scroll-margin-inline-start | CSS CSS Properties

Sets the snap margin at the 'start' of an element in the text flow (usually the left side in English). This is great for horizontal carousels to keep the current item from hugging the left edge.

Quick example

.carousel-item {
  /* Keeps the item 40px away from the left edge when it snaps into view */
  scroll-margin-inline-start: 40px;
  scroll-snap-align: start;
}
