Demo on Codesandbox

This is horizontal scrolling menu component for React. Menu component has adaptive width, just set width for parent container. Items width will be determinated from css styles. Note: don't set margin for item wrapper, use padding instead. Can use margin for item element those you pass as props.

For navigation you can use arrows, mouse wheel or just drag items.

Component return items position, selected item and click event from callbacks.

Possible set default position and selected item on initialization.

Add star if you like project :)

npm install --save react-horizontal-scrolling-menu

In project:

import React, { Component } from 'react';
import ScrollMenu from 'react-horizontal-scrolling-menu';
import './App.css';

// list of items
const list = [
  { name: 'item1' },
  { name: 'item2' },
  { name: 'item3' },
  { name: 'item4' },
  { name: 'item5' },
  { name: 'item6' },
  { name: 'item7' },
  { name: 'item8' },
  { name: 'item9' }
];

// One item component
// selected prop will be passed
const MenuItem = ({text, selected}) => {
  return <div
    className={`menu-item ${selected ? 'active' : ''}`}
    >{text}</div>;
};

// All items component
// Important! add unique key
export const Menu = (list, selected) =>
  list.map(el => {
    const {name} = el;

    return <MenuItem text={name} key={name} selected={selected} />;
  });


const Arrow = ({ text, className }) => {
  return (
    <div
      className={className}
    >{text}</div>
  );
};


const ArrowLeft = Arrow({ text: '<', className: 'arrow-prev' });
const ArrowRight = Arrow({ text: '>', className: 'arrow-next' });

const selected = 'item1';

class App extends Component {
  constructor(props) {
    super(props);
    // call it again if items count changes
    this.menuItems = Menu(list, selected);
  }

  state = {
    selected
  };

  onSelect = key => {
    this.setState({ selected: key });
  }


  render() {
    const { selected } = this.state;
    // Create menu from items
    const menu = this.menuItems;

    return (
      <div className="App">
        <ScrollMenu
          data={menu}
          arrowLeft={ArrowLeft}
          arrowRight={ArrowRight}
          selected={selected}
          onSelect={this.onSelect}
        />
      </div>
    );
  }
}

In App.css

.menu-item {
  padding: 0 40px;
  margin: 5px 10px;

}
.menu-item-wrapper.active {

You can clone repository and run demo project from examples folder.

git clone https://github.com/asmyshlyaev177/react-horizontal-scrolling-menu
cd react-horizontal-scrolling-menu/examples
npm install
npm run start

You can scroll left/right via componentRef.handleArrowClick() and componentRef.handleArrowClickRight() functions.

Can get other properties in component state - const { leftArrowVisible, rightArrowVisible, selected, translate } = componentRef.state

Can simulate click with componentRef.onItemClick('item4')

Can select and scroll to item with componentRef.scrollTo('item14')

• Menu items must have width, if items contains images and images don't loaded yeat it can be problem. Generally component will try to determine width of items, if it can't you can assign ref to component and call $ref.setInitial() manually when items have width for sure.

• Browser must support requestAnimationFrame or use polyfill.

• It can doesn't work in IE, and I don't care, I am not a necrophile.(if you need it you can make PR, I will merge)
