NGX Light Carousel

Hi! This is the NGX Light Carousel package - a light carousel crafted in angular with HammerJS for touch support

This is a fully responsive, highly configurable carousel / fader designed for ngx currently with support for 8, but it should work on previous versions of Angular

Please note this is a link to a fully working repo if you'd like to take it and do you're own thing with it.

Please log any issues you enounter to the gitlab board, I personally use this on a number of websites so it's under active development.

Contributions are welcome via PR.
