutter: 'stable',
})

scrollbarColor is the escape hatch for a raw thumb track pair. Don't use it for a single color token. That's invalid CSS. Use scrollbarThumb / scrollbarTrack.

_scrollbarThumb and _scrollbarTrack are still there for extra WebKit styling the standard property can't express, like radius or a border. Use them for that, not for color.

Scroll Margin

Scroll margin utilities set margins around scroll containers.

<div className={css({ scrollMarginX: '2' })}>Scrollbar Container with Inline padding</div>

Scroll Padding

Scroll padding utilities set padding inside scroll containers.

<div className={css({ scrollPaddingY: '2' })}>Scrollbar Container with block padding</div>

Scroll Snapping

Scroll snapping utilities provide control over the scroll snap behavior.

Scroll Snap Margin

Scroll Snap Strictness

It's values can be mandatory or proximity values, and maps to var(--scroll-snap-strictness).

<div className={css({ scrollSnapStrictness: 'proximity' })}>Scroll container with proximity scroll snap</div>
