Man love this tutorial, the fact that you explain what a particular css property does is amazing. Always needed someone to help me understand what a property actually does. I'll be visiting your channel every now and then for these css tips!
You literally just read my mind. Been looking for a tutorial like this. Much appreciation sir
Hadn't heard of Open props before, so yes, more explanation would be welcome. Thank you very much Kevin.
To be honest I am not fan of css but after following you for almost a year your are changing my thoughts on css and how enjoyable can be working on it , your videos ( not matter the topic ) is clear, easy to understand and supported with great examples . Well done Kevin. And same as everyone looking forward for open props too
Wow. I was already working on creating a horizontal layout and was completely frustrated at not being able to create the way I thought. Thanks to Kevin for creating this video 👍
I want you to teach everything, seriously. Your teaching style is so good and easy to follow.
Thank you so much :)
So good. We have been doing grid for years, but still learn from your videos. Top content for any web app dev.
Would love to see a video on open props. This is the first I'm hearing of it but definitely something that seems worth exploring!!
I was wondering just this morning how to implement snap horizontal scrolling. You’ve saved me a couple of hours work. Perfect timing!
I've been coding for a little over six weeks now and your videos have really helped me stay encouraged. Thanks, Kevin!
Did you make it?
Wonderful video Kevin, I learned a lot. You explain things very clearly, not only to show us how to do something but telling us why we might want to do something too.
This is crazy i was googling like crazy for a good video on this and I cant believe you ended up posting one right away the next day. I LOVE YOUUUUUU !!
Yes please! I would gladly dive into watching video about open properties as well! Looks so helpful to boost creativity on projects!
Nice work KP. Your tutorials make grid less scary. May the force be with you
I always learn something new on this channel! I didn't know CSS supported snapping or that overflow scroll behaviour thing, which is handy.
For the spacing not being related to the .snaps-inline class. What I always do in these cases is use the multiple class selector, e.g., .media-scroller.snaps-inline and put the property on that. This way, .snaps-inline can be reused and have specific padding (or no padding) for other types of elements. The snap padding also isn't mucking up the .media-scroller. It only applies where both classes are used.
PS: I once made an HTML/CSS-only scroller/carousel (more like Netflix with prev/next buttons) with radio buttons and old school HTML/CSS. I used hidden radio buttons before each slide (2 before first slide and none before last slide... explained later) and used labels for the slides that pointed to the radio button before the previous slide. When you clicked on a slide, the before the previous slide would become selected. This way, I could use the :checked + .slide selector to select the previous slide, :checked + .slide + * + .slide to select the current slide, and :checked + .slide + * + .slide + * + .slide to select the next slide. Because each slide was a label, clicking the slide itself took you to that slide, so to have prev and next buttons, I simply had a bit of the previous and next slides showing before and after (respectively) the current slide. I would post the CodePen, but I don't want this comment flagged.
Yeah, I'm thinking of doing something like that as a "next" step on this one actually... it's a fun exploration of CSS combinators and other things which, while it can be a little annoying, they're a fun way to learn. I always get lost within the selectors when making them though, lol. I was thinking of using links with :focus-within to move things around, but your approach might be better.
Open props seems like a game changer when it comes to quick prototyping. Would love to see a video on it!
yes me too! :)
Yep
+1
Same
me too!! pls do it for us Kevin
I've been looking for a way to fix the column issue in the grid carousel for ages now! You solved it perfectly. Very nice explanation. Loved your JS tutorial for carousel, it's so nice to understand what each code means!
oh heck yeah, we need a in-depth video on open props! seems really interesting
This is giving me tears of joy at the moment. Thanks, Kevin🤩
Oh my god, was looking for it yesterday, you are the man Kevin, thank you so so much!
I will definitely try this out when I can. Love you Kevin!
I struggled with scroll snap until I gave up on it. Thank you for demystifying! 🙌🙌
All hail the CSS King! Thank you for this awesome tutorial good sir!
I always learn something new when I watch your videos. Thank you and keep it up! :)
A great addition to any developer. Snap scroll is becoming the in thing requested by more and more clients.
Thanks for the great video again! You never disappoint. Would love the open prop video as well~
As always, great video Kevin!
