Hey guys,

Just wanted to let you know that version 2.0 is coming.

It will introduce some rewrites and new features.

• Horizontal scrolling
• Rewrite of mouse tracking logic
• Minimum and maximum dragger height
• pane/track option for those who want to have a background behind dragger.
• Utility methods like e.g. scrollTo
• And more...

Roadmap:

thanks so much for doing this for the benefit of the community.
is there a time table for the roadmap? did I miss it?
thanks.

By this issue I just wanted to communicate with Vuebar users that I do am working on the new version and this library is maintained. But...

There's no fixed time table. Besides Vuebar I'm working on a lot of other stuff for a living and Vuebar is only a side-project that takes time from all that other stuff when I'm working on it. So it isn't my top priority and I can't spend too much time on it, even though I'd love to.

And also I don't want to rush it because I want this little piece of code as best as it can be.

Ideally I'd want to release it in the first quarter of 2018. But I can't do any guarantees and I can only say on record that version 2.0 will be ready when it will be ready.

What do you think the timeline is on horizontal scrolling?
Has anyone made any progress or is anyone working on this now?

[DominikSerafin]

Hey @Bowens20832 horizontal scroll is actually implemented already in development branch. I haven't yet "officialy" released it because I still need to fix some quirks around mobile browsers. You can check it out, there's lots of demos in ithe index page. (But be prepared that development branch is unstable - it might change significantly in future updates.)

HI @DominikSerafin 2 questions,

1. does this plugin automatically update the scrollbar position on layout change? or you need to trigger an update?

2. is there an option to keep the bar scrolled for example to the bottom? to make yo uunderstand the us case, would be for example a hat app that the scroll is to the bottom and should update and stay at the bottom on each messages sent via ajax.

Thanks!

Hi @neuropass

1. Yup - it does that when MutationObserver fires, window resizes or Vue component updates. I'm also planning to add ResizeObserver to the mix in future. If for some reason Vuebar doesn't update - it most probably means that component visual state was changed outside Vue - in this case just use $forceUpdate method in the component that contains Vuebar.

2. Vuebar doesn't interfere with native scrolling - it's Vuebar main feature. So you can manipulate scroll position like you would normally do without Vuebar using native methods. E.g. using https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Element/scrollTop. I do plan however to add some additional helper methods (like e.g. scroll to bottom) to make it a bit more handy. It will come in Vuebar 2.0/2.1.

How's it going with release? February would be a really nice time to see new version released 👍

[DominikSerafin]

Hi @s0By, I was a little more busy in my other work than I anticipated and didn't have time to finalize 2.0 release for Vuebar. But it's pretty close - you can check current status on the development branch.
