What is @splidejs/splide?

@splidejs/splide is a lightweight, flexible, and powerful JavaScript slider and carousel library. It provides a wide range of features to create responsive, touch-friendly, and customizable sliders and carousels for web applications.

What are @splidejs/splide's main functionalities?

Basic Slider

This code initializes a basic slider using the Splide library. The '.splide' selector targets the HTML element that will contain the slider, and the 'mount()' method sets up the slider.

const splide = new Splide('.splide');
splide.mount();

Autoplay

This code initializes a slider with autoplay functionality. The 'type' option is set to 'loop' to create an infinite loop of slides, and 'autoplay' is set to true to enable automatic sliding.

const splide = new Splide('.splide', {
  type   : 'loop',
  autoplay: true,
});
splide.mount();

Custom Pagination

This code demonstrates how to create a custom pagination for the slider. The 'pagination' option is set to false to disable the default pagination, and a custom pagination element is created and mounted using the 'pagination:mounted' event.

const splide = new Splide('.splide', {
  pagination: false,
});
splide.mount();

const pagination = document.createElement('ul');
pagination.className = 'splide__pagination';

splide.on('pagination:mounted', function (data) {
  data.list = pagination;
});

Responsive Breakpoints

This code configures the slider to be responsive to different screen sizes. The 'breakpoints' option allows you to specify different settings for different screen widths. In this example, the slider will show 1 slide per page on screens smaller than 640px and 2 slides per page on screens smaller than 1024px.

const splide = new Splide('.splide', {
  breakpoints: {
    640: {
      perPage: 1,
    },
    1024: {
      perPage: 2,
    },
  },
});
splide.mount();
