Click Here for Demo

Installation and Usage

Step 1: Install the plugin.

npm i rb-carousel

Step 2: Import the plugin into your module.

app.module.ts

(Note: Need not be app.module.ts, can be in any module that you intend to use the plugin)

import { BrowserModule } from '@angular/platform-browser';
import { NgModule } from '@angular/core';

import { AppRoutingModule } from './app-routing.module';
import { AppComponent } from './app.component';
import { RbCarouselModule } from 'rb-carousel';

@NgModule({
  declarations: [
    AppComponent
  ],
  imports: [
    BrowserModule,
    AppRoutingModule,
    RbCarouselModule
  ],
  providers: [],
  bootstrap: [AppComponent]
})
export class AppModule { }

Step 3: Call the rb-carousel in you template

app.component.html

(Note: Again need not be app.component.html, can be in any template that you intend to use the plugin)

 <rb-carousel [dataSource]="imageArray" [carouselSettings]="carouselSettings"></rb-carousel>
 

Note: The Carousel takes the height and width of the parent element. So if you have to adjust the height and width of carousel apply the same to the parent element as follows:

<div style="width:50%">
<rb-carousel [dataSource]="imageArray" [carouselSettings]="carouselSettings"></rb-carousel>
</div>

Step 4: Pass the dataSource and carouselSettings

Note: Make sure you pass the dataSource with an array of objects with imageUrl key, as this acts as source to the images. The CaptionText is optional though.

Note: Also make sure you pass the carouselSettings . The details regarding the settings are give further below.

import { Component } from '@angular/core';
@Component({
 selector: 'app-root',
 templateUrl: './app.component.html',
 styleUrls: ['./app.component.scss']
})
export class AppComponent {
 imageArray = [
   { CaptionText: 'someText', imageUrl: 'https://someImage.jpg' },
   { CaptionText: 'someText', imageUrl: 'https://someImage.jpg' },
   { CaptionText: 'someText', imageUrl: 'https://someImage.jpg' }
 ];

 carouselSettings = {
   autoTransition: true,
   transitionDuration: 2000,
   animation: 'fade',
   displayImageCount: true,
   loopCarousel: true
 }
}

Step 5: Kidding ! , there is no step 5 . Thats it you should be good to go.

Configuration

Lets look into carouselSettings

Setting	Value	Purpose
autoTransition	boolean	enable / disable the auto transition of carousel.
transitionDuration	integer	Time between transitions, will be only used if autoTransition is true
animation	string	Select the animation for the slide transition. By default fade
displayImageCount	boolean	enable/disable the image count on the top left of image.
loopCarousel	boolean	Loop the carousel after reaching the end of slides.

Animations

You can set the animation to your slide in the carouselSettings animation key. Here are the list of inbuilt animations :

1. fade
2. flipDiagonal
3. rotateIn
4. rotateFromTop
5. rotateInDown
6. bounceOut
7. rotateSmallScale
8. flipOver
9. random

Note: Setting random will randomly apply the animation to all the slides. Hee He! I know !! Cool right?

Don't like any of the inbuild animations. (you meanie ) You can always add your own animation. As below:

Style.scss

.rotatecenter {
  animation: rotatecenterFrame 0.5s cubic-bezier(0.455, 0.030, 0.515, 0.955) both;
}

@-webkit-keyframes rotatecenterFrame {
    0% {
      -webkit-transform: rotateX(0);
              transform: rotateX(0);
    }
    100% {
      -webkit-transform: rotateX(-360deg);
              transform: rotateX(-360deg);
    }
  }
  @keyframes rotatecenterFrame {
    0% {
      -webkit-transform: rotateX(0);
              transform: rotateX(0);
    }
    100% {
      -webkit-transform: rotateX(-360deg);
              transform: rotateX(-360deg);
    }
  }

And pass the animation to the carouselSettings

 carouselSettings = {
   autoTransition: true,
   transitionDuration: 2000,
   animation: 'rotatecenter',
   displayImageCount: true,
   loopCarousel: true
 }

Yep! Totally customizable .

Carousel Events

Here are a list of Events that the plugin is equipped with:

Event	Returns	Functionality
carouselEnd	boolean	When the carousel is at its last slide. Right time to fetch more data.
transitionStart	object	At the begining of slide transition. Returns the image object passed.
transitionEnd	object	At the end of slide transition. Returns the image object passed.
onNextSlide	object	When clicked on next button.
onPreviousSlide	object	When clicked on prev button.

Something like this:

 <rb-carousel 
 [dataSource]="imageArray"
 [carouselSettings]="carouselSettings" 
 (carouselEnd)="corouselEvent($event)" 
 (transitionStart)="transitionStart($event)"
 (transitionEnd)="transitionEnd($event)"
 (onNextSlide)="onNextSlide($event)" 
 (onPreviousSlide)="onPreviousSlide($event)">
 </rb-carousel>
