Step 1: Making Scrollbars Disappear

To begin, open your globals.css file and incorporate the following code snippet:

@tailwind base;
@tailwind components;
@tailwind utilities;


@layer utilities {
? @variants responsive {
? ? /* Hide scrollbar for Chrome, Safari, and Opera */
? ? .no-scrollbar::-webkit-scrollbar {
? ? ? display: none;
? ? }


? ? /* Hide scrollbar for IE, Edge, and Firefox */
? ? .no-scrollbar {
? ? ? -ms-overflow-style: none; /* IE and Edge */
? ? ? scrollbar-width: none; /* Firefox */
? ? }
? }
}
        

In this step, we have utilized the ::-webkit-scrollbar pseudo-element to target the scrollbar styles in Chrome, Safari, Edge, and Opera. Additionally, we have introduced the .no-scrollbar class, which will serve as our go-to for hiding the scrollbar.

Step 2: Implementation

Now, let's put our newfound knowledge into action and hide the scrollbar in the previous example image. To achieve this, simply add the no-scrollbar attribute to the className of your desired element:

<div className="w-[70%] h-[85%] rounded-lg overflow-y-scroll no-scrollbar"
  <ProductForm />
</div>        

Result: A Seamless UI Experience

Voila! Witness the magic unfold as the scrollbar gracefully vanishes from your element. With this simple addition, your app will now provide a more streamlined and immersive user experience.

Conclusion

By incorporating Tailwind CSS and the knowledge shared in this tutorial, you can elevate your UI design to new heights. The ability to hide scrollbars not only enhances the aesthetic appeal of your app but also ensures a smooth and uninterrupted browsing experience for your users.
