Migrating from carousel_slider

In this fork some of the namings are changed. So follow this below guides to migrate over this new package.

1. Instead of using CarouselController, we now will use CarouselSliderController. This change was necessary as flutter now has it's own CarouselController class as part of their material library.

Before

final CarouselController _controller = CarouselController();

After

final CarouselSliderController _controller = CarouselSliderController();

2. The parameter name to pass controller in CarouselSlider is now changed to controller from carouselController.

Before

CarouselSlider(
  carouselController: _controller,
  // Rest of the code
),

After

CarouselSlider(
  controller: _controller,
  // Rest of the code
),

Please make sure to change the import statement also

Before

import "package:carousel_slider/carousel_slider.dart;

After

import 'package:carousel_slider_plus/carousel_slider_plus.dart';

Features

• Infinite scroll
• Custom child widgets
• Auto play

Installation

Add latest version of carousel_slider_plus to your pubspec.yaml dependencies. And import it:

import 'package:carousel_slider_plus/carousel_slider_plus.dart';

How to use

Simply create a CarouselSlider widget, and pass the required params:

CarouselSlider(
  options: CarouselOptions(height: 400.0),
  items: [1,2,3,4,5].map((i) {
    return Builder(
      builder: (BuildContext context) {
        return Container(
          width: MediaQuery.of(context).size.width,
          margin: EdgeInsets.symmetric(horizontal: 5.0),
          decoration: BoxDecoration(
            color: Colors.amber
          ),
          child: Text('text $i', style: TextStyle(fontSize: 16.0),)
        );
      },
    );
  }).toList(),
)

Parameters

CarouselSlider(
  items: items,
  options: CarouselOptions(
    height: 400,
    aspectRatio: 16/9,
    viewportFraction: 0.8,
    initialPage: 0,
    enableInfiniteScroll: true,
    reverse: false,
    autoPlay: true,
    autoPlayInterval: Duration(seconds: 3),
    autoPlayAnimationDuration: Duration(milliseconds: 800),
    autoPlayCurve: Curves.fastOutSlowIn,
    enlargeCenterPage: true,
    enlargeFactor: 0.3,
    onPageChanged: callbackFunction,
    scrollDirection: Axis.horizontal,
  )
)

If you pass the height parameter, the aspectRatio parameter will be ignored.

Build item widgets on demand

This method will save memory by building items once it becomes necessary. This way they won't be built if they're not currently meant to be visible on screen. It can be used to build different child item widgets related to content or by item index.

CarouselSlider.builder(
  itemCount: 15,
  itemBuilder: (BuildContext context, int itemIndex, int pageViewIndex) {
    return Container(
      child: Text(itemIndex.toString()),
    );
  }
)

Carousel controller

In order to manually control the PageView's position, you can create your own CarouselSliderController, and pass it to CarouselSlider. Then you can use the CarouselSliderController instance to manipulate the position.

class CarouselDemo extends StatelessWidget {
  CarouselSliderController buttonCarouselController = CarouselSliderController();

  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) => Column(
    children: <Widget>[
      CarouselSlider(
        items: child,
        controller: buttonCarouselController,
        options: CarouselOptions(
          autoPlay: false,
          enlargeCenterPage: true,
          viewportFraction: 0.9,
          aspectRatio: 2.0,
          initialPage: 2,
        ),
      ),
      RaisedButton(
        onPressed: () => buttonCarouselController.nextPage(
            duration: Duration(milliseconds: 300), curve: Curves.linear),
        child: Text('→'),
      )
    ]
  );
}

CarouselSliderController methods

/// Animate to the next page
controller.nextPage({Duration duration, Curve curve});


/// Animate to the previous page
controller.previousPage({Duration duration, Curve curve});


/// Jump to the given page.
controller.jumpToPage(int page);


/// Animate to the given page.
controller.animateToPage(int page, {Duration duration, Curve curve});


/// Start/Stop Auto-play (only work if `autoplay` is set to true in `CarouselOptions`)
controller.startAutoPlay();
