Responsive, Mobile-friendly Carousel Slider with CSS Grid – GridSlider

GridSlider is a lightweight JavaScript library that creates responsive, accessible, touch-enabled carousels using CSS Grid layout.

Features

• Pure JavaScript implementation: No external dependencies or framework requirements.
• CSS Grid foundation: Uses modern CSS Grid layout for responsive behavior.
• Touch gesture support: Native swipe functionality for mobile devices.
• Multiple slider support: Handle multiple carousels on a single page.
• Accessibility built-in: Keyboard navigation and ARIA labels included.
• Customizable pagination: Flexible pager styling with CSS variables.
• Smooth scrolling: Native scroll snapping and smooth animations.
• Responsive design: Automatically adapts to different screen sizes.

How to use it:

1. Import the GridSlider’s JavaScript and Stylesheet into your project.

<link rel="stylesheet" href="theme.css">

<script type="module">
  import initGlider from '../index.js';
</script>

2. Create the HTML structure for your carousel. You need a main container, a grid wrapper, your slide items, and a pager element as follows:

<div class="glider glider-mq">
  <div class="glider-grid">
    <div class="glider-grid-item">1</div>
    <div class="glider-grid-item">2</div>
    <div class="glider-grid-item">3</div>
    ... more slides here
  </div>
  <div class="glider-pager"></div>
</div>

3. Initialize the scarousel in your main JavaScript file. The library will automatically find and set up all elements with the default .glider class.

initGlider();

4. Override the default CSS selector for your carousel containers.

initGlider({
  sliderSelector: '.myCarousel'
});

5. Customizing the look through CSS variables.

:root {
  --glider-spacing: 1rem;
  --glider-top-padding: 0.5rem;
  --glider-right-padding: calc((100% - 80rem) / 2 + 7.75rem);
  --glider-bottom-padding: 0.5rem;
  --glider-left-padding: 0;
  --glider-peek: 0.5;
  --glider-spacing: 1rem;
}
