Ng2 Slides

• github
• npm

This is a small library to create sliding full-height panel effect for Angular2. It has full touch support, keyboard arrow support, and will fall back onto a 'normal' scroll website when the browser height dips below 600px.

This readme was written with Angular2 RC 5 + in mind.

Demo

Check out a small demo of the package here

1: Installation

You can install this just like you would any other npm package.

npm install --save-dev ng2-slides

2: Useage

First and foremost you need to provide the SlidesModule to your desired Module.

import { SlidesModule } from 'ng2-slides';

@NgModule({
	imports: [
		SlidesModule
	]
})

Now that you have imported the SlidesModule you now have access to the ng2-slide component in your template, as well as you can inject the SlideService into your components.

Make sure that you run the init method of the SlideService on your ngOnInit.

import { SlideService } from 'ng2-slides';

/**
 * Example Home Component
 */
import { Component, OnInit } from '@angular/core';
@Component({
	selector: 'home',
	template: `
		<ng2-slide>
			Some content you want in your first slide
		</ng2-slide>
		<ng2-slide>
			Some content you want in your second slide
		</ng2-slide>
		<ng2-slide>
			Some content you want in your third slide
		</ng2-slide>
	` // <-- use the ng2-slide component as many times as you'd like
})
export class Component implements OnInit {
	
	constructor(
		private slide: SlideService // <-- make sure you remember to inject the slide service.
	) {}

	ngOnInit() {
		this.slide.init();
	}

}

You may add as few or as many slides as you like, everything will be taken care of!

2.1: Navigate imparitavely

Suppose you want to naviate to slide 3 from slide 1. Well we can do that with the slide service. Let's use the component above to see how.

// ...Same as above
export class Component implements OnInit {
	
	constructor(
		private slide: SlideService
	) {}

	ngOnInit() {
		this.slide.init();
		this.slide.scrollToIndex(2); // <-- that's it!
	}

}

The example above will on startup move to the 3rd slide on the page. Pretty cool!

2.2 Listen for changes

There is a slideChanges observable exposed on the SlideService use this to listen for changes

// ...Same as above
export class Component implements OnInit {
	
	constructor(
		private slide: SlideService
	) {}

	ngOnInit() {
		this.slide.init();
		this.slide.scrollToIndex(2);
		this.slide.slideChanges.subscribe(
			slideEvent => console.log(slideEvent)
		);
		// The above subscription will log
		// SlideEventStart{fromIndex: 0, toIndex: 2}
		// SlideEventEnd{fromIndex: 0, toIndex: 2}
	}

}

The observable emits the type of SlideEventStart and SlideEventEnd both of which are SlideEvent classes and are found as an import in the package.

2.3 Custom config

You can change the sensitivity it takes to trigger a scroll by passing in a SlideServiceConfig object into the setConfiguration method of SlideService

// ...Same as above
export class Component implements OnInit {
	
	constructor(
		private slide: SlideService
	) {}

	ngOnInit() {
		this.slide.setConfiguration({
			sensitivity: 50 // by default this is 20
		});
		this.slide.init();
	}
}

SlideServiceConfig only has one option right now. You can find it's interface here
