Advanced configuration

Props

• items : Array, default [] - gallery items, preferable to use this property instead of children

• duration : Number, default 250 - Duration of slides transition (milliseconds)

• responsive : Object, default {} - Number of items in the slide. The key is the breakpoint (default is the result of: () => window.innerWidth) for the resize event

    {
        0: {
            items: 1,
        },
        1024: {
            items: 3
        }
    }

• stagePadding : Object, default {} - Padding left and right on the stage

    {
        paddingLeft: 0,     // in pixels
        paddingRight: 0
    }

• buttonsDisabled : Boolean, false - Disable buttons control

• dotsDisabled : Boolean, false - Disable dots navigation

• startIndex : Number, 0 - The starting index of the carousel

• slideToIndex : Number, 0 - Sets the carousel at the specified position

• swipeDisabled : Boolean, default false - Disable swipe handlers

• touchTrackingEnabled : Boolean, default true - Enable touch move animation

• mouseTrackingEnabled : Boolean, default false - Enable mouse drag animation

• mouseDragEnabled : Deprecated from version 1.16.0 (use "mouseTrackingEnabled" instead) Boolean, default false - Enable mouse drag animation

  To Avoid unexpected behavior you should handle drag event independently, something like in an example

• infinite : Boolean, default true - Disable infinite mode

• fadeOutAnimation : Boolean, default false - Enable fadeout animation. Fired when 1 item is in the slide

• controlsStrategy : String (default | responsive), default default - If responsive is specified, dots navigation will be hidden if the number of gallery items is equal to the number of items on the slide

• keysControlDisabled : Boolean, default false - Disable keys controls (left, right, space)

• playButtonEnabled : Boolean, default false - Disable play/pause button

• autoPlay : Boolean, default false - Set auto play mode

• autoHeight : Boolean, default false - Set auto height mode

• autoPlayInterval : Number, default 250 - Interval of auto play animation (milliseconds). If specified, a larger value will be taken from comparing this property and the duration one

• autoPlayDirection : String, default ltr - To run auto play in the left direction specify rtl value

• disableAutoPlayOnAction : Boolean, default false - If this property is identified as true auto play animation will be stopped after clicking user on any gallery button

• stopAutoPlayOnHover : Boolean, default true - If this property is identified as false auto play animation won't stopped on hover

• showSlideInfo : Boolean, default false - Show slide info

• swipeDelta : Number, default 10 - Minimum distance to the start of the swiping (px)

• preventEventOnTouchMove : Boolean, default false - Prevent the browser's touchmove event when carousel is swiping

• preservePosition : Boolean, default false - Preserve current slide position when resize event fired

• transitionTimingFunction : String, default ease-out - Sets how intermediate values are calculated for CSS properties being affected by a transition effect.

• onSlideChange : Function - Fired when the event object is changing / returns event object

• onSlideChanged : Function - Fired when the event object was changed / returns event object

• onInitialized : Function - Fired when the gallery was initialized / returns event object

• onResized : Function - Fired when the gallery was resized / returns event object

  Event object example

    {
        item: index,   // index of the current item`s position
        slide: index,   // index of the current slide`s position
        itemsInSlide: number,   // number of elements in the slide
        isPrevSlideDisabled, // indicator to control the visibility of navigation dots
        isNextSlideDisabled,
    }

• shouldHandleResizeEvent : Function - Fired during resize event to determine whether the event handler should be called / returns boolean

Methods

• slideTo(index: number) : Go to the specified slide

• slidePrev() : Go to the prev slide

• slideNext() : Go to the next slide

Examples

import React from 'react'
import AliceCarousel from 'react-alice-carousel'
import 'react-alice-carousel/lib/alice-carousel.css'

class Gallery extends React.Component {
  state = {
    galleryItems: [1, 2, 3].map((i) => <h2 key={i}>{i}</h2>),
  }

  responsive = {
    0: { items: 1 },
    1024: { items: 2 },
  }

  onSlideChange(e) {
    console.debug('Item`s position during a change: ', e.item)
    console.debug('Slide`s position during a change: ', e.slide)
  }

  onSlideChanged(e) {
    console.debug('Item`s position after changes: ', e.item)
    console.debug('Slide`s position after changes: ', e.slide)
  }

  render() {
    return (
      <AliceCarousel
        items={this.state.galleryItems}
        responsive={this.responsive}
        autoPlayInterval={2000}
        autoPlayDirection="rtl"
        autoPlay={true}
        fadeOutAnimation={true}
        mouseTrackingEnabled={true}
        playButtonEnabled={true}
        disableAutoPlayOnAction={true}
        onSlideChange={this.onSlideChange}
        onSlideChanged={this.onSlideChanged}
      />
    )
  }
}

