I’m trying to make a product slider for smaller devices.
I want to allow the user to scroll horizontally(x) to the overflown components
What other alternative ways can I use for it?

I tried to do with flexbox.
This is my code:

Html:

// There is home container in its parent. It has no styling
       <div className="featured">
            <div className="vector-1">
            <svg width="243" height="540" viewBox="0 0 243 540" fill="none" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg">
<rect x="-412.996" y="310.003" width="599.998" height="253.281" rx="29.5" transform="rotate(-30 -412.996 310.003)" stroke="#5A44BF" stroke-width="41"/>
</svg>
            </div>
            <div className="vector-2">
                
            <svg width="464" height="540" viewBox="0 0 464 540" fill="none" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg">
<rect x="10.0035" y="310.004" width="599.998" height="253.281" rx="29.5" transform="rotate(-30 10.0035 310.004)" stroke="#5A44BF" stroke-width="41"/>
</svg>
</div>

        <div className="content">
        <div className="text mx-auto">
            <h1>Flat 30% off</h1>
            <h2>Don't Miss Our
            Featured Fashion Collection.</h2>
            </div>
            <div className="products">
            {products.map((product, index) => <div key={product._id} className="p-0 mx-4"> <Product info={product} /></div>)}
            </div>
        </div>
        </div>

The above code is in jsx. There is not much difference

Css:



.Home .featured {
    position: relative;
    /* min-width: 100vw;
    width: 100vw; */
    min-height: 700px;
    height: 100vh;
    background-color: #604AC8;
    overflow: hidden;
}


.Home .featured .vector-1 {
    position: absolute;
    bottom: 0;
    transform: translate(0, 50%);
    left: 0;
}

.Home .featured .vector-1 svg {
    width: 50%;
    height: 50%;
}


.Home .featured .vector-2 {
    position: absolute;
    top: 0;
    right: 0;
    transform: translate(50%, -50%);
}
.Home .featured .vector-2 svg {
    width: 50%;
    height: 50%;

    flex-direction: column;
    width: 100%;
    justify-content: center;
    align-items: center;
}   

.Home .featured .content .products {
     justify-content: stretch ; 
    overflow: auto;
    /* transform: translateX(30%); */
}



}


@media screen and (max-width: 400px) {
    .Home .featured .content .text h1 {
        font-size: 8px;
    }

    .Home .featured .content .text h2 {
        font-size: 18px;
    }

    .Home .featured .content .text {
        width: 50%;
    }
    
    .Home .suggestions .content .options .offers .circle button {
        font-size: 11px;
        width: 60px;
        margin-bottom: 10px;
        margin-left: 10px;
        }
}
}

Product component:

    <div className="Product">
      <div>
      <div className="product_img">
        <img src={STATIC_PATH + info.img} alt={info.name} />
      </div>
      <div className="product_content">
        <h1> {info.name} </h1>
        <h2> ₹{info.price.current} <s> ₹{info.price.original} </s> </h2>
        <Link to={`/product/${info._id}`} className="btn">View Product <span>➔</span> </Link>
      </div>
      
      </div>
    </div>


.Product {
  overflow: hidden;
  width: 100%;
  height: 100%;
  display: flex;
  justify-content: center;
  align-items: center;
  flex-direction: column;
  font-size: inherit;
  background-color: #FFC300;
  outline: 5px solid rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.1);
  border-radius: 20px;

}

.Product .product_img img{
  max-width: 300px;
  max-height: 300px;
  border-radius: 20px;
}

.Product .product_content {
  padding: 1em 0.75em;

}

.Product .product_content h2 s {
  margin-left: 10px;

}

  content: "";
  position: absolute;

  height: 2em;
}

@media screen and (max-width: 525px){

  .Product .product_content h2 {

  .Product .product_content h2 {
    font-size: 0.9em;
  }

  .Product .product_content .btn {
    font-size: 0.5em;
    letter-spacing: 0;
  }
}

This is the output:

I want it such that the user can scroll through these

I tried setting overflow-x to auto, which didn’t work. What are the other ways I can use?

If you’d like to suggest other ways on how to achieve this, by using a alternative way, feel free to!

To enable horizontal scroll you can use some alternative ways along with your existing flexbox.

i see that you tried overflox-x property, try adding these lines on your .Home .featured .content .products.:

.Home .featured .content .products {
    display: flex;
    justify-content: stretch; 
    overflow-x: scroll;  // x scrolling
    white-space: nowrap; // inlining level on single line
}

Use JS for customize scroll function using jQuery,

let scrollAmount = 0;
const products = $('.Home .featured .content .products');

products.on('wheel', function(e) {
    if (e.originalEvent.deltaY < 0 || e.originalEvent.deltaX < 0) {
        scrollAmount -= 10;
    } else {
        scrollAmount += 10;
    }
    products.scrollLeft(scrollAmount);
});

Scroll snapping, to make sure your products appear on your viewport during the scroll.

.Home .featured .content .products {
    /* ...other styles... */
    scroll-snap-type: x mandatory;
}
.Home .featured .content .products > div { //i assume that your products are wrapped on div
    scroll-snap-align: start;
}

Using Swiper.js library. Why? because its highly customizable and can be easily installed via npm or CDN link.

<!-- After you add Swiper's CSS and JS -->
<div class="swiper-container">
  <div class="swiper-wrapper">
    <!-- Place your product components here -->
  </div>
  <!-- Pagination -->
  <div class="swiper-pagination"></div>
</div>

var mySwiper = new Swiper('.swiper-container', {
  // Optional parameters
  direction: 'horizontal',
  loop: true,
  // other option here
});

Here is an example of what you want. I don’t see where you styled the element with the class called "products".

<div class="products">...</div>

This element is very important because you need it to create the horizontal scroll. I hope the code below helps you.

.products {
    display: flex;
    overflow-x: scroll;
    width: 100%;
    padding: 10px;
    height: 400px;
}

.product {
    min-width: 300px;
    border: 1px solid #ddd;
    padding: 10px;
    margin-right: 10px;
}

<div class="products">
    <div class="product">1</div>
    <div class="product">2</div>
    <div class="product">3</div>
    <div class="product">4</div>
    <div class="product">5</div>
    <div class="product">6</div>
    <div class="product">7</div>
  </div>

  <div class="products">
    <div class="product">1</div>
    <div class="product">2</div>
    <div class="product">3</div>
    <div class="product">4</div>
    <div class="product">5</div>
    <div class="product">6</div>
    <div class="product">7</div>
  </div>
