Panels

A sliding-panel, carousel-like component that transitions through a series of slides.

Introduction

This Navigator component can move through a series of slides using whatever CSS3 transitions you desire. Additionally, it'll dynamically adapt its width via CSS media queries.

A strict separation of state and style is maintained. That is to say, the Javascript maintains the state of the Navigator, while the CSS takes care of the presentation of this state. While this is a basic component that achieves a particular use-case (i.e. a single slide at a time), you may use whatever CSS you desire to control the transition itself.

Getting Started

Download the production version or the development version.

Include the relevant scripts in your web page, and then:

<script>

	// available options
	var options = {
		activeClass: 'active',
		beforeClass: 'before',
		afterClass: 'after',
		animateClass: 'animating',
		slides: '.step',
		speed: 400
	};

	// sample instantiation:
	var container = document.querySelector('.panels');
	var nav = new Nav(container, options);

</script>
