@maxcoding/simpleslider v1.3.1

Simpleslider

Note: If you enjoy the package, I would appreciate and be very grateful if you endorse me on LinkedIn 😇, because it would help me tremendously.

Take a look at the docs and examples on simpleCode

Take a look at the example on codepen.

This package is really simple to use and I let you display a slides-show or carousel on your website without having to worry at all.

All you need to do is to create a section or div tag with the class sliderContainer and inside it place as many div tags as you want your slides-show or carousel to have. This div needs to have the slide class to work.

Installation

npm i @maxcoding/simpleslider

Usage

Register the packeget

import simpleSlider from "@maxcoding/simpleslider";

or

import simpleslider from "./node_modules/@maxcoding/simpleslider/index.js";

Javascript

After registering the package inside your javascript file you just need to iniciate the simpleSlider like this:

simpleslider();

Don't forget

Your javascript file must be type="module".

Frameworks

For static data you can iniciate the package when the component is mouting. If you are going to use it with dynamic data read Dynamic data section at the end of file.

Template

<section class="sliderContainer">
    <div class="slide">
        <img src="cat1.jpg" alt="" />
    </div>
    <div class="slide">
        <img src="cat2.jpg" alt="" />
    </div>
    <div class="slide">
        <img src="cat3.jpg" alt="" />
    </div>
</section>

Params

SimpelSlider have some basic params so you can start using it right away but also it gives you the chance to customize them.

Example

<section
    class="sliderContainer"
    height="300px"
    width="300px"
    arrowSize="2"
    color="white"
>
    <div class="slide">
        <img src="cat1.jpg" alt="" />
    </div>
    <div class="slide">
        <img src="cat2.jpg" alt="" />
    </div>
    <div class="slide">
        <img src="cat3.jpg" alt="" />
    </div>
</section>

Dynamic data

To use Simple Slider with dynamic data, you need to initiate the package after you get the data. For example in plain javascript you need to do this:

1. Select the container
2. Fetch the data
3. After you get the data, you can map over it and create the slides
4. Initiate the package

Code

const sliderContainer = document.querySelector(".sliderContainer"); // Select the container
const fetchProjects = async () => {
    // your function
    try {
        const resp = await fetch(
            // Fetch the data
            "https://my-portfolio-blog-website.netlify.app/api/myProjects"
        );
        const data = await resp.json();
        const projectImg = data // Map over it and create the slides
            .map((project) => {
                return `
      <a class="slide" href="${project.pageUrl}" target="_blank"
        >visit
        <img src="${project.url}" alt="cateria" />
      </a>
        `;
            })
            .join("");
        sliderContainer.innerHTML = projectImg;
        simpleslider(); // Initiate the package
    } catch (error) {
        console.log(error);
    }
};

fetchProjects(); // Run your function
