Super Tiny Carousel In Vanilla JavaScript – Lite Carousel

Lite Carousel is a really light, zero-dependency JavaScript carousel library that uses the requestAnimationFrame() method to provide the fast, smooth transition effect between slides.

How to use it:

Add custom slides and next/prev buttons to the carousel.

<div id="lite-carousel">
  <div id="prev"><</div>
  <div class="viewport">
    <ul>
      <li><img src="1.jpg"><span>Item 1</span></li>
      <li><img src="2.jpg"><span>Item 2</span></li>
      <li><img src="3.jpg"><span>Item 3</span></li>
    </ul>
  </div>
  <div id="next">></div>
</div>

Load the main JavaScript file at the end of the document.

<script src="lite-carousel.min.js"></script>

The main JavaScript to active the carousel.

//For Left Click action:-
document.getElementById('prev').addEventListener("click",function(){
  var delay = 500;  //Animation slide time in milliseconds
  var ul_selector = '#lite-carousel ul';  //Pass the ul selector as input 
  var position = 'Left';
  CircularCarousel.shiftCarousel(position,ul_selector,delay);
});
//For Right Click action:-
document.getElementById('next').addEventListener("click",function(){
  var delay = 500;  //Animation slide time in milliseconds
  var ul_selector = '#lite-carousel ul';  //Pass the ul selector as input 
  var position = 'Right';
  CircularCarousel.shiftCarousel(position,ul_selector,delay);
});
