A flexible and responsive carousel component for react

react-elastic-carousel

A flexible and responsive carousel component for react.

Why do we need yet another carousel component?

• Element resize support (true responsiveness)
  Most of the carousel components are responsive to the viewport size, but this is not a real responsive support as we can have an element with a width:500px on a 1200px screen, most carousel component will "think" we are on a 1200px mode because they "watch" the view-port's size and not the wrapping element's size.
  This is the reason why react-eleastic-carousel is using the resize-observer which gives us a true responsive support, not matter on what screen size we are.

• RTL (right-to-left) support
  Supporting right-to-left languages requires a full support for right-to-left rendering and animations which is not supported in most of the carousel components out there. also, right-to-left support is important and should be a standard for most applications.

Install

npm install --save react-elastic-carousel

Usage

import React, { Component } from 'react';
import Carousel from 'react-elastic-carousel';

class App extends Component {
  state = {
    items: [
      {id: 1, title: 'item #1'},
      {id: 2, title: 'item #2'},
      {id: 3, title: 'item #3'},
      {id: 4, title: 'item #4'},
      {id: 5, title: 'item #5'}
    ]
  }

  render () {
    const { items } = this.state;
    return (
      <Carousel>
        {items.map(item => <div key={item.id}>{item.title}</div>)}
      </Carousel>
    )
  }
}
