slide-deck

A Web Component for web presentations.

Demo

⚠️ This is a pre-release: Breaking changes will be allowed in minor versions until we achieve a stable v1.0 release

Examples

General usage example:

<script type="module" src="slide-deck.js"></script>

<slide-deck>
  <header><h1>This is a slide show</h1></header>
  <div><h2>Each child is a slide</h2></div>
  <div>
    <h2>We can add our own controls</h2>
    <p>Based on event handlers</p>
    <button slide-event>previous</button>
    <button slide-event>next</button>
    <p>Or specifically for changing views</p>
    <button set-view>grid</button>
    <button set-view>list</button>
  </div>
</slide-deck>

Define a simple fallback view:

<style>
  slide-deck:not(:defined) {
    display: grid;

    > * {
      border-block-end: thin solid;
    }
  }
</style>

Set initial state with attributes, or define your own view:

<script type="module" src="slide-deck.js"></script>

<slide-deck key-control slide-view="fancy">
  <header><h1>Listening for arrow keys</h1></header>
  <div><h2>And using a fancy view</h2></div>
</slide-deck>
<style>
  slide-deck[slide-view="fancy"] {
    outline: 1px solid red;
  }
</style>

Features

This Web Component allows you to:

• Create web-based slides
• Switch between different slide views
• Control presentations with a remote, or a keyboard
• Follow along in a second tab (speaker view)
• Toggle full-screen mode

Keyboard Shortcuts

Always available:

• command-k: Toggle control panel
• command-shift-enter: Start presentation (from first slide)
• command-enter: Resume presentation (from active slide)
• alt-enter: Join presentation in speaker view (from active slide)

Windows and Linux users can use Ctrl instead of Command.

When presenting (key-control is active):

• N/rightArrow/downArrow/pageDown: Next slide
• P/leftArrow/upArrow/pageUp: Previous slide
• home: First slide
• end: Last slide
• W/,: Toggle white screen
• B/.: Toggle black screen
• escape: Blur focused element or close control panel

These are based on the PowerPoint shortcuts.

Installation

You have a few options (choose one of these):

1. Install via npm: npm install @oddbird/slide-deck
2. Download the source manually from GitHub into your project.
3. Skip this step and use the script directly via a 3rd party CDN (not recommended for production use)
