Install

Via download

Download the latest release:

github.com/stephband/slide-show/releases

Then import the CSS and JS files:

<link rel="stylesheet" href="./build/slide-show.css" />
<script type="module" src="./build/slide-show.js"></script>

Via npm

Install into node_modules/:

npm install @stephband/slide-show

The package comes with CSS files, one for the outer DOM and one for the shadow DOM. The outer DOM CSS can be imported from build/slide-show.css:

<link rel="stylesheet" href="./node_modules/@stephband/slide-show/build/slide-show.css" />

The shadow DOM CSS file must be placed in the same location as 'build/slide-show.js', which will work fine as-is until you build your own package to a different location. (I really don't know how you are supposed to handle this sort of thing via npm and I hope someone will advise.)

Quick start

You are now ready to write <slide-show> tags in your HTML:

<slide-show loop controls="pagination">
    <img src="../images/donkeys.jpg" draggable="false" />
    <img src="../images/tractor.jpg" draggable="false" />
    <img src="../images/mauverin.jpg" draggable="false" />
</slide-show>

Polyfill for element.scrollTo()

The script element.js includes a polyfill for element.scrollTo(), as Safari's native version lacks support for smooth scrolling behaviour. The polyfill is ignored in other browsers.

Build

To build the <slide-show> component from its dependent modules, you must have Deno installed. You then need to clone this git repository into the same directory as two other repositories that contain dependencies:

git clone [email protected]:stephband/fn
git clone [email protected]:stephband/dom
git clone [email protected]:stephband/slide-show
cd slide-show

Now the slide-show modules can be built. The build process uses esbuild to import and compile JS and CSS modules to the build/ folder:

make modules

Build documentation

To build documentation, also clone the literal repo:

git clone [email protected]:stephband/literal
cd slide-show

The documentation builder compiles .literal templates to .html, pulling out documentation comments from JS and CSS, and packages dependencies found in the docs/ folder:

make docs
