Ideal Image Slider | ||
================== | ||
# Ideal Image Slider | ||
|
||
Currently in development... | ||
The aim behind the Ideal Image Slider is to create a slider which has just the right amount of features, | ||
with no bloat and be easy to extend so that more features can be added as "extensions". Here are the ideals | ||
and core features I wanted to include: | ||
|
||
* HTML5 (SEO optimised) | ||
* CSS3 transitions (a few simple transitions like slide/fade) | ||
* Left/Right navigation (including touch/swipe support) | ||
* Responsive | ||
* HiDPI (retina) support | ||
* ARIA support | ||
* Extremely simple to setup (no dependancies) | ||
* Very extensible | ||
* Uses progressive enhancement | ||
* Open source (goes without saying) | ||
|
||
And, as an example, here are some features that *should not* be in the core and could be optional extensions: | ||
|
||
* Themes or skins | ||
* More transitions | ||
* Bullet navigation | ||
* Thumbnail navigation | ||
* Full screen slider | ||
* Video/Audio support | ||
* etc... | ||
|
||
[Read the original blog post →](http://gilbert.pellegrom.me/the-ideal-image-slider) | ||
|
||
## Requirements | ||
|
||
* **None** | ||
|
||
Ideal Image Slider is written in vanilla JS and has no dependancies. | ||
|
||
## Getting Started | ||
|
||
To install the slider you can either manually download this repository or you can use [Bower](http://bower.io) | ||
and run the following command: | ||
|
||
``` | ||
bower install ideal-image-slider --save | ||
``` | ||
|
||
Next you need to include the CSS file in the `<head>` section of your HTML and you need to include the script | ||
before the `</body>` tag in your HTML. Note you can optionally include a theme CSS file in the `<head>` too. | ||
|
||
```html | ||
<html> | ||
<head> | ||
... | ||
<link rel="stylesheet" href="/path/to/ideal-image-slider.css"> | ||
<link rel="stylesheet" href="/path/to/themes/default/default.css"> | ||
... | ||
</head> | ||
<body> | ||
... | ||
<script src="/path/to/ideal-image-slider.js"></script> | ||
</body> | ||
</html> | ||
``` | ||
|
||
Next you need to set up your slider HTML where you want it to appear in your page. It should look something | ||
like this: | ||
|
||
```html | ||
<div id="slider"> | ||
<img src="img/1.jpg" src="" alt="Minimum required attributes"> | ||
<img data-src="img/2.jpg" src="" alt="Use data-src for on-demand loading"> | ||
<img data-src="img/3.jpg" data-src-2x="img/[email protected]" src="" alt="Use data-src-2x for HiDPI devices"> | ||
... | ||
</div> | ||
``` | ||
|
||
There a few things to note about the structure of the images in your slider: | ||
|
||
* This is an image slider, so only images are supported. Any other content will be removed. | ||
* You can use the `data-src` attribute to load your images "on-demand" (i.e. images are not loaded until they are required). | ||
* The first image should not use `data-src` so it is loaded if no JS is detected. | ||
* If you specify a `data-src-2x` image, it will be used on devices that support HiDPI (such as Apple's retina devices). | ||
|
||
Finally you can create your slider by using the following Javascript: | ||
|
||
```js | ||
new IdealImageSlider.Slider('#slider'); | ||
``` | ||
|
||
If you want to tweak the settings or use the slider API it would look more like: | ||
|
||
```js | ||
var slider = new IdealImageSlider.Slider({ | ||
selector: '#slider', | ||
height: 400, // Required but can be set by CSS | ||
interval: 4000, | ||
}); | ||
slider.start(); | ||
``` | ||
|
||
Note: If you don't pass a `height` to the Javascript constructor you **must** set it | ||
in your CSS. | ||
|
||
## Settings | ||
|
||
|Setting|Default Value|Description| | ||
|---|---|---| | ||
|selector|`''`|CSS selector for the slider| | ||
|height|`400`|Height (in px) of the slider| | ||
|interval|`4000`|Time (in ms) to wait before changing to the next slide| | ||
|transitionDuration|`700`|Duration (in ms) of animated transition| | ||
|effect|`'slide'`|Transition effect (slide/fade by default)| | ||
|disableNav|`false`|Disables the previous/next navigation| | ||
|previousNavSelector|`''`|Selector for custom previous nav element| | ||
|nextNavSelector|`''`|Selector for custom next nav element| | ||
|classes|`{...}`|List of classes to be used by slider. Probably shouldn't be changed| | ||
|
||
## Events | ||
|
||
Event callback functions can be passed in with the settings. For example: | ||
|
||
```js | ||
new IdealImageSlider.Slider({ | ||
selector: '#slider', | ||
onStart: function(){ | ||
console.log('onStart'); | ||
} | ||
}); | ||
``` | ||
|
||
|Event|Description| | ||
|---|---| | ||
|onInit|Callback that fires when slider and first image have loaded| | ||
|onStart|Callback that fires when slider has started playing| | ||
|onStop|Callback that fires when slider has stopped playing| | ||
|onDestroy|Callback that fires when slider is destroyed| | ||
|beforeChange|Callback that fires before a slide has changed| | ||
|afterChange|Callback that fires after a slide has changed| | ||
|
||
## API | ||
|
||
To use the API methods you must store the slider object. For example: | ||
|
||
```js | ||
var slider = new IdealImageSlider.Slider('#slider'); | ||
slider.start(); | ||
``` | ||
|
||
|Method|Description| | ||
|---|---| | ||
|start()|Start the slider. Note the slider will automatically be stopped when navigation is used| | ||
|stop()|Stop the slider| | ||
|previousSlide()|Change to the previous slide| | ||
|nextSlide()|Change to the next slide| | ||
|gotoSlide(index)|Change to a specific slide (1 indexed)| | ||
|destroy()|Destroy the slider| | ||
|get(attribute)|Get an attribute value (attributes are mostly used internally)| | ||
|set(attribute, value)|Set an attribute. Can be useful for storing custom data| | ||
|
