## What it is
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

## Facets

- maturity: maintenance
