Scroll Area
Used to create a scrollable area with custom styled scrollbars
Constrain dimensions and verify horizontal, vertical and keyboard access. Treat virtualization, stick-to-bottom and scroll shadows as separate behaviors.
Included icon notices
The source viewer includes ICON_ATTRIBUTION.md and original notices for the icon collections used by these examples. Preserve them when redistributing examples; react-icons' wrapper license does not replace individual collection terms.

Installation and initialization
npm install @chakra-ui/react@3.37.0 @emotion/react@11.14.0
Initialize ChakraProvider with defaultSystem and Emotion before rendering. Preserve the host React version and inspect peer compatibility. Official npm installation supplies components, not these example source files. Use the resource setup guide for locale, next-themes and framework-specific SSR; copy the selected example source separately from npm installation.
Complete native usage example
This is the actual pinned example, not a generic API mock. Copy its source closure and retain the named export. Additional imports are listed per example below.
import { ScrollArea } from "@chakra-ui/react"
import LoremIpsum from "react-lorem-ipsum"
export const ScrollAreaBasic = () => (
<ScrollArea.Root height="8.5rem" maxW="lg">
<ScrollArea.Viewport>
<ScrollArea.Content spaceY="4" textStyle="sm">
<LoremIpsum p={3} />
</ScrollArea.Content>
</ScrollArea.Viewport>
<ScrollArea.Scrollbar>
<ScrollArea.Thumb />
</ScrollArea.Scrollbar>
<ScrollArea.Corner />
</ScrollArea.Root>
)
All examples and reproduction requirements
Names identify demos, not component variant props. Copy every sourceFiles entry for the selected example. The compositions alias denotes local files, not a package. Preserve relative imports or rewrite the alias to your project's actual path. React peers are inspected separately; editor examples retain the coherent pinned Tiptap extension family.

Native API and source references
The source viewer retains original declarations, imports and inheritance. Ark UI event contracts, Chakra style props and recipe types stay in their native packages; this guide does not flatten or invent their defaults. Code comments remain original source, not translated prose.

Scoped Vite 8 interoperability
Some examples here import react-lorem-ipsum@1.4.10. The verified Vite 8 consumer uses the included authored/native-package-interop.mjs helper in its plugins list: chakraNativePackageInterop(process.cwd()). Copy that helper into the consuming build config and adjust the import path. This unwraps the package's native CommonJS default; it does not replace the component. Apply only when this export mismatch is reproduced; other bundlers may not need it.
State and installation checks
Run strict types, the target production build and real interactions. Test labels/focus/keyboard, both themes, narrow layout, empty/loading/error states where supported and cleanup after unmount. Remote demo endpoints, uploads and downloads are constrained in the preview; configure your own services. Copying a command or reaching preview-ready does not prove installation or backend success.
