Getting Started

Please make sure you wrap the component in a container that has a width and height.

When no mode is specified, the component defaults to HORIZONTAL mode. Please check props for all the available options.

  import React from "react"
  import { Chrono } from "react-chrono";
  
  const Home = () => {
    const items = [{
      title: "May 1940",
      cardTitle: "Dunkirk",
      cardSubtitle:"Men of the British Expeditionary Force (BEF) wade out to..",
      media: {
        type: "IMAGE",
        source: {
          url: "http://someurl/image.jpg"
        }
      }
    }, ...];

    return (
      <div style={{ width: "500px", height: "400px" }}>
        <Chrono items={items} />
      </div>
    )
  }

Vertical Alternating

  <div style={{ width: "500px", height: "950px" }}>
    <chrono
      items={items}
      mode="VERTICAL_ALTERNATING"
    />
  </div>

  <chrono items={items} mode="VERTICAL" />
  <chrono items={items} mode="VERTICAL_ALTERNATING" />

Timeline item Model

title title of the timeline item String
cardTitle title that is displayed on the timeline card String
cardSubtitle text displayed in the timeline card String
cardDetailedText detailed text displayed in the timeline card String
media media object to set image or video. Object
{
  title: "May 1940",
  cardTitle: "Dunkirk",
  media: {
    name: "dunkirk beach",
    source: {
      url: "http://someurl/image.jpg"
    },
    type: "IMAGE"
  },
  cardSubtitle:
    "Men of the British Expeditionary Force (BEF) wade out to a destroyer during the evacuation from Dunkirk."
}

Keyboard Navigation

The timeline can be navigated via keyboard.

  • For HORIZONTAL mode use your LEFT RIGHT arrow keys for navigation.
  • For VERTICAL or VERTICAL_ALTERNATING mode, the timeline can be navigated via the UP DOWN arrow keys.
  • To easily jump to the first item or the last item in the timeline, use HOME or END keys.

To disable keyboard navigation set disableNavOnKey to true.

<chrono items={items} disableNavOnKey />

Scrollable

With the scrollable prop, you can enable scrolling on both VERTICAL and VERTICAL_ALTERNATING modes.

  <chrono items={items} scrollable />

The scrollbar is not shown by default. To enable the scrollbar, pass an object with prop scrollbar to scrollable prop.

  <chrono items={items} scrollable={{scrollbar: true}} />

Media

Both images and videos can be embedded in the timeline. Just add the media attribute to the Timeline Item model and the component will take care of the rest.

To embed a image
{
  title: "May 1940",
  cardTitle: "Dunkirk",
  media: {
    name: "dunkirk beach",
    source: {
      url: "http://someurl/image.jpg"
    },
    type: "IMAGE"
  }
}
To embed a video

Videos start playing automatically when active and will be automatically paused when not active. Like images, videos are also automatically hidden when not in the visible viewport of the container.

{
  title: "7 December 1941",
  cardTitle: "Pearl Harbor",
  media: {
    source: {
      url: "/pearl-harbor.mp4",
      type: "mp4"
    },
    type: "VIDEO",
    name: "Pearl Harbor"
  }
}

To embed YouTube videos, use the right embed url.

{
  title: "7 December 1941",
  cardTitle: "Pearl Harbor",
  media: {
    source: {
      url: "https://www.youtube.com/embed/f6cz9gtMTeI",
      type: "mp4"
    },
    type: "VIDEO",
    name: "Pearl Harbor"
  }
}

Rendering custom content

The component also supports embedding custom content in the Timeline cards.

To insert custom content, just pass the blocked elements between the Chrono tags.

For e.g the below snippet will create 2 timeline items. Each div element is automatically converted into a timeline item and inserted into the timeline card. The items collection is completely optional and custom rendering is supported on all 3 modes.

  <Chrono mode="VERTICAL">
    <div>
      <p>Lorem Ipsum. Lorem Ipsum. Lorem Ipsum</p>
    </div>
    <div>
      <img src="<url to  a nice image" />
    </div>
  </Chrono>

The items collection will also work nicely with any custom content that is passed. The following snippet sets the the title and cardTitle for the custom contents.

  const items = [
    {title: "Timeline title 1", cardTitle:  "Card Title 1"},
    {title: "Timeline title 2", cardTitle:  "Card Title 2"}
  ];

  <Chrono mode="VERTICAL" items={items}>
    <div>
      <p>Lorem Ipsum. Lorem Ipsum. Lorem Ipsum</p>
    </div>
    <div>
      <img src="<url to  a nice image" />
    </div>
  </Chrono>

Slideshow mode

Slideshow can be enabled by setting the slideShow prop to true. You can also set an optional slideItemDuration that sets the time delay between cards.

setting this prop enables the play button in the timeline control panel.

<chrono items={items} slideShow slideItemDuration={4500} />

Item Width

The itemWidth prop can be used to set the width of each individual timeline sections. This setting is applicable only for the HORIZONTAL mode.

Theme

Customize colors with theme prop.

<chrono items={items}  theme={{primary: "red", secondary: "blue", cardBgColor: "yellow", cardForeColor: "violet" }} />
