## API Reference

### ScrollArea

Root component. Styled wrapper for `ScrollArea.Root` from Base UI. Automatically includes both horizontal and vertical scrollbars.

| Prop         | Type      | Default |
| ------------ | --------- | ------- |
| `scrollFade` | `boolean` | `false` |

### ScrollBar

Scrollbar track with built-in thumb. Styled wrapper for `ScrollArea.Scrollbar` from Base UI.

| Prop          | Type                         | Default      |
| ------------- | ---------------------------- | ------------ |
| `orientation` | `"horizontal" \| "vertical"` | `"vertical"` |

## Examples

### Both Scrollbars

<ComponentPreview name="p-scroll-area-3" />

### Scroll Fade

Use `scrollFade` to mask the viewport edges so content subtly fades in and out as you scroll.

<ComponentPreview name="p-scroll-area-4" />
