Cannot change horizontal scroll snap into vertical scroll snap

I've found this codepen, but It was Horizontal. When I was trying to make it vertical, it did not work.

Pen I found the code on:

// None!
/* Hide the scroll bars */

body {
  overflow-y: hidden;
}

.slides {
  /* We set the scroll snapping */
  scroll-snap-type: x mandatory;
  /* Necessary for mobile scrolling */
  -webkit-overflow-scrolling: touch;
  /* For layout purposes */
  display: flex;
  /* To allow horizontal scrolling */
  overflow-x: scroll;
}

section {
  /* For styling purposes */
  height: 100vh;
  min-width: 100vw;
  display: flex;
  align-items: center;
  justify-content: center;
  background-repeat: no-repeat;
  background-size: cover;
  /* Set where the snapping should happen */
  scroll-snap-align: start;
}

I tried changing all the x's to y's, all y's to x's, and different combinations, but I still can't find a solution.

Solution

  • Your parent element doesn't have a fixed height and expands to fit the children. On top of that, you also need to set overflow-y: scroll; for parent element:

    // None!
    /* Hide the scroll bars */

body {
  margin: 0;
  padding: 0;
  overflow-x: hidden;
}

.slides {
  /* We set the scroll snapping */
  scroll-snap-type: y mandatory;
  /* Necessary for mobile scrolling */
  -webkit-overflow-scrolling: touch;
  display: flex;
  flex-flow: column;
  /* hide horizontal overflow */
  overflow-x: hidden;
  /* allow vertical overflow */
  overflow-y: scroll;
  /* set the height for parent, overwise it will expand to fit children */
  height: 100vh;
}

section {
  /* For styling purposes */
  display: flex;
  min-height: 100vh;
  width: 100vw;
  align-items: center;
  justify-content: center;
  background-repeat: no-repeat;
  background-size: cover;
  /* Set where the snapping should happen */
  scroll-snap-align: start;
}