Can't give this video enough thumbs up. 😀There is so much useful information regarding horizontal scrolling, grid layout and scroll snapping.
Yes Please to Open Props!!! Also thank you for this video. I made one by accident a year or so ago with flexbox, but of course the whole page moved. Now I know what to do. Thank you Kevin
Thank you Kevin!! This video really helped me with a challenge I have in my project!
Kevin thanks so much for your awesome job and teaching style. I have learned sooo0 much from you, hands down the best teacher of youtube.. greetings from Portugal! 😘
what a perfect guy you are you are using some css I didn't ever hear the name that these properties exist the work you put and its in your brain is like amazing
Perfectly what i needed made me fall in love with CSS even more
I really like your videos Kevin, am starting to fall in love with css!
I could not stop myself to subscribe your channel.
Thx for this content 🙏
Bro, you saved my life! i was about to end it cause i couldn't, for the love of God, get the videos to fit properly in the container and it was acting very weird whenever i change display and position to get them in line. Thanks again yo! you the man Kevin!
An explainer video on open props would be highly appreciated 👍. As always great tutorial
Wonderful tutorial. I would love to see a part 2, where you get rid of the horizontal scrollbar (visually) on mobile and then add the desktop version with arrows. Netflix all the way.
Yeah, thinking about doing a v2 with that, seems like a popular request 👍
@@KevinPowell - as an iteration of that, I would love the horizontal scroll to automatically start scrolling when your mouse hovers over it and you use the scroll wheel. ie: no need to press shift and scroll and no need to grab the scroll bar. Without adding JS, the only solution I have found is to rotate the parent 90deg and then the child -90deg. BUT, I have not spent enough time figuring out the CSS to get it to look right. The function is there, it just looks....well....broken. Your insight would be amazing here!
@@snehithreddy2684 not yet, no. Another 3-4 weeks probably
@@KevinPowell It's been 8 weeks~
@@DomCos78 I was going to write the same request here - how to create this when your mouse is hovering on scroll then with scrolling down it would scroll right instead.
YES please video on open props
It's like you read my mind; I've been thinking about this for a few days now! 👀
I'm sooooo going to use this! Thank you!
Awesome content again! :D
This was super helpful. Cheers.
Omg just the other day I hoped you'd make a video about this!!
This is perfect! Needed to know how to do this and I love how you explain every step in detail. What if I wanted my media to be videos and open in lightbox?
I LITERALLY NEED THIS SAME THING
DUDE EVEN I LITERALLY NEEDED THIS EXACT THING! I was wondering why there isn't a single good video on this and BOOM! KP STRIKES
the level of excitement that i felt when i saw this video's thumb really tells me that i got my career choice right :)
Yeah, an Open Props video would be great!
Kevin Powell is the goat of html and css......thank you sir for providing free content on youtube ......hope you will provide us more content on youtube
Yes! Please, an open prop would be greatly appreciated
Thanks Kevin!!! You help me so much! thanks lot!
Brutal tutorial!
amazing thanks a lot kevin!!
thank u sir i just really wanted
this video ❤❤❤
Awesome tutorial.... you always rock....
Thank you for this! I esp loved the open props. I def want to see that video. Ok, let's face it. I love all of your videos but as far as learning is concerned, that would be the next logical bit of information for me to learn.
Kevin is one of those Chad's who strive to improve the lives of many.
There's a little problem for your snaping scroll part for the "alone"' element, with the scroll-snap-align: start, when you're on the last item, you won't be able to snap to it, because it will snap to the "start" of the first element on the right.
you need to add :last-child scroll-snap-align: end so you can snap on the last children ;)
Doesn't bother the group part normally^^
Oh, that's a good point 👍
Kevin thanks , the nice lesson 🎓
Thank you, Kevin.
wow, so many new properties I have to Google now! jesus, inline-size!? wtf! thank you so much!
Great tutorial!
thank you for the tutorial!
I would definitely like to see a video from you on open props
Let's gooooo open-props!!!!
Your videos helped me understand CSS better than my teacher tauth me, thanks a lot
Thanks, I really learnt a lot and I appriciate you channel and videos very much!
