Why?
There are some great carousels (like slick) that do not have real React implementations. This library provides you with carousel that is not merely a wrapper for some jQuery solution, can be used as controlled or uncontrolled element (similar to inputs), and has tons of useful features.
Installation
Basic
npm i @brainhubeu/react-carousel
Typescript
npm i @types/brainhubeu__react-carousel -D
CDN
If you don't use any bundler like Webpack, you can add these scripts to your HTML file, body
section:
<script crossorigin src="https://unpkg.com/react@16/umd/react.development.js"></script>
<script crossorigin src="https://unpkg.com/react-dom@16/umd/react-dom.development.js"></script>
<script crossorigin type="text/javascript" src="https://unpkg.com/@brainhubeu/react-carousel@1.10.62-cdn/lib/react-carousel.js"></script>
Make sure to use a version ending with -cdn
.
Then, you can use the following global variables:
BrainhubeuReactCarousel
BrainhubeuReactCarouselDots
BrainhubeuReactCarouselItem
BrainhubeuReactCarouselWrapper
SSR
When using @brainhubeu/react-carousel
with SSR (Server-side Rendering), we recommend Next.js as @brainhubeu/react-carousel
currently doesn't work on the server side so it must be rendered on the client side (maybe we'll provide server-side working in the future).
import dynamic from 'next/dynamic';
const { default: Carousel, Dots } = dynamic(
() => require('@brainhubeu/react-carousel'),
{ ssr: false },
);
Usage
By default, the component does not need anything except children to render a simple carousel. Remember that styles do not have to be imported every time you use carousel, you can do it once in an entry point of your bundle.
import React, { Component } from 'react';
import Carousel from '@brainhubeu/react-carousel';
import '@brainhubeu/react-carousel/lib/style.css';
export default class MyCarousel extends Component {
render() {
return (
<Carousel arrows dots>
<img src={imageOne} />
<img src={imageTwo} />
<img src={imageThree} />
</Carousel>
);
}
}
Showing dots or thumbnails
There is a separate Dots component that can be used to fully control navigation dots or add thumbnails.
import Carousel, { Dots } from '@brainhubeu/react-carousel';
import '@brainhubeu/react-carousel/lib/style.css';
// ...
constructor(props) {
super(props);
this.state = {
value: 0,
};
}
onChange = value => this.setState({ value });
render() {
return (
<div>
<Carousel
value={this.state.value}
onChange={this.onChange}
>
<img className="img-example" src={someImage} />
...
<img className="img-example" src={anotherImage} />
</Carousel>
<Dots
value={this.state.value}
onChange={this.onChange}
thumbnails={[
(<img key={1} className="img-example-small" src={abstractImage} />),
...
(<img key={12} className="img-example-small" src={transportImage} />),
]}
/>
</div>
);
}

Setting up local development which means running the docs/demo locally:
git clone https://github.com/brainhubeu/react-carousel
cd react-carousel
yarn
cd docs-www
yarn
- if you want to connect demo with the carousel source code, replace
__RC_ENV__
intodevelopment
in https://github.com/brainhubeu/react-carousel/blob/master/docs-www/src/globalReferences.js#L2 and remove the.babelrc
file in the root directory; otherwise, it will use the carousel code installed indocs-www/node_modules
yarn develop
- open http://localhost:8000/
Tests
Each test command should be run from the root directory.
Unit tests
yarn test:unit
E2E tests
yarn test:e2e
