Tiny Slider 2

Tiny slider for all purposes, inspired by Owl Carousel.

Previous versions: v1, v0

Warning: tiny-slider works with static content and it works in the browser only. If the HTML is loaded dynamically, make sure to call tns() after its loading.

What's new

Using % instead of px (No more recalculation of each slide width on window resize)
Using CSS Mediaqueries if supported
Save browser capability values to localStorage, so they will not be recheck again until browser get upgraded or user clear the localStorage manually.
More options available for responsive. (Start from v2.1.0, issue 53)
Insert controls and nav before slider instead of after (issue 4)
Move autoplay button out of nav container. (Start from v2.1.0)
Some selector changes in tiny-slider.scss

Migrating to v2

Update controls and / or nav styles based on their position changes.
Update the slider selectors accordingly if used in your CSS or JS.
Update styles related to autoplay button.

<div class="my-slider">
  <div></div>
  <div></div>
  <div></div>
</div>
<!-- or ul.my-slider > li -->

<script type="module">
  import {tns} from './src/tiny-slider.js';

NOTE: Prior to v2.0.2, options "container", "controlsContainer", "navContainer" and "autoplayButton" still need to be DOM elements. E.g. container: document.querySelector('.my-slider')

Responsive options

The following options can be redefined in responsive field: startIndex, items, slideBy, speed, autoHeight, fixedWidth, edgePadding, gutter, center, controls, controlsText, nav, autoplay, autoplayHoverPause, autoplayResetOnVisibility, autoplayText, autoplayTimeout, touch, mouseDrag, arrowKeys, disable

<script>
  var slider = tns({
    container: '.my-slider',
    items: 1,
    responsive: {
      640: {
        edgePadding: 20,
        gutter: 20,
        items: 2
      },
      700: {
        gutter: 30
      },
      900: {
        items: 3
      }
    }
  });
</script>

NOTE:

The breakpoints behave like (min-width: breakpoint) in CSS, so an undefined option will be inherited from previous small breakpoints.
fixedWidth can only be changed to other positive integers. It can't be changed to negative integer, 0 or other data type. top↑

Methods

The slider returns a slider object with some properties and methods once it's initialized:

{
  version: version, // tiny-slider version
  getInfo: info(),
  events: events, // Object
  goTo: goTo(),
  play: play(),
  pause: pause(),
  isOn: isOn, // Boolean
  updateSliderHeight: updateInnerWrapperHeight(),
  refresh: initSliderTransform(),
  destroy: destroy(),
  rebuild: rebuild()
}

To get the slider information, you can either use the getInfo() method or subscribe to an Event. Both return an Object:

{
                container: container, // slider container
               slideItems: slideItems, // slides list
             navContainer: navContainer, // nav container
                 navItems: navItems, // dots list
        controlsContainer: controlsContainer, // controls container
              hasControls: hasControls, // indicate if controls exist
               prevButton: prevButton, // previous button
               nextButton: nextButton, // next button
                    items: items, // items on a page
                  slideBy: slideBy // items slide by
               cloneCount: cloneCount, // cloned slide count
               slideCount: slideCount, // original slide count
            slideCountNew: slideCountNew, // total slide count after initialization
                    index: index, // current index
              indexCached: indexCached, // previous index
             displayIndex: getCurrentSlide(), // display index starts from 1
               navCurrent: navCurrent, // current dot index
         navCurrentCached: navCurrentCached, // previous dot index
                    pages: pages, // visible nav indexes
              pagesCached: pagesCached,
                    sheet: sheet,
                    event: e || {}, // event object if available
};

getInfo

Get slider information.

slider.getInfo();

document.querySelector('.next-button').onclick = function () {
  // get slider info
  var info = slider.getInfo(),
      indexPrev = info.indexCached,
      indexCurrent = info.index;

  // update style based on index
  info.slideItems[indexPrev].classList.remove('active');
  info.slideItems[indexCurrent].classList.add('active');
};

goTo

Go to specific slide by number or keywords.

slider.goTo(3);
slider.goTo('prev');
slider.goTo('next');
slider.goTo('first');
slider.goTo('last');

document.querySelector('.goto-button').onclick = function () {
  slider.goTo(3);
};

play

Programmatically start slider autoplay when autoplay: true.

slider.play();

pause

Programmatically stop slider autoplay when autoplay: true.

slider.pause();

updateSliderHeight

Manually adjust slider height when autoHeight is true.

slider.updateSliderHeight();

destroy

Destroy the slider.

slider.destroy();

rebuild

Rebuild the slider after destroy.

slider = slider.rebuild();
// this method returns a new slider Object with the same options with the original slider

Custom Events

Available events include: indexChanged, transitionStart, transitionEnd, newBreakpointStart, newBreakpointEnd, touchStart, touchMove, touchEnd, dragStart, dragMove and dragEnd.

var customizedFunction = function (info, eventName) {
  // direct access to info object
  console.log(info.event.type, info.container.id);
}

// bind function to event
slider.events.on('transitionEnd', customizedFunction);

// remove function binding
slider.events.off('transitionEnd', customizedFunction);
