A JavaScript plugin for carousel effect.
This plugin also demonstrates the way of implementing prototypal inheritance in JavaScript closure.
- No dependencies.
- Without jQuery.
- Displays carousel effect, with arrow key navigation to swipe images.
Insert its CSS at the <head> section.
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="css/carousel.css">
To initialize it, add the below codes at the <body> section.
The parameter is the id of div in line 8, which designs for the carousel.
<script type="text/javascript" src="js/carousel.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
var carousel1 = new setCarousel({
container: "carousel"
});
</script>
This JavaScript plugin defines three main parts in its .prototype, _getDom getting DOM objects, _setStyles setting the custom styles and _setEvent setting trigger events.
Apart from that, here are some notes for myself during developing.
a) An array, liNodes, which sets sources of images and their hyperlinks.
var liNodes = [
{
// Photo by Pixabay from Pexels
liImgSrc: "img/img1.jpg",
liHref: "https://www.google.com/"
},
b) A for loop to get all images created into each li, and append back to ul.
for (var i = 0; i < liNodes.length; i++) {
var liNode = d.createElement("li");
var imgNode = d.createElement("img");
imgNode.src = liNodes[i].liImgSrc;
liNode.appendChild(imgNode);
carouselList.appendChild(liNode);
}c) Considering its expandability, set self.liList.length instead of the actual number of images, in this case : (7).
+ if (index >= (self.liList.length - 1)) {...}
- if (index >= 7) {...}d) [index] determines which image to show and which image to hide by changing its opacity.
function changeImg() {
if (index >= (self.liList.length - 1)) {
self.liList[index].style["opacity"] = 0;
index = 0;
self.liList[index].style["opacity"] = 1;
}
else {
self.liList[index].style["opacity"] = 0;
index = index + 1;
self.liList[index].style["opacity"] = 1;
}
}e) At the last part, self.pagecontrolList[0].onclick as triggering previous images, and self.pagecontrolList[1].onclick as triggering next images.
self.pagecontrolList[0].onclick = function () {
self.previous();
};
self.pagecontrolList[1].onclick = function () {
self.next();
}
