Wanderlog header

This is a fork of Nuka Carousel that we maintain because the v5 branch has been abandoned, and we temporariily don't want to upgrade. Eventually, we may want to upgrade to nuka-carousel v8, but for now, we're maintaining the fork.

To add a new patch:

git checkout wanderlog
# 1. Make your changes and commit them to the wanderlog branch
# git add ...
git commit -m "Your change"
git push

git checkout wanderlog-built
git reset --hard wanderlog

# 2. Push a built version to the wanderlog-built branch
# Comment out the es, lib, and types lines in .gitignore
# Note: the below line works on macOS
sed -i '' -e '/^es$/s/^/#/' -e '/^lib$/s/^/#/' -e '/^types$/s/^/#/' .gitignore
# On Linux:
sed -i -e '/^es$/s/^/#/' -e '/^lib$/s/^/#/' -e '/^types$/s/^/#/' .gitignore

corepack enable
pnpm install
pnpm build
corepack disable
git push -f

Then, make a release:

1. Visit https://github.com/wanderlog/nuka-carousel/releases/new
2. Click "Draft a new release"
3. Fill in the "Tag version" field with the new version number (e.g., if the last version was v5.2.0.wanderlog.1, change it to v5.2.0.wanderlog.2)
4. You can leave everything else blank and click "Publish release"

Small, fast and accessibility-first React carousel library with easily customizable UI and behavior to fit your brand and site

If you are looking for v4 documentation, you can find it here

Install

To add nuka-carousel to your project run the following command in your project folder.

$ yarn add nuka-carousel

OR

$ npm install nuka-carousel

Migration guide from v4 to v5 is under development, please raise any questions in the Issues tab of the repository.

Example

You can test nuka-carousel default behaviour. Link

<Carousel>
  <img src="/image1.png" />
  <img src="/image2.png" />
  <img src="/image3.png" />
  <img src="/image4.png" />
  <img src="/image5.png" />
</Carousel>

Infinity nuka-carousel@5 with 3 slides to show. Link

<Carousel wrapAround={true} slidesToShow={3}>
  <img src="/image1.png" />
  <img src="/image2.png" />
  <img src="/image3.png" />
  <img src="/image4.png" />
  <img src="/image5.png" />
</Carousel>

You can play with &params url parameter to add or remove any carousel parameters and see how the carousel behaves. We are looking to build a proper documentation page with many examples and code snippets.

Improvements in v5

• Support server-side rendering. Currently in v4 all of the slides are positioned with position: absolute, which doesn't render the slides appropriately when javascript is disabled and there are flickering when the front-end is hydrated. This forced users to hardcode properties for the carousel like initialSlideHeight and initialSlideWidth. In v5 all slides are positioned with dynamic width, so the slides and carousel can be fully responsive and rendered correctly on server as well.
• Rewritten the library with TypeScript and React Hooks for obvious reasons.
• Reduce the size of the library and its dependencies. Currently v4 has 5 dependencies - prop-types, d3-ease, wicg-inert, exenv and react-move. We are looking to use only d3-ease in v5.1, but definitely after bumping the version of it to the latest.
  • prop-types is replaced with usage of TypeScript.
  • exenv is not maintained anymore and is removed with v5 as a dependency of nuka-carousel.
  • wicg-inert doesn't have specified license, so we are going to remove it from our dependencies. More info here. We are still supporting inert and we will have an example and more detailed documentation how you can use it with nuka-carousel v5.
  • react-move nothing personal, we just decided to go for our custom approach of animations in order to reduce the size of the library.
• Fixed issues. We fixed a lot of the issues that we currently have in v4. You can see the full list with fixed issues in our v5 project. Link

render*Controls

Type: (props: ControlProps) => ReactElement

A set of eight render props for rendering controls in different positions around the carousel.

• Valid render props for the eight positions are renderTopLeftControls, renderTopCenterControls, renderTopRightControls, renderCenterLeftControls, renderCenterCenterControls, renderCenterRightControls, renderBottomLeftControls, renderBottomCenterControls, and renderBottomRightControls.

• The default props are set as renderCenterLeftControls for Previous button, renderCenterRightControls for the Next button and renderBottomCenterControls for the "Paging dots". To change the position or remove "Paging dots", the default positions need to be disabled by setting them to null.

• You can remove all render controls using the withoutControls prop on Carousel.

