Snappy-Carousel

Snappy is yet another carousel library. Its goal is to be as lightweight and performant as possible. It does not implement every feature found in other carousel libraries. Instead, it relies on native CSS scroll snapping and adds as little on top as possible.

Mouse-drag behavior closely follows native touch scrolling in the browser, including inertia and snapping to a slide.

Usage

CSS only

You can use Snappy without JavaScript. This gives you a simple CSS-only scroll container with snapping slides.

<!-- include the stylesheet in <head> -->
<link rel="stylesheet" href="dist/snappy.css">

<!-- add this structure -->
<div id="demo-carousel" class="snappy-carousel">
    <div class="snappy-slide"></div>
    <div class="snappy-slide"></div>
    <div class="snappy-slide"></div>
    ...
</div>

Snappy is mostly unstyled, leaving the appearance up to you. For inspiration, see the example.

Add JavaScript

Including the JavaScript adds the following features:

  • Previous and next buttons
  • Pagination
  • Mouse dragging
<script src="dist/snappy.js" defer></script>

Development

Install the development dependencies and build the minified JavaScript and CSS files into dist:

npm install
npm run build

To rebuild the files whenever a source file changes, run:

npm run watch
