}

Scrollable slider for Simple usage:

     { children }
  </Slider>

 - sliderWrapperClassName?: string

Infinite Slider

• set infinite=true to have infinity.
• If you need the center mode set centerMode=true.
• To scale up of the active slide you should use scaleUpOnActive=true.

 <Slider
      config={ {
        infinite: true,
        centerMode: true,
        scaleUpOnActive: true,
      } }
  >
     { children }
 </Slider>

Auto play

• Use autoPlay=true to move automatically on each 5000ms.
• If you need the change the autoPlayInterval time set autoPlayInterval=YOUR_INTERVAL_NUM. The unit is millisecond and it recommended to be bigger than 1000ms.
• To change the moving direction on autoPlayInterval you should set rtl=true.

 <Slider
      config={ {
        autoPlay: true,
        autoPlayInterval: 15000,
        rtl: true,
      } }
  >
     { children }
 </Slider>

Sliding effect

• The default animation duration of the changing slide is 400ms, which you can change it by animationDuration=YOUR_INTERVAL_NUM. The unit is millisecond and it recommended to be less than 1000ms.

• There is a 50px default threshold to prevent small touchs to changing slide, which you can change it by minimumSwipeDistance=YOUR_THRESHOLD. The unit is px and it recommended to be bigger than 30px.

• The default count of slide changing is 1, which you can change it by slidesToMove=YOUR_COUNT.

 <Slider
      config={ {
        animationDuration: 400,
        minimumSwipeDistance: 100,
        slidesToMove: 2,
      } }
  >
     { children }
 </Slider>

Sizing

There are 3 ways to render slides:

• 1. Don't define any config and allow the Slider to use children size and styles.
• 2. Set visibleSlidesCount , gap, and offset to compute the width of children by it's parrent and show count value.
• 3. Set specific width, gap, and offset.

• gapBetweenSlides is the gap between slides.

• offset is the first and last gap of items.

 <Slider
      config={ {
        visibleSlidesCount: 1,
        offset: 40 ,
        gapBetweenSlides: 20,
      } }
  >
     { children }
 </Slider>