• The render functions receive a ControlProps argument containing the following props from the Carousel props, using default values if not originally defined:

  cellAlign
  cellSpacing
  defaultControlsConfig
  onUserNavigation
  scrollMode
  slidesToScroll
  slidesToShow
  wrapAround
  

  Additionally, the following data and callbacks are provided to make creating controls easier:

  Name	Type	Description
  currentSlide	number	Current slide index
  pagingDotsIndices	number[]	The indices for the paging dots
  goToSlide	(targetIndex: number) => void	Go to a specific slide
  nextDisabled	boolean	Whether the "next" button should be disabled or not
  nextSlide	() => void	Go to the next slide
  previousDisabled	boolean	Whether the "previous" button should be disabled or not
  previousSlide	() => void	Go to the previous slide
  slideCount	number	Total number of slides

Example:

<Carousel
  renderTopCenterControls={({ currentSlide }) => (
    <div>Slide: {currentSlide}</div>
  )}
  renderCenterLeftControls={({ previousDisabled, previousSlide }) => (
    <button onClick={previousSlide} disabled={previousDisabled}>
      Previous
    </button>
  )}
  renderCenterRightControls={({ nextDisabled, nextSlide }) => (
    <button onClick={nextSlide} disabled={nextDisabled}>
      Next
    </button>
  )}
>
  {/* Carousel Content */}
</Carousel>

• NOTE: The className slide-visible is added to the currently visible slide or slides (when slidesToShow > 1). The className slide-current is added to the currently "active" slide.

easing and edgeEasing

(normalizedTime: number) => number

A function accepting a normalized time between 0 and 1, inclusive, and returning an eased time, which equals 0 at normalizedTime==0 and equals 1 at normalizedTime==1. You can plug in your own custom easing function (e.g., (t) => t for a linear transition), or import functions from a different library, like d3-ease.

import { easeCircleOut, easeElasticOut } from 'd3-ease';

// ...

<Carousel easing={easeCircleOut} edgeEasing={easeElasticOut}>
  {/* Carousel Content */}
</Carousel>

Please note that using a function for easing with "In" in it (easeInOut, easeElasticIn, etc.) will make swiping transitions feel a bit clunky, as the velocity at the end of the swipe will suddenly drop to follow the slow startup speed of the "In" easing function. In general, when using custom easing functions, try out both swiping and clicking on the navigation buttons to see how the transitions feel.

renderAnnounceSlideMessage

(props: Pick<CarouselState, 'currentSlide' \| 'count'>) => string

renderAnnounceSlideMessage render prop is a special case of the render*Controls props. It's responsibility is to render ARIA live announcement message to improve accessibility. The prop will announce the message you pass in every time the slide changes with VoiceOver enabled on your machine. The function returns only slideCount and currentSlide values.

<Carousel
  renderAnnounceSlideMessage={({ currentSlide, slideCount }) =>
    `Slide ${currentSlide + 1} of ${slideCount}`
  }
>
  {/* Carousel Content */}
</Carousel>

defaultControlsConfig

interface DefaultControlsConfig {
  containerClassName?: string;
  nextButtonClassName?: string;
  nextButtonOnClick?: (event: React.MouseEvent) => void;
  nextButtonStyle?: CSSProperties;
  nextButtonText?: React.ReactNode;
  pagingDotsClassName?: string;
  pagingDotsContainerClassName?: string;
  pagingDotsOnClick?: (event: React.MouseEvent) => void;
  pagingDotsStyle?: CSSProperties;
  prevButtonClassName?: string;
  prevButtonOnClick?: (event: React.MouseEvent) => void;
  prevButtonStyle?: CSSProperties;
  prevButtonText?: React.ReactNode;
}

The default controls used by Nuka are the Previous button, Next button, and PagingDots control. The visual look and text of these controls can be modified with props as described below:

• The props ending with ClassName let you apply a custom css class to its respective control.
• The props ending with Style let you apply inline styles to its respective control.
• The props ending with OnClick let you listen for user interaction with the controls.
• The text label for the Previous button and Next button can be customized using prevButtonText and nextButtonText, respectively.

For example, you can change the text of the Previous and Next buttons, and change the paging dots to red by passing in the following configuration:

defaultControlsConfig={{
  nextButtonText: 'Custom Next',
  prevButtonText: 'Custom Prev',
  pagingDotsStyle: {
    fill: 'red'
  }
}}