P.S: 3:32 I love how you said "auto", and I don't know why.
haha, the fun of slowing down a little as you type words out, lol
I needed this like 2 days ago. It's like You hear me XD thanksn
Thank you sir I always problem faced with horizontal scrolling .
Nice, never new about, this is possible without js!
Many thanks here
Great Video Kevin, one thing that was missing was scrolling feature where you scroll vertically but that section moves horizontally
Yes that would be great, but I guess for this there would hav to be some JavaScript involved
I wouldn't do that because it can be *really* annoying for users. I know it's "easier" in a sense, specially since most users don't know you can horizontally scroll with shift + mouse wheel, but scroll-jacking in general is a dark pattern. I'd rather use JS to add a next and previous button.
@@KevinPowell Wold it be possible to give us an idea on how to achieve this next and previous buttons with JS? Thanks for your super great content, I really enjoy your videos a lot 👏👏👏
that was soo good it solved my problem within first 8 minutes thankyou soo much (note : But i watched the whole video :) )
but how did you hide that scrollbard beneath
video is great, if anyone is following this video without open props, remember to add on img { max-inline-size: 100%; }
East to the west, Kevin remains always the supa best😍
GOOD JOB DUDE
The next part of this could be demonstrating increasing the size of a hovered element and not falling foul of overflow-y issues on the 'tracks' above/below.
Netflix (desktop) use a modal approach, but don't have drag scroll.
Amazon use nested overflows with weird magic number margins.
Hey Kevin 👋🏻 really liked the video. And open props is useful lib, i'd like see video about it. Specially animations with open props 👀
Do you recommend open props for production code? Seems like a great tool to be using in industry not just for prototyping
For the 25% bit, I would make a container on which controls (buttons with arrows for example) are also child of and make that container have margin, with the controls positioned absolutely in that margin. On top of that, the next item would show underneath the controls, so 25 % would be a fine size imo.
I'm studying JS and I just need to make such a scroll. I can imagine the algorithm, but I haven't done it yet. I'll watch the video now :) Greetings from Moscow :)
very appreciated!
Amazing video, please can you maybe do a part 2 and show how best to produce an infinite horizontal media scroller using just css.
Amazing!
Greate tutorial. Thanx
Hey Kevin - I loved your tutorial. I'm curious if there is an easy way to implement forward and backward buttons. The reason for this is I like the look of a thinner horizontal scrollbar on mobile in addition to the swipe gesture. However, you're forced to use the scrollbars on desktop views and if I make them thinner, they are more difficult to grab. It would be nice to overlay larger forward and backward buttons on top of the div for some additional accessibility. I've looked into scrollToLeft, scrollToRight with simple onclick buttons - but was curious if you could point a resource that would work in conjunction with horizontal scrolling.
thanks, Open props
Open props is kinda like tailwind but it's used in css instead of html. Pretty neat!
Have I been putting to much effort in creating my Netflix style scroller 🤔🤯
this is awesome! I just need to make it responsive with different image sizes for mobile and desktop
Would be interesting to see how you would add arrows to this, although that probably isn’t css related.
It's really cool. That been said, if you make say left and right button which scrolls the slider to left and right then there won't be any smooth scrolling effects in Safari. Safari does not support smooth scrolling so it will directly jump to next and previous on button press.
That's the reason why in most cases we unfortunately cannot use this in production because these scrollers are usually tired with next/prev buttons and Safari messes that up.
Safari is the new IE.
scroll-snap and smooth-scrolling behavior are very different, scroll-snap is supported in Safari :)
Thanks a lot!!!
Great video 🤩!
Question: Would you be able to increase the size of the center most element without using any javascript?
Thanks man! This video is awesome.
Any way to style this scroll bar?
Great tutorial! Is it possible that you add an onClick behavior on a media-element and the element also animates to the snap location?
hey great vid but if you could preview the end result of the website or design at the starting of your video would be great, it gives us more reference in what we making, Thanks again Kev.
open props video squad
Awesome turorial +++++++++++++++++ Thank you
you saved me kevin
Open-props seems interresting. I'd appreciate a more deep presentation, plz :)
Awesome Tutorial. 😊👍
I have one question to this:
How I can make it behave that after I scroll to the end on the container, the entire page scrolls normal down again?
This is good. What happens when you want to populate videos in the slider? I see photos, but
