Q32: How does CSS Scroll Snap create touch-friendly slider carousels?
CSS Scroll Snap forces scroll containers to lock cleanly onto designated snap points after scrolling stops. Applying scroll-snap-type: x mandatory on containers and scroll-snap-align: center on items builds touch sliders without JavaScript.
Pure CSS Carousel Slider
.carousel {
display: flex;
overflow-x: auto;
scroll-snap-type: x mandatory;
}
.carousel-item {
flex: 0 0 100%;
scroll-snap-align: center;
}💡 The container locks item scroll stops cleanly onto item center alignments.
