A tiny (910 bytes minified) dependency-free JavaScript library that enables click-and-hold drag scrolling on any scrollable element. It works by adding a 'dragscroll' class to elements and is distributed as a UMD module via npm or Bower.

Use cases

• make a large scrollable area draggable with the mouse
• enable drag-to-scroll on a webpage body
• scroll a div by clicking and holding instead of using the scrollbar
• add grab-style panning to image or map viewers
• allow scrolling by dragging empty space while keeping text selectable

When to choose

• you need a tiny, dependency-free drag-scroll solution in vanilla JavaScript
• you want click-and-hold scrolling on any scrollable container or the whole page
• you need something that works anywhere without a framework

When to avoid

• you need touch/mobile drag scrolling or momentum/inertia effects
• you need text selection with the mouse in the draggable area
• you want a full-featured scroll or pan library with advanced options
