overflow-x scrolling with display: flex, last child item not showing parent div padding and margin

Question

Please take a look at the last item, parent div padding not working here. Any help?

Here is my code:

.horizontal-scrollable {
  padding: 15px;
  white-space: nowrap;
  overflow-x: scroll;
  overflow-y: hide;
  -webkit-overflow-scrolling: touch;
  scrollbar-width: none;
  display: flex;
  flex-wrap: nowrap;
}

.year-tag {
  background: #E6E7E8;
  padding: 12px;
  font-size: 12px;
  line-height: 14px;
  border: 0;
  font-weight: bold;
  border-radius: 3px;
  cursor: pointer;
  margin-right: 8px;
  margin-bottom: 8px;
}

<div style="width: 375px;font-family: sans-serif;background:red;">
  <div class="horizontal-scrollable year-list">
    <a class="year-tag">2020</a>
    <a class="year-tag">2019</a>
    <a class="year-tag">2018</a>
    <a class="year-tag">2017</a>
    <a class="year-tag">2016</a>
    <a class="year-tag">2015</a>
    <a class="year-tag">2014</a>
    <a class="year-tag">2013</a>
    <a class="year-tag">See More</a>
  </div>
</div>

Answer 1

You can use inline-flex.

.wrapper-div {
  width: 375px;
  font-family: sans-serif;
  background: red;
  overflow-x: scroll;
}

.horizontal-scrollable {
  padding: 15px;
  white-space: nowrap;
  overflow-y: hide;
  -webkit-overflow-scrolling: touch;
  scrollbar-width: none;
  display: inline-flex;
  flex-wrap: nowrap;
}

.year-tag {
  background: #E6E7E8;
  padding: 12px;
  font-size: 12px;
  line-height: 14px;
  border: 0;
  font-weight: bold;
  border-radius: 3px;
  cursor: pointer;
  margin-right: 8px;
  margin-bottom: 8px;
}

<div class="wrapper-div">
  <div class="horizontal-scrollable year-list">
    <a class="year-tag">2020</a>
    <a class="year-tag">2019</a>
    <a class="year-tag">2018</a>
    <a class="year-tag">2017</a>
    <a class="year-tag">2016</a>
    <a class="year-tag">2015</a>
    <a class="year-tag">2014</a>
    <a class="year-tag">2013</a>
    <a class="year-tag">See More</a>
  </div>
</div>

Answer 2

You can add a dummy div with opacity: 0 to solve this.

.horizontal-scrollable {
  padding: 15px;
  white-space: nowrap;
  overflow-x: scroll;
  overflow-y: hide;
  -webkit-overflow-scrolling: touch;
  scrollbar-width: none;
  display: flex;
  flex-wrap: nowrap;
}

.year-tag {
  background: #E6E7E8;
  padding: 12px;
  font-size: 12px;
  line-height: 14px;
  border: 0;
  font-weight: bold;
  border-radius: 3px;
  cursor: pointer;
  margin-right: 8px;
  margin-bottom: 8px;
}

<div style="width: 375px;font-family: sans-serif;background:red;">
  <div class="horizontal-scrollable year-list">
    <a class="year-tag">2020</a>
    <a class="year-tag">2019</a>
    <a class="year-tag">2018</a>
    <a class="year-tag">2017</a>
    <a class="year-tag">2016</a>
    <a class="year-tag">2015</a>
    <a class="year-tag">2014</a>
    <a class="year-tag">2013</a>
    <a class="year-tag">See More</a>
    <div class="year-tag" style="opacity: 0; padding: 4px;"></div>
  </div>
</div>

This is not the most elegant solution to fix the problem. You may also check the answer posted by @soothran.

You can fix this by adding a pseudo element to the end of the list.

.horizontal-scrollable:after {
  content:'';
  width: 8px;
  flex-shrink: 0;
}
