ScrollBooster is a tiny (~2KB gzipped) zero-dependency JavaScript library that adds drag-to-scroll behavior to any content viewport via mouse, touch, trackpad, or wheel input. It supports transform-based or native scrolling, elastic bounce effects, and configurable scroll direction and friction.

Use cases

• make a horizontal carousel draggable with the mouse
• add drag-to-scroll to a table or list that overflows its container
• enable touch and mouse dragging on a scrollable gallery
• emulate trackpad scrolling inside a fixed viewport
• add elastic bounce effect to scrollable content
• lock scroll direction during drag gestures

When to choose

• you need lightweight drag-to-scroll with zero dependencies
• you want smooth momentum scrolling with bounce effects in the browser
• you need fine-grained control over scroll direction, pointer mode, and friction

When to avoid

• you need a full-featured carousel or slider with pagination and autoplay
• your project requires IE11 support without a transpile step
• you need scroll behavior on non-DOM platforms like canvas or native mobile
