TBG-React-Slider

Pure JS React image slider component with no CSS dependencies

Installation

Installing

The simplest way to use TBG-React-Slider is to grab it from NPM and include it in your build process.

npm install tbg-react-slider --save

Imports

TBG-React-Slider is packaged as an es6 module, so to import it use

import Slider from 'tbg-react-slider'

or to use it as a CommonJS module:

const TBGReactSlider = require('tbg-react-slider').default

Usage

Basic usage

To use TBG-React-Slider at its most basic form

Styling

TBG-React-Slider doesn't depend on any external styles for functionality. However, it can be styled for UI and follows BEM principles.

The default Block class is .slider and can be changed via passing a className string as a component prop.

Available styles based on the default Block .slider class:

.slider {}
.slider__wrapper {}
.slider__view {}
.slider__dots {}
.slider__dot {}
.slider__dot.is-active {}
.slider__arrow__wrapper {}
.slider__arrow__wrapper--right {}
.slider__arrow__wrapper--left {}
.slider__arrow {}
.slider__arrow--right {}
.slider__arrow--left {}

Exposed component functions

TBG-React-Slider has some exposed component functions which can be used to navigate slides - start(), stop(), next(), prev() & goto(index)

To access these, add a ref to the component <Slider ref="slider" ... and they can then be referenced via this.refs.slider.next()

React Documentation

Outdated - I've added touch capabilities to the slider component...

Example using react-hammerjs

import Slider, { Transitions } from 'tbg-react-slider';
import Hammer from 'react-hammerjs';

class HammerJSExample extends React.Component {
  handleSwipe(e) {
    const dir = e.direction;
    if (dir === 2) { this.refs.slider.nextSlide(); }
    if (dir === 4) { this.refs.slider.previousSlide(); }
  }

  ...

  render() {
    return (
      <Hammer onSwipe={ this.handleSwipe.bind(this) }>
        <Slider ref="slider" transition={ Transitions.Slide } >
          ...
        </Slider>
      </Hammer>
    );
  }
}

Transitions

Pre-Packed Transitions

TBG-React-Slider comes with a couple of pre-packed transitions which can be imported and passed as props to the slider component.

By default the Fade transition is used.

import Slider, { Transitions } from 'tbg-react-slider';

<Slider transition={ Transitions.Slide } >
  ...
</Slider>

Packed transitions include: Fade, Slide, SlideDown

Custom Transitions

To create a custom transition you can create method in Transitions

import Slider, { Transitions } from 'tbg-react-slider';

const Spin = Transitions.create({
  start(dir, view) {
    return {
      transform: `
        translate(${view.width * dir}px, ${view.height * dir}px)
        rotateZ(360deg)
      `,
    };
  },
  end() {
    return {
      transform: 'translateX(0) rotateZ(0)',
    };
  },
  transition(time) {
    return {
      transition: `transform ${time}s`,
    };
  },
});



<Slider transition={ Spin } >
  ...
</Slider>
