Responsive Interactive Timeline In Vanilla JavaScript – Simple Timeline

Preview:

Description:

A simple, responsive, interactive timeline implemented in pure JavaScript.

On the desktop, hover the timeline to scroll between nodes. Click the node to display the details about the event.

On the mobile device, it will collapse into a vertical timeline where the event details will always be visible on the screen.

How to use it:

Insert the Simple Timeline’s JavaScript and Stylesheet into the html file.

<link rel="stylesheet" href="simpletimeline.css">
<script src="simpletimeline-min.js"></script>

Create a container in which you want to hold the timeline.

<div id="timeline"></div>

Define your own event data for the timeline.

const DATA = [
      {
        year: '2004',
        title: 'This is a test title',
        image: 'https://picsum.photos/600/400'
      },
