utility to force a snap container to always stop on an element before the user can continue scrolling to the next item:
Scroll in the grid of images to see the expected behavior
snap point
<div class="snap-x snap-mandatory ..."> <div class="snap-center snap-always ..."> <img src="/img/vacation-01.jpg" /> </div> <div class="snap-center snap-always ..."> <img src="/img/vacation-02.jpg" /> </div> <div class="snap-center snap-always ..."> <img src="/img/vacation-03.jpg" /> </div> <div class="snap-center snap-always ..."> <img src="/img/vacation-04.jpg" /> </div> <div class="snap-center snap-always ..."> <img src="/img/vacation-05.jpg" /> </div> <div class="snap-center snap-always ..."> <img src="/img/vacation-06.jpg" /> </div></div>
Skipping snap position stops
Use the snap-normal utility to allow a snap container to skip past possible scroll snap positions:
Scroll in the grid of images to see the expected behavior
snap point
<div class="snap-x ..."> <div class="snap-center snap-normal ..."> <img src="/img/vacation-01.jpg" /> </div> <div class="snap-center snap-normal ..."> <img src="/img/vacation-02.jpg" /> </div> <div class="snap-center snap-normal ..."> <img src="/img/vacation-03.jpg" /> </div> <div class="snap-center snap-normal ..."> <img src="/img/vacation-04.jpg" /> </div> <div class="snap-center snap-normal ..."> <img src="/img/vacation-05.jpg" /> </div> <div class="snap-center snap-normal ..."> <img src="/img/vacation-06.jpg" /> </div></div>
Responsive design
Prefix a scroll-snap-stop utility with a breakpoint variant like md: to only apply the utility at medium screen sizes and above:
<div class="snap-always md:snap-normal ..."> <!-- ... --></div>
