# ScrollView

A SwiftUI ScrollView component for scrollable content.
iOS, tvOS

> For the complete documentation index, see [llms.txt](/llms.txt). Use this file to discover all available pages.

Expo UI ScrollView matches the official SwiftUI [ScrollView API](https://developer.apple.com/documentation/swiftui/scrollview) and provides a scrollable container for its children.

## Installation

```sh
npx expo install @expo/ui
```

If you are installing this in an [existing React Native app](/bare/overview), make sure to [install `expo`](/bare/installing-expo-modules) in your project.

## Usage

### Basic vertical scroll view

A simple vertically scrollable list of text items.

```tsx
import { Host, ScrollView, VStack, Text } from '@expo/ui/swift-ui';
import { padding } from '@expo/ui/swift-ui/modifiers';

export default function ScrollViewVerticalExample() {
  return (
    <Host style={{ flex: 1 }}>
      <ScrollView>
        <VStack spacing={8}>
          {Array.from({ length: 30 }, (_, i) => (
            <Text key={i} modifiers={[padding({ horizontal: 16 })]}>
              {`Item ${i + 1}`}
            </Text>
          ))}
        </VStack>
      </ScrollView>
    </Host>
  );
}
```

### Horizontal scroll view

Use the `axes` prop to scroll horizontally.

```tsx
import { Host, ScrollView, HStack, RoundedRectangle } from '@expo/ui/swift-ui';
import { frame, foregroundStyle } from '@expo/ui/swift-ui/modifiers';

export default function ScrollViewHorizontalExample() {
  return (
    <Host style={{ flex: 1 }}>
      <ScrollView axes="horizontal">
        <HStack spacing={8}>
          {Array.from({ length: 20 }, (_, i) => (
            <RoundedRectangle
              key={i}
              cornerRadius={12}
              modifiers={[
                frame({ width: 100, height: 100 }),
                foregroundStyle(`hsl(${i * 18}, 70%, 50%)`),
              ]}
            />
          ))}
        </HStack>
      </ScrollView>
    </Host>
  );
}
```

### Hidden scroll indicators

Set `showsIndicators` to `false` to hide the scroll bars.

```tsx
import { Host, ScrollView, VStack, Text } from '@expo/ui/swift-ui';

export default function ScrollViewHiddenIndicatorsExample() {
  return (
    <Host style={{ flex: 1 }}>
      <ScrollView showsIndicators={false}>
        <VStack spacing={8}>
          {Array.from({ length: 30 }, (_, i) => (
            <Text key={i}>{`Item ${i + 1}`}</Text>
          ))}
        </VStack>
      </ScrollView>
    </Host>
  );
}
```