Custom Prev / Next buttons, dots / thumbs navigation:

• Using - refs.

import React from 'react'
import AliceCarousel from 'react-alice-carousel'
import 'react-alice-carousel/lib/alice-carousel.css'

class Gallery extends React.Component {
  items = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]

  state = {
    galleryItems: this.items.map((i) => <h2 key={i}>{i}</h2>),
  }

  thumbItem = (item, i) => (
    <span key={item} onClick={() => this.Carousel.slideTo(i)}>
      *{' '}
    </span>
  )

  render() {
    return (
      <div>
        <AliceCarousel
          dotsDisabled={true}
          buttonsDisabled={true}
          items={this.state.galleryItems}
          ref={(el) => (this.Carousel = el)}
        />

        <nav>{this.items.map(this.thumbItem)}</nav>
        <button onClick={() => this.Carousel.slidePrev()}>Prev button</button>
        <button onClick={() => this.Carousel.slideNext()}>Next button</button>
      </div>
    )
  }
}

• Using props

import React from 'react'
import AliceCarousel from 'react-alice-carousel'
import 'react-alice-carousel/lib/alice-carousel.css'

class Gallery extends React.Component {
  items = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]

  state = {
    currentIndex: 0,
    responsive: { 1024: { items: 3 } },
    galleryItems: this.galleryItems(),
  }

  slideTo = (i) => this.setState({ currentIndex: i })

  onSlideChanged = (e) => this.setState({ currentIndex: e.item })

  slideNext = () => this.setState({ currentIndex: this.state.currentIndex + 1 })

  slidePrev = () => this.setState({ currentIndex: this.state.currentIndex - 1 })

  thumbItem = (item, i) => <span onClick={() => this.slideTo(i)}>* </span>

  galleryItems() {
    return this.items.map((i) => <h2 key={i}> {i}</h2>)
  }

  render() {
    const { galleryItems, responsive, currentIndex } = this.state
    return (
      <div>
        <AliceCarousel
          dotsDisabled={true}
          buttonsDisabled={true}
          items={galleryItems}
          responsive={responsive}
          slideToIndex={currentIndex}
          onSlideChanged={this.onSlideChanged}
        />

Example for slidePrev/slideNext page

import React from 'react'
import AliceCarousel from 'react-alice-carousel'
import 'react-alice-carousel/lib/alice-carousel.css'

  state = {
    currentIndex: 0,
    itemsInSlide: 1,
    responsive: { 0: { items: 3 } },
    galleryItems: this.galleryItems(),
  }

  galleryItems() {
    return Array(7)
      .fill()
      .map((item, i) => <h2 className="item">{i + 1}</h2>)
  }

  slidePrevPage = () => {
    const currentIndex = this.state.currentIndex - this.state.itemsInSlide
    this.setState({ currentIndex })
  }

  slideNextPage = () => {
    const {
      itemsInSlide,
      galleryItems: { length },
    } = this.state
    let currentIndex = this.state.currentIndex + itemsInSlide
    if (currentIndex > length) currentIndex = length

    this.setState({ currentIndex })
  }

  handleOnSlideChange = (event) => {
    const { itemsInSlide, item } = event
    this.setState({ itemsInSlide, currentIndex: item })
  }

  render() {
    const { currentIndex, galleryItems, responsive } = this.state

    return (
      <div>

          items={galleryItems}
          slideToIndex={currentIndex}
          responsive={responsive}
          onInitialized={this.handleOnSlideChange}
          onSlideChanged={this.handleOnSlideChange}
