Mobile-first Swiper In Vanilla JavaScript – vanillaSwiper

Preview:

Description:

vanillaSwiper is a responsive, mobile-first swiper component that enables the user to scroll through a set of elements via touch swipe.

How to use it:

Import the vanillaSwiper’s JavaScript and Stylesheet into the document.

<link rel="stylesheet" href="css/swiper.css">
<script src="swiper.js"></script>

Initialize the swiper and we’re ready to go.

vanillaSwiper.init();
Create a set of elements for the swiper and then insert them into a container element with the data-swipe-natural attribute.

<div class="items" data-swipe-natural>
  <div class="item"><div class="inner"></div></div>
  <div class="item"><div class="inner"></div></div>
  <div class="item"><div class="inner"></div></div>
  <div class="item"><div class="inner"></div></div>
  <div class="item"><div class="inner"></div></div>
  ...
</div>

That’s it.  You can specify the star slide with the data-swipe-start attribute.

<div class="items" data-swipe-natural>
  <div class="item"><div class="inner"></div></div>
  <div class="item"><div class="inner"></div></div>
  <div class="item"><div class="inner" data-swipe-start></div></div>
  <div class="item"><div class="inner"></div></div>
  <div class="item"><div class="inner"></div></div>
  ...
</div>

Specify the maximum width of the swiper using the data-swipe-maxwidth attribute.

<div class="items" 
     data-swipe-natural
     data-swipe-maxwidth="640">
  <div class="item"><div class="inner"></div></div>
  <div class="item"><div class="inner"></div></div>
  <div class="item"><div class="inner" data-swipe-start></div></div>
  <div class="item"><div class="inner"></div></div>
  <div class="item"><div class="inner"></div></div>
  ...
</div>

Specify the space between slides using the data-swipe-spacing attribute.

<div class="items" 
     data-swipe-natural
     data-swipe-spacing='[{"width": "0", "spacing": "4"}, {"width": "520", "spacing": "8"}, {"width": "768", "spacing": "12"}]'>
  <div class="item"><div class="inner"></div></div>
  <div class="item"><div class="inner"></div></div>
  <div class="item"><div class="inner" data-swipe-start></div></div>
  <div class="item"><div class="inner"></div></div>
  <div class="item"><div class="inner"></div></div>
  ...
</div>

You can also customize the swiper by passing the options object to the vanillaSwiper.
