# Scroll area: Horizontal

> Set `scrollbars="horizontal"` and give the content `w-max` so it can grow past the box.

Example: https://hextaui.com/docs/scroll-area/examples/horizontal
Component docs: https://hextaui.com/docs/scroll-area.md

## Add this example

```bash
npx shadcn@latest add https://hextaui.com/r/scroll-area-horizontal.json
```

This adds `components/examples/scroll-area/horizontal.tsx` with the Scroll area component and the HextaUI theme tokens.
