Install

bower install tiny-slider or npm install tiny-slider

Usage

1. Add CSS (and IE8 polyfills if needed)

<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/tiny-slider/2.9.4/tiny-slider.css">
<!--[if (lt IE 9)]><script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/tiny-slider/2.9.4/min/tiny-slider.helper.ie8.js"></script><![endif]-->

2. Add markup

<div class="my-slider">
  <div></div>
  <div></div>
  <div></div>
</div>
<!-- or ul.my-slider > li -->

3. Call tns()

Option A: Add tiny-slider.js to your page:

<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/tiny-slider/2.9.2/min/tiny-slider.js"></script>
<!-- NOTE: prior to v2.2.1 tiny-slider.js need to be in <body> -->

Option B: Import tns via webpack or rollup:

// yourScript.js
import { tns } from "./node_modules/tiny-slider/src/tiny-slider"

Option C: Import tns directly start from v2.8.2

<script type="module">
  import {tns} from './src/tiny-slider.js';

  var slider = tns({
    container: '.my-slider',
    items: 3,
    slideBy: 'page',
    autoplay: true
  });
  </script>

top↑

Options

NOTE: Prior to v2.0.2, options "container", "controlsContainer", "navContainer" and "autoplayButton" still need to be DOM elements. E.g. container: document.querySelector('.my-slider')

Responsive options

The following options can be redefined in responsive field: startIndex, items, slideBy, speed, autoHeight, fixedWidth, edgePadding, gutter, center, controls, controlsText, nav, autoplay, autoplayHoverPause, autoplayResetOnVisibility, autoplayText, autoplayTimeout, touch, mouseDrag, arrowKeys, disable

<script>
  var slider = tns({
    container: '.my-slider',
    items: 1,
    responsive: {
      640: {
        edgePadding: 20,
        gutter: 20,
        items: 2
      },
      700: {
        gutter: 30
      },
      900: {
        items: 3
      }
    }
  });
</script>

NOTE:

The breakpoints behave like (min-width: breakpoint) in CSS, so an undefined option will be inherited from previous small breakpoints.
fixedWidth can only be changed to other positive integers. It can't be changed to negative integer, 0 or other data type. top↑

Methods

The slider returns a slider object with some properties and methods once it's initialized:

{
  version: version, // tiny-slider version
  getInfo: info(),
  events: events, // Object
  goTo: goTo(),
  play: play(),
  pause: pause(),
  isOn: isOn, // Boolean
  updateSliderHeight: updateInnerWrapperHeight(),
  refresh: initSliderTransform(),
  destroy: destroy(),
  rebuild: rebuild()
}

To get the slider information, you can either use the getInfo() method or subscribe to an Event. Both return an Object:

{
                container: container, // slider container
               slideItems: slideItems, // slides list
             navContainer: navContainer, // nav container
                 navItems: navItems, // dots list
        controlsContainer: controlsContainer, // controls container
              hasControls: hasControls, // indicate if controls exist
               prevButton: prevButton, // previous button
               nextButton: nextButton, // next button
                    items: items, // items on a page
                  slideBy: slideBy // items slide by
               cloneCount: cloneCount, // cloned slide count
               slideCount: slideCount, // original slide count
            slideCountNew: slideCountNew, // total slide count after initialization
                    index: index, // current index
              indexCached: indexCached, // previous index
             displayIndex: getCurrentSlide(), // display index starts from 1
               navCurrent: navCurrent, // current dot index
         navCurrentCached: navCurrentCached, // previous dot index
                    pages: pages, // visible nav indexes
              pagesCached: pagesCached,
                    sheet: sheet,
                    event: e || {}, // event object if available
};

getInfo

Get slider information.

slider.getInfo();

document.querySelector('.next-button').onclick = function () {
  // get slider info
  var info = slider.getInfo(),
      indexPrev = info.indexCached,
      indexCurrent = info.index;

  // update style based on index
  info.slideItems[indexPrev].classList.remove('active');
  info.slideItems[indexCurrent].classList.add('active');
};

goTo

Go to specific slide by number or keywords.

slider.goTo(3);
slider.goTo('prev');
slider.goTo('next');
slider.goTo('first');
slider.goTo('last');

document.querySelector('.goto-button').onclick = function () {
  slider.goTo(3);
};

play

Programmatically start slider autoplay when autoplay: true.

slider.play();

pause

Programmatically stop slider autoplay when autoplay: true.

slider.pause();

updateSliderHeight

Manually adjust slider height when autoHeight is true.

slider.updateSliderHeight();

destroy

Destroy the slider.

slider.destroy();

rebuild

Rebuild the slider after destroy.

slider = slider.rebuild();
// this method returns a new slider Object with the same options with the original slider

Custom Events

Available events include: indexChanged, transitionStart, transitionEnd, newBreakpointStart, newBreakpointEnd, touchStart, touchMove, touchEnd, dragStart, dragMove and dragEnd.

var customizedFunction = function (info, eventName) {
  // direct access to info object
  console.log(info.event.type, info.container.id);
}

// bind function to event
slider.events.on('transitionEnd', customizedFunction);

// remove function binding
slider.events.off('transitionEnd', customizedFunction);
