Svelte Carousel

Svelte Carousel / Slider

This is a ground-up rewrite of the original Svelte Carousel/Slider using Svelte v3, and Siema, the goal being a fully working carousel with a tiny size.

Usage

This library is pure javascript, so can be used with any framework you like.

Demo

The simplest possible demo

npm install
npm run dev # http://localhost:12001

To use within a Svelte application:

npm i -D @beyonk/svelte-carousel

Usage

<Carousel>
  <div class="slide-content">Slide 1</div>
  <div class="slide-content">Slide 2</div>
  <div class="slide-content">Slide 3</div>
  <div class="slide-content">Slide 4</div>
</Carousel>

<script>
	import Carousel from '@beyonk/svelte-carousel'
	import { ChevronLeftIcon, ChevronRightIcon } from 'svelte-feather-icons'
</script>

Options

Controls

You can set the controls to be anything you like, though the default height and width are set to 40px. Just use the slots available to insert your own content.

npm i -D svelte-feather-icons

<Carousel>
  <span class="control" slot="left-control">
    <ChevronLeftIcon />
  </span>
  <div class="slide-content">Slide 1</div>
  ...
  <div class="slide-content">Slide n</div>
  <span class="control" slot="right-control">
    <ChevronRightIcon />
  </span>
</Carousel>

<script>
	import Carousel from './Carousel.svelte'
	import { ChevronLeftIcon, ChevronRightIcon } from 'svelte-feather-icons'
</script>

If you need to override height and width, you can use CSS:

	.control :global(svg) {
		width: 100%;
		height: 100%;
		color: #fff;
		border: 2px solid #fff;
		border-radius: 32px;
	}

Attributes

You can pass the following attributes:

Attribute	Type	Default Value	Description
loop	boolean	true	At the end of the carousel, loop through to the first slide again, seamlessly
perPage	integer	3	Number of slides on a single page. Note that this needs to be greater than or equal to the number of slides in your carousel
autoplay	integer	0	Auto-change slide at an interval (in milliseconds). 0 means don't autoplay.
duration	number	200	Slide transition duration in milliseconds.
easing	string	'ease-out'	It is like a CSS transition-timing-function — describes acceleration curve.
startIndex	number	0	Index (zero-based) of the starting slide.
draggable	boolean	true	Use dragging and touch swiping.
multipleDrag	boolean	true	Allow dragging to move multiple slides.
dots	boolean	true	Toggles visibility of slider dots.
threshold	number	20	Touch and mouse dragging threshold (in px).
rtl	boolean	false	Enables layout for languages written from right to left (like Hebrew or Arabic).

perPage can also be set to a responsive object, to change the number of slides based on screen width:

<Carousel perPage={{ 800: 3, 500: 2 }}>
// will show 1 slide below 500px width, 2 at 500, 3 at 800.

Events

The Carousel components emits the following events:

Name	Data	Description
change	{ currentSlide, slideCount }	currentSlide: The current slide index. Can be a positive or negative integer. slideCount: The number of slides.

Actions

You can call left, right, go(slideNumber), pause and resume functions on the slider. For example, for pausing the autoslide while the mouse is hover the carousel

<Carousel bind:this={carousel} on:mouseenter={enter} on:mouseleave={leave}>
<div class="slide-content">Slide 1</div>
...
<div class="slide-content">Slide n</div>
</Carousel>

<script>
import Carousel from './Carousel.svelte'
let carousel;

function enter() {
  carousel.pause();
}

function leave() {
  carousel.resume();
}
</script>
