scroll-padding-bottom

Sets the snap padding at the bottom of the scroll container. It essentially creates a 'safe zone' at the bottom of the scroller so that snapped items don't hit the very edge.

It is documented as part of the CSS Scroll Snap specification.

.vertical-carousel {
  /* Keeps a 50px gap at the bottom of the scroller when items snap to the bottom */
  scroll-padding-bottom: 50px;
}

/* Syntax */

/* Global values */
scroll-padding-bottom: inherit;
scroll-padding-bottom: initial;
scroll-padding-bottom: revert;
