API Documentation

ArrowSelection ⇐ ElementBase

Component which adds prominent left and right arrow buttons to a wrapped child such as a carousel.

You can see a live demo of this component applied to a carousel.

Clicking the left/right buttons selects the previous/next item.

Typical usage:

<basic-arrow-selection>
  <basic-carousel>
    ... images, etc. ...
  </basic-carousel>
</basic-arrow-selection>

By default, the arrow buttons are shown on devices with a mouse or mouse-like point device. They are not shown on a touch-capable device unless mouse movement is detected. To cause the buttons to always appear, apply the 'showArrows' CSS class.
