What is Swiper?

Swiper - is the free and most modern mobile touch slider with hardware accelerated transitions and amazing native behavior. It is intended to be used in mobile websites, mobile web apps, and mobile native/hybrid apps. Designed mostly for iOS, but also works great on latest Android, Windows Phone 8 and modern Desktop browsers

Swiper is not compatible with all platforms, it is a modern touch slider which is focused only on modern apps/platforms to bring the best experience and simplicity.

Example with manipulating swiper from outside swiper component

Example with navigation button

import React from 'react';
import Swiper from 'react-id-swiper';

export default class Example extends React.Component {
  constructor(props) {
    super(props)
    this.goNext = this.goNext.bind(this)
    this.goPrev = this.goPrev.bind(this)
    this.swiper = null
  }

  goNext() {
    if (this.swiper) this.swiper.slideNext()
  }

  goPrev() {
    if (this.swiper) this.swiper.slidePrev()
  }

  render() {
    const params = {
      pagination: {
        el: '.swiper-pagination',
        type: 'bullets',
        clickable: true
      },
      navigation: {
        nextEl: '.swiper-button-next',
        prevEl: '.swiper-button-prev'
      }
    }

    return(
      <div>
        <Swiper {...params} ref={node => if(node) this.swiper = node.swiper }>
          <div>Slide 1</div>
          <div>Slide 2</div>
          <div>Slide 3</div>
          <div>Slide 4</div>
          <div>Slide 5</div>
        </Swiper>
        <button onClick={this.goNext}>Next</button>
        <button onClick={this.goPrev}>Prev</button>
      </div>
    )

How to add customized class for swiper?

Example with navigation button

const params = {
  pagination: {
    el: '.swiper-pagination.customized-swiper-pagination',
  }, // Add your class name for pagination container
  navigation: {
    nextEl: '.swiper-button-next.customized-swiper-button-next', // Add your class name for next button
    prevEl: '.swiper-button-prev.customized-swiper-button-prev' // Add your class name for prev button
  },
  containerClass: 'customized-swiper-container' // Replace swiper-container with customized-swiper-container
}

How to add customized components?

Example with customized navigation button

For customized rendering to work, you have to use same classname with params el.

const params = {
  navigation: {
    nextEl: '.swiper-button-next',
    prevEl: '.swiper-button-prev'
  },
  renderPrevButton: () => <button className="swiper-button-prev">Prev</button>,
  renderNextButton: () => <button className="swiper-button-next">Next</button>,
}
