Overflow

Utilities for controlling how an element handles content that is too large for the container.

React props	CSS Properties
`overflow={keyword}`	`overflow: {keyword};`
`overflowX={keyword}`	`overflow-x: {keyword};`
`overflowY={keyword}`	`overflow-y: {keyword};`

Visible

Use overflow="visible" to prevent content within an element from being clipped. Note that any content that overflows the bounds of the element will then be visible.

<x.div overflow="visible" h={24}>
  Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet...
</x.div>

Auto

Use overflow="auto" to add scrollbars to an element in the event that its content overflows the bounds of that element. Unlike overflow="scroll", which always shows scrollbars, this utility will only show them if scrolling is necessary.

Nullam aliquet elit dui, vitae hendrerit lectus volutpat eget. In porttitor tincidunt egestas. Pellentesque laoreet ligula at est vulputate facilisis. Etiam tristique justo ut odio placerat ornare.

In id felis vulputate, tempor massa eget, malesuada mauris. Quisque fringilla consequat metus, luctus scelerisque leo fringilla vel.

<x.div overflow="auto" h={32}>
  Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet...
</x.div>

Hidden

Use overflow="hidden" to clip any content within an element that overflows the bounds of that element.

<x.div overflow="hidden" h={32}>
  Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet...
</x.div>

Scroll horizontally if needed

Use overflowX="auto" to allow horizontal scrolling if needed.

Scroll vertically if needed

Use overflowY="auto" to allow vertical scrolling if needed.

<x.div overflowY="auto" h={32}>
  Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet...
</x.div>

Scroll horizontally always

Use overflowX="scroll" to allow horizontal scrolling and always show scrollbars unless always-visible scrollbars are disabled by the operating system.

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit.

<x.div overflowX="scroll">
  Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit.
</x.div>

Scroll vertically always

Use overflowY="scroll" to allow vertical scrolling and always show scrollbars unless always-visible scrollbars are disabled by the operating system.

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet... vel.

<x.div overflowY="scroll" h={32}>
  Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet...
</x.div>

Scroll in all directions

Use overflow="scroll"to add scrollbars to an element. Unlike overflow="auto", which only shows scrollbars if they are necessary, this utility always shows them. Note that some operating systems (like macOS) hide unnecessary scrollbars regardless of this setting.

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit.

In id felis vulputate, tempor massa eget, malesuada mauris. Quisque fringilla consequat metus, luctus scelerisque leo fringilla vel.

<x.div overflow="scroll" h={32}>
  Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet...
</x.div>

Responsive

To apply an overflow utility only at a specific breakpoint, use responsive object notation. For example, adding the property overflow={{ md: "auto" }} to an element would apply the overflow="auto" utility at medium screen sizes and above.

<x.div overflow={{ md: 'auto' }} />
