Getting started

See demo for further details.

1. Download and install the module via npm to your Nativescript project:

<pre> cd your_tns_project_path/ npm install nativescript-ng2-carousel --save </pre>

2. Add the CarouselDirective class to the declarations NgMoudle metadata:

<pre> @NgModule({ declarations: [AppComponent, CarouselDirective], bootstrap: [AppComponent], imports: [NativeScriptModule], schemas: [NO_ERRORS_SCHEMA] }) </pre>

3. To use the CarouselDirective, create a template that applies the directive as an attribute to a paragraph GridLayout element:

<pre> &lt;GridLayout [carousel]="images" carouselLabelOverlay="true" carouselSpeed="2000"&gt; &lt;/GridLayout&gt; </pre>

Add images from URL to your component:

<pre> @Component({ selector: "my-app", templateUrl: "app.component.html" }) export class AppComponent { protected images: Array<any> = []; constructor() { this.images = [ { title: 'Image 1', url: 'https://unsplash.it/400/300/?image=867' }, { title: 'Image 2', url: 'https://unsplash.it/400/300/?image=870' }, { title: 'Image 3', url: 'https://unsplash.it/400/300/?image=876' }, ]; } } </pre>

You can also add images from your assets folder or resources folder using file attribute instead of url attribute:

<pre> @Component({ selector: "my-app", templateUrl: "app.component.html" }) export class AppComponent { protected images: Array<any> = []; constructor() { this.images = [ { title: 'Image 1', url: 'https://unsplash.it/400/300/?image=867' }, { title: 'Image 2', file: '~/assets/sea-sunset.jpg' }, { title: 'Image 2', file: 'res://mountain' }, // Resource without extension { title: 'Image 3', url: 'https://unsplash.it/400/300/?image=876' }, ]; } } </pre>

4. CSS styling:

<pre> /** Slider image */ .slider-image { } /** Slider title format */ .slider-title { color: #fff; font-weight: bold; background-color: rgba(125, 125, 125); padding: 8; text-align: center; vertical-align: bottom; } /** Arrows */ .arrow { color: #ffffff; font-size: 32; vertical-align: middle; padding: 10; } /** Arrow left wrapper */ .arrow.arrow-left { } /** Arrow right */ .arrow.arrow-right { } </pre>
