NgxImageSwiper

A relatively simple component for displaying images in a container that can be navigated by mouse, touch and keyboard events with no dependencies, other than Angular of course.

Stackblitz Demo

Usage

Import NgImageSwiperModule into the required module:

In your component:

import { Component } from '@angular/core';
import { NgxSwiperConfig } from 'ngx-image-swiper';

@Component({

    <!-- put the component in a containing div -->
    <div class="image-swiper">
      <ngx-image-swiper [config]="swiperConfig" [images]="images"></ngx-image-swiper>
    </div>
  `,
  styles: [
    `
      // position must be relative
      // width & height can be whatever you want
      .image-swiper {
        position: relative;
        width: 600px;
        height: 600px;
      }

  ]
})
export class AppComponent {
  swiperConfig: NgxSwiperConfig = {
    navigationPlacement: 'inside',
    pagination: true,
