scrollbar-width.js 3.1.1

scrollbar-width.js is a library for calculating the scrollbar size of a browser window. It is compatible with AMD, CommonJS and the standard browser environment.

Installation/Usage

AMD

Usage with AMD is straightforward:

require([
  'js/scrollbar-width'
], function(calcScrollbarWidth) {
  var scrollbarWidth = calcScrollbarWidth();
  // ...
});

Node.js

Install with npm:

npm install scrollbar-width

Then require it and call the function:

var scrollbarWidth = require("scrollbar-width")();

Bower

To install with Bower run:

bower install scrollbar-width.js

Browser

Include it in your HTML:

<script src="js/scrollbar-width.js"></script>

Then just call the function:

var scrollbarWidth = window.getScrollbarWidth();

Notes

Cached value

The function will cache the value it has calculated. You can force to calculate again by calling it with it's first parameter set to true:

var newScrollbarWidth = calcScrollbarWidth(true);

scrollbarWidth() returns null

Until the document is loaded (document.readyState !== 'loading'), scrollbarWidth() will return null. So be sure to call it when the document has loaded.

• Chrome
