Calculates the width of the window's vertical scrollbar.
- Use `Window.innerWidth` to get the interior width of the window.
- Use `Element.clientWidth` to get the inner width of the `Document` element.
- Subtract the two values to get the width of the vertical scrollbar.
```js
const getScrollbarWidth = () =>
window.innerWidth - document.documentElement.clientWidth;
```
```js
getScrollbarWidth(); // 15
```
