Quick start

import React from 'react';
import AliceCarousel from 'react-alice-carousel';


const Gallery = () => {
  const handleOnDragStart = e => e.preventDefault()
  return (
    <AliceCarousel mouseDragEnabled >
      <img src="/img1" onDragStart={handleOnDragStart} className="yours-custom-class" />
      <img src="/img2" onDragStart={handleOnDragStart} className="yours-custom-class" />
      <img src="/img3" onDragStart={handleOnDragStart} className="yours-custom-class" />
      <img src="/img4" onDragStart={handleOnDragStart} className="yours-custom-class" />

    </AliceCarousel>
  )
}

Advanced configuration

Props

• items : Array, default [] - gallery items, preferable to use this property instead of children

• duration : Number, default 250 - Duration of slides transition (milliseconds)

• responsive : Object, default {} - Number of items in the slide

    {
        0: {
            items: 1
        },
        1024: {
            items: 3
        }
    }

• buttonsDisabled : Boolean, false - Disable buttons control

• dotsDisabled : Boolean, false - Disable dots navigation

• startIndex : Number, 0 - The starting index of the carousel

• slideToIndex : Number, 0 - Sets the carousel at the specified position

• swipeDisabled : Boolean, default false - Disable swipe handlers

• mouseDragEnabled : Boolean, default false - Enable mouse drag animation

  To Avoid unexpected behavior you should handle drag event independently, something like in an example

• infinite : Boolean, default true - Disable infinite mode

• fadeOutAnimation : Boolean, false - Enable fadeout animation. Fired when 1 item is in the slide

• keysControlDisabled : Boolean, default false - Disable keys controls (left, right, space)

• playButtonEnabled : Boolean, default false - Disable play/pause button

• autoPlay : Boolean, default false - Set auto play mode

• autoPlayInterval : Number, default 250 - Interval of auto play animation (milliseconds). If specified, a larger value will be taken from comparing this property and the duration one

• autoPlayDirection : String, default ltr - To run auto play in the left direction specify rtl value

• autoPlayActionDisabled : Boolean, default false - If this property is identified as true auto play animation will be stopped after clicking user on any gallery button

• stopAutoPlayOnHover : Boolean, default true - If this property is identified as false auto play animation won't stopped on hover

• showSlideIndex : Boolean, default false - Show slide info

• onSlideChange : Function - Fired when the event object is changing / returns event object

• onSlideChanged : Function - Fired when the event object was changed / returns event object

  Both functions return next object

    {
        item: index,   // index of the item`s position
        slide: index   // index of the slide`s position
    }

Examples

import React from 'react';
import AliceCarousel from 'react-alice-carousel';


class Gallery extends React.Component {  
  responsive = {
    0: { items: 1 },
    600: { items: 2 },
    1024: { items: 3 },
  };
  
  onSlideChange(e) {
    console.log('Item`s position during a change: ', e.item);
    console.log('Slide`s position during a change: ', e.slide);
  };

  onSlideChanged(e) {
    console.log('Item`s position after changes: ', e.item);
    console.log('Slide`s position after changes: ', e.slide);
  };
  
  galleryItems() {
    return (
      [1, 2, 3, 4, 5].map((item, i) => (
        <div key={`key-${i}`} className="yours-custom-class"><h2>{item}</h2></div>
      ))
    )
  };
  
  render() {
    const items = this.galleryItems();

    return (
      <AliceCarousel
        items={items}
        duration={400}
        autoPlay={true}
        startIndex = {1}
        fadeOutAnimation={true}
        mouseDragEnabled={true}
        playButtonEnabled={true}
        autoPlayInterval={2000}
        autoPlayDirection="rtl"
        responsive={this.responsive}
        autoPlayActionDisabled={true}
        onSlideChange={this.onSlideChange}
        onSlideChanged={this.onSlideChanged}
      />
    );
  }
}

Custom Prev / Next buttons, dots / thumbs navigation:

• Using - refs.

import React from 'react';
import AliceCarousel from 'react-alice-carousel';


class Gallery extends React.Component {  
  items = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5];
  
  galleryItem = (item, i) => (
    <div key={`key-${i}`} className="yours-custom-class"><h2>{item}</h2></div>
  )
  
  thumbItem = (item, i) => (
    <li key={i} onClick={() => this.Carousel._onDotClick(i)}>Thumb {item}</li>
  )
                                   
  render() {
    const items = this.items.map(this.galleryItem)
    
    return (
      <div>
        <h3>Navigation</h3>
        <ul>{this.items.map(this.thumbItem)}</ul>
        <button onClick={() => this.Carousel._slidePrev()}>Prev button</button>
        <button onClick={() => this.Carousel._slideNext()}>Next button</button>
        <h3>React Alice Carousel</h3>
        
        <AliceCarousel
          items={items}
          dotsDisabled={true}
          buttonsDisabled={true}
          ref={ el => this.Carousel = el }
        />
      </div>
    );
  }
}

• Using props

import React from 'react';
import AliceCarousel from 'react-alice-carousel';


class Gallery extends React.Component {
  items = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5];
  state = {
    currentIndex: 0,
    responsive: { 1024: { items: 3 }},
    items: this.items.map(this.galleryItem),
  };

  slideTo = (i) => this.setState({ currentIndex: i });

  onSlideChanged = (e) => this.setState({ currentIndex: e.item });

  slideNext = () => this.setState({ currentIndex: this.state.currentIndex + 1 });

  slidePrev = () => this.setState({ currentIndex: this.state.currentIndex - 1 });
    
  thumbItem = (item, i) => (
    <li key={`key-${i}`} onClick={() => this.slideTo(i)}>Thumb {item}</li>
  );
    
  galleryItem = (item, i) => (
    <div key={`key-${i}`} className="yours-custom-class"><h2>{item}</h2></div>
  );

  render() {
    const { items, responsive, currentIndex } = this.state
    return (
      <div>
        <h3>Navigation</h3>
        <ul>{this.items.map(this.thumbItem)}</ul>
        <button onClick={() => this.slidePrev()}>Prev button</button>
        <button onClick={() => this.slideNext()}>Next button</button>
        <h3>React Alice Carousel</h3>

        <AliceCarousel
          items={items}
          dotsDisabled={true}
          buttonsDisabled={true}
          responsive={responsive}
          slideToIndex={currentIndex}
          onSlideChanged={this.onSlideChanged}
        />
      </div>
    );
  }
}
