Sled

Sled is the wrapper-component. It takes no props.

Views

Render all your views into this component. It takes these optional props:

Name	Type	Default	Description
width	String	'100%'	Sets the viewpager’s width. Allowed units: all CSS-units
height	String	null	Sets the viewpager’s height.
proportion	String	2:1	Provide either a width or height and set the other dimension proportional to it. If you provide a height and a width proportion is disabled.
showElements	Number	1	Determines how many Slides/Views fit in the Sled’s viewport.
slideBy	Number	1	Determines how many Slides/Views the Sled’s slides with one movement .
select	Number	undefined	Select certain view.
style	Object	null	Add inline styles to the view-wrapper.
keyboard	Boolean	true	Set Keyboard controls.
dragging	Boolean	true	Set Mouse- and Touch-Dragging.
dragDistance	Number or String	40	Distance the user has to drag the slider to trigger action. A number is calculated in Pixel. A string is converted to a number unless it has the unit %, which means "percent of Sled’s width".
autoPlay	Number	undefined	Activates automatic Sliding-Interval in Milliseconds.
config	Number	{ mass: 1, tension: 210, friction: 20, clamp: true }	react-spring animation-settings.
pause	Boolean	false	autoPlay (if activated) gets paused.
pauseOnMouseOver	Boolean	true	autoPlay (if activated) gets paused, as long as the user hovers over the sled.
stopOnInteraction	Boolean	false	autoPlay (if activated) gets stopped, after the user interacted with the sled.
rewind	Boolean	false	Rewind sled, when you want to go beyond the first or last view.
onSledEnd	function	null	Callback, that gets triggered after last view.
onAnimationStart	function	null	Callback, that gets triggered when a sliding-animation starts.
onAnimationEnd	function	null	Callback, that gets triggered when a sliding-animation ends.

Controls

There is only one control-component for Arrows and Selecting-Dots. The prop select decides what the Control-element is: A string called next or prev will activate Arrow-functionality, a number Select-functionality.

You can easily style it via CSS. The default-styles are scoped to the class-name sled-progress-default. They are contained in the file dist/index.css. If you give it a custom className-prop, the default-class will be overridden and the Progress will be completely unstyled. Then you can copy the default-styles from here as a starting-point.

Control Props Overview:

Name	Type	Default	Description
select	String or Number	'next'	Defines, if the Control has arrow- or dot-functionality. A number is the index of the target-view. A string can be 'prev' or 'next'
className	String	Default depends on select
style	String	''	If you provide a style and no preset, the default preset gets completely replaced. If you provide a style and a preset, the preset gets extended.

Arrow: Default-Design:

<Control
  select="next"
/>

Your Custom-Design:

<Control
  select="next"
  className="custom"
  style={{
    background: 'red'
  }}
>
  My custom arrow!
</Control>

Selection-Dot:

<Control
  select={1}
/>

Progress

react-sled has an Instagram-like progress-bar. You can easily style it via CSS. The default-styles are scoped to the class-name sled-progress-default. If you give it a custom className-prop, the Progress will be completely unstyled. You can copy the default-styles from here as a starting-point.

Progress Props Overview:

Name	Type	Default	Description
className	String	Default depends on select
style	String	''	If you provide a style and no preset, the default preset gets completely replaced. If you provide a style and a preset, the preset gets extended.

<Progress
  className="my-progress"
  style={{ background: 'red' }}
/>

useSledStore

A hook, that exposes the plugin’s state-management. useSledStore is only useable inside the Sled-Component. It returns an Array with 2 elements:

1. state of type object
2. dispatch of type function

To-Do

• Control animation by frame on drag
• Infinity-Mode
• Nice documentation with live examples (using Docz)
• automated testing
