<div>Slide 2</div>
<div>Slide 3</div>
<div>Slide 4</div>
<div>Slide 5</div>
</Swiper>
)

Using params
import React from 'react';
import Swiper from 'react-id-swiper';
const SimpleSwiperWithParams = () => {
const params = {
pagination: {
el: '.swiper-pagination',
type: 'bullets',
clickable: true
},
navigation: {
nextEl: '.swiper-button-next',
prevEl: '.swiper-button-prev'
},
spaceBetween: 30

<div>Slide 1</div>
<div>Slide 2</div>
<div>Slide 3</div>
<div>Slide 4</div>
<div>Slide 5</div>
</Swiper>
)
}
export default SimpleSwiperWithParams;
Manipulating swiper from outside swiper component
import React, { useState } from 'react';
import Swiper from 'react-id-swiper';
const ManipulatingSwiper = () => {
const [swiper, updateSwiper] = useState(null);
const goNext = () => {
if (swiper !== null) {
swiper.slideNext();
}
};
const goPrev = () => {
if (swiper !== null) {
swiper.slidePrev();
}
};
return (
<div>
<Swiper getSwiper={updateSwiper}>
<div>Slide 1</div>
<div>Slide 2</div>
<div>Slide 3</div>
<div>Slide 4</div>
<div>Slide 5</div>
</Swiper>
<button onClick={goPrev}>Prev</button>
<button onClick={goNext}>Next</button>
</div>
);
};
export default ManipulatingSwiper;
Custom build Swiper
You can find the WORKING DEMO REPO HERE
import React from 'react';
import { Swiper, Navigation, Pagination } from 'swiper/dist/js/swiper.esm.js';
import ReactIdSwiperCustom from 'react-id-swiper/lib/ReactIdSwiper.custom';
const CustomBuildSwiper = () => {
const params = {
Swiper,
modules: [Navigation, Pagination],
pagination: {
el: '.swiper-pagination',
type: 'bullets',
clickable: true
},
navigation: {
nextEl: '.swiper-button-next',
prevEl: '.swiper-button-prev'
},
spaceBetween: 30
}
return(
<ReactIdSwiperCustom {...params}>
<div>Slide 1</div>
<div>Slide 2</div>
<div>Slide 3</div>
<div>Slide 4</div>
<div>Slide 5</div>
</ReactIdSwiperCustom>
)
}
export default CustomBuildSwiper;
NOTE:
- If you use Webpack & Babel you need to setup Babel loader config in
webpack.config.js
like below:
module: {
rules: [
{
exclude: [/node_modules\/(?!(swiper|dom7)\/).*/, /\.test\.js(x)?$/],
test: /\.js(x)?$/,
use: [{ loader: 'babel-loader' }],
}
],
}
Adding customized css classes
const params = {
pagination: {
el: '.swiper-pagination.customized-swiper-pagination',
},
navigation: {
nextEl: '.swiper-button-next.customized-swiper-button-next',
prevEl: '.swiper-button-prev.customized-swiper-button-prev'
},
containerClass: 'customized-swiper-container'
}
Adding customized components
For customized rendering to work, you have to use same classname with params el.
const params = {
navigation: {
nextEl: '.swiper-button-next',
prevEl: '.swiper-button-prev'
},
renderPrevButton: () => <button className="swiper-button-prev">Prev</button>,
renderNextButton: () => <button className="swiper-button-next">Next</button>,
}
Workable slides
Each slide should be wrapped by HTML element
BAD CODE
<Swiper {...params}>
Slide content
</Swiper>
GOOD CODE
<Swiper {...params}>
<span>Slide content</span>
</Swiper>
