hexo-splide-carousel

A package for Hexo blogs using the NexT theme, provides image carousel and zoom functionality using Splide.js and medium-zoom libraries.

Features

• Integrates Splide.js to create responsive, customizable image carousels.
• Provides medium-zoom functionality for zooming images with a smooth and clean effect.
• Provides a variety of custom style options, support dark mode settings.
• More splide options can be added to the configuration file, but they are not guaranteed to work properly.

Usage

To create image carousels using Splide.js, wrap your images inside the {% splide %} or {% sc %} tags, e.g.:

{% splide %}
![alt1](xxx.png)
![alt2](xxx.png)
![alt3](xxx.png)
{% endsplide %}

or

{% sc %}
![alt1](xxx.png)
![alt2](xxx.png)
![alt3](xxx.png)
{% endsc %}

Configuration

Splide

In the options section of _config.yml, you can define global default settings for Splide. These settings will apply to all carousels. You can add more Splide options here, but not all options are guaranteed to work properly.

splide:
  options:
    heightRatio: 0.618        # Aspect ratio
    lazyLoad: false           # Lazy loading, options: false, 'nearby', 'sequential'
    type: 'slide'             # Type, options: 'loop', 'slide'
    autoplay: false           # Autoplay
    interval: 3000            # Autoplay interval in milliseconds
    pauseOnHover: true        # Pause autoplay when hovering
    # More Splide options can be added here

You can also add local settings directly inside the {% splide %} tag in the markdown file. Separate the options with spaces. Local settings will only apply to the specific carousel defined by the tag, and they will override the global default settings. For example, the following configuration enables looping and autoplay for the current carousel:

{% splide type:'loop' autoplay:true %}
![Caption 1](xxx.png)
![Caption 2](xxx.png)
![Caption 3](xxx.png)
{% endsplide %}

medium-zoom

• The medium_zoom.enabled option in the _config.yml file allows you to control whether to use the medium-zoom library.
• The zoom function is always available whether the image is wrapped in the {% splide %} tag or not.
• Please do not enable medium-zoom or fancybox function in your theme's config file at the same time when enable this.

Dependency

• Splide @4.1.4
• medium-zoom @1.1.0

Known Issues

• When medium-zoom is enabled, there is a chance that some images may not zoom correctly. For more details, see images in a row with hardcoded height, look bad when zoomed in #147.
• Currently, the carousel component’s dark and light themes are adjusted based on the browser’s theme settings. It does not support some themes' built-in light/dark toggle features, as each theme handles dark mode differently, making it impossible to accommodate every theme.
• The NexT and Butterfly themes have been tested and work as expected. Other themes are not guaranteed to function properly. Additionally, due to my limited front-end knowledge, the carousel component is fully compatible only with the NexT theme.
• Images smaller than the carousel container will be enlarged to fill the carousel container.
• Do not enable the theme's built-in medium-zoom feature, as it may cause image aspect ratios to be distorted within the carousel during zoom. If you need image zoom functionality, please use the medium-zoom adapted in this package or the fancybox provided by the theme.
• The lazyload feature provided by Splide conflicts with the theme's fancybox. When both are enabled, fancybox cannot retrieve the image path. If you need to use fancybox, please set Splide's lazyLoad to false.
• It is not compatible with the lazyload feature built into the Butterfly theme.
• When Splide's lazyload feature is enabled, the first image in the carousel will always be loaded, regardless of whether the NexT theme's lazyload is enabled.
• "To resolve conflicts, the placeFocusBack feature of Fancybox is disabled on pages containing carousel components, meaning that after closing the Fancybox zoom window, the page will not jump to the position of the image that was displayed before closing."
