# layout.scroller

Content wider than its column, which the reader scrolls sideways: a table with many columns, a long line of code, a board. Give it tabIndex={0} and an aria-label, so keyboard users can scroll it too

Component: [`<Layout>`](https://www.prongs.dev/docs/components/layout.md) · Renders: `<div>` · Role: `region` · Profile: [UI](https://www.prongs.dev/docs/intents/ui.md)

## Example

```tsx
<Layout intent="layout.scroller">
  …
</Layout>
```

## Choosing between neighbours

Find the row that describes your element, and use the intent on the right.

| If it is for… | Use |
|---|---|
| Content wider than its column, which the reader scrolls sideways: a table with many columns, a long line of code, a board. Give it tabIndex={0} and an aria-label, so keyboard users can scroll it too | `layout.scroller` (this page) |
| Content that fits its column | [`layout.group`](https://www.prongs.dev/docs/intents/layout/group.md) |

## Connections

Declared in the registry, both directions. Where an intent is used in your own code is something check and the gallery see; this site has no app code.

## For registry authors

**Starter intents.** These are the intents `prongs add` puts in your registry, shown in this site’s theme. Yours are your own `registry.ts`: rename, restyle and add to them, and see them with `prongs add gallery`.

What this intent is built from and its entry in `components/prongs/registry.ts`. You only need this to change how it looks or to add an intent like it.

How layout.scroller resolves, and its definition

Each layer adds to the one before it; a later class wins over an earlier one that sets the same thing.

- [`arrange.stack`](https://www.prongs.dev/docs/intents/ui.md#arrange-stack) — Children in a column, free to shrink inside a row or grid

  ```
  flex min-w-0 flex-col
  ```

- `layout.scroller` (this page) — Content wider than its column, which the reader scrolls sideways: a table with many columns, a long line of code, a board. Give it tabIndex={0} and an aria-label, so keyboard users can scroll it too

  ```
  max-w-full overflow-x-auto overscroll-x-contain
  ```
