The Swiper-plugin is an extension for Grav CMS that provides a thin wrapper for Swiper, a "modern mobile touch slider with hardware accelerated transitions and amazing native behavior".

Installing the Swiper-plugin can be done in one of three ways: The GPM (Grav Package Manager) installation method lets you quickly install the plugin with a simple terminal command, the manual method lets you do so via a zip file, and the admin method lets you do so via the Admin Plugin.

To install the plugin via the GPM, through your system's terminal (also called the command line), navigate to the root of your Grav-installation, and enter:

bin/gpm install swiper

This will install the Swiper-plugin into your /user/plugins-directory within Grav. Its files can be found under /your/site/grav/user/plugins/swiper.

To install the plugin manually, download the zip-version of this repository and unzip it under /your/site/grav/user/plugins. Then rename the folder to swiper. You can find these files on GitHub or via GetGrav.org.

You should now have all the plugin files under

/your/site/grav/user/plugins/swiper

If you use the Admin Plugin, you can install the plugin directly by browsing the Plugins-menu and clicking on the Add button.

Before configuring this plugin, you should copy the user/plugins/swiper/swiper.yaml to user/config/plugins/swiper.yaml and only edit that copy.

Here is the default configuration and an explanation of available options:

enabled: true
templates: true
shortcodes: true
defaults:
  a11y:
    enabled: true
  autoHeight: true
  centeredSlides: true
  direction: horizontal
  keyboard:
    enabled: true
  navigation:
    nextEl: ".swiper-button-next"
    prevEl: ".swiper-button-prev"
  lazy: true

The enabled-option enables or disables the plugin, the templates-option enables or disables the plugin's templates, and the shortcodes-option enables or disables the plugin's shortcodes. The defaults-option sets the default settings for Swiper.

Note that if you use the Admin Plugin, a file with your configuration named swiper.yaml will be saved in the user/config/plugins/-folder once the configuration is saved in the Admin.

The plugin exposes a [slider]-shortcode, a Page Type and a template-partial. These can be overriden by your theme or plugin.

• The shortcode can take all options of the Swiper API through its parameters
  • Options are set with the dot-notation format
  • Options with no explicit value are interpreted as true
• Slides can contain any content that Swiper accepts, and each Slide within [slider] and [/slider] must be separated by a new line
• Assets are loaded by default
• Default settings can be set with the defaults in /user/config/plugins/swiper.yaml
