react-id-swiper ( Newest version 4.0.0 )

A library to use Swiper as a ReactJs component

What is Swiper?

Swiper - is the free and most modern mobile touch slider with hardware accelerated transitions and amazing native behavior.

It is intended to be used in mobile websites, mobile web apps, and mobile native/hybrid apps. Designed mostly for iOS, but also works great on latest Android, Windows Phone 8 and modern Desktop browsers.

Swiper is not compatible with all platforms, it is a modern touch slider which is focused only on modern apps/platforms to bring the best experience and simplicity. Swiper does work well with Gatsby.

import React from 'react';
import Swiper from 'react-id-swiper';
import 'swiper/css/swiper.css';

const SimpleSwiper = () => (
  <Swiper>
    <div>Slide 1</div>
    <div>Slide 2</div>
    <div>Slide 3</div>
    <div>Slide 4</div>
    <div>Slide 5</div>
  </Swiper>
)

export default SimpleSwiper;

Using params

import React from 'react';
import Swiper from 'react-id-swiper';

const SimpleSwiperWithParams = () => {
  const params = {
    pagination: {
      el: '.swiper-pagination',
      type: 'bullets',
      clickable: true
    },
    navigation: {
      nextEl: '.swiper-button-next',
      prevEl: '.swiper-button-prev'
    },
    spaceBetween: 30
  }

  return(
    <Swiper {...params}>
      <div>Slide 1</div>
      <div>Slide 2</div>
      <div>Slide 3</div>
      <div>Slide 4</div>
      <div>Slide 5</div>
    </Swiper>
  )
}

export default SimpleSwiperWithParams;

Manipulating swiper from outside swiper component

import React, { useRef } from 'react';
import Swiper from 'react-id-swiper';

const ManipulatingSwiper = () => {
  const ref = useRef(null);

  const ref = useRef(null);

  const goNext = () => {
    if (ref.current !== null && ref.current.swiper !== null) {
      ref.current.swiper.slideNext();
    }
  };

  const goPrev = () => {
    if (ref.current !== null && ref.current.swiper !== null) {
      ref.current.swiper.slidePrev();
    }
  };

  return (
    <div>
      <Swiper ref={ref}>
        <div>Slide 1</div>
        <div>Slide 2</div>
        <div>Slide 3</div>
        <div>Slide 4</div>
        <div>Slide 5</div>
      </Swiper>
      <button onClick={goPrev}>Prev</button>
      <button onClick={goNext}>Next</button>
    </div>
  );
};

export default ManipulatingSwiper;

Custom build Swiper

You can find the WORKING DEMO REPO HERE

import React from 'react';
import ReactIdSwiperCustom from 'react-id-swiper/lib/ReactIdSwiper.custom';
import { Swiper, Navigation, Pagination } from 'swiper/js/swiper.esm';

const CustomBuildSwiper = () => {
  const params = {
    // Provide Swiper class as props
    Swiper,
    // Add modules you need
    modules: [Navigation, Pagination],
    pagination: {
      el: '.swiper-pagination',
      type: 'bullets',
      clickable: true
    },
    navigation: {
      nextEl: '.swiper-button-next',
      prevEl: '.swiper-button-prev'
    },
    spaceBetween: 30
  }

  return(
    <ReactIdSwiperCustom {...params}>
      <div>Slide 1</div>
      <div>Slide 2</div>
      <div>Slide 3</div>
      <div>Slide 4</div>
      <div>Slide 5</div>
    </ReactIdSwiperCustom>
  )
}

export default CustomBuildSwiper;

NOTE:

• If you use Webpack & Babel you need to setup Babel loader config in webpack.config.js like below:

module: {
  rules: [
    {
      exclude: [/node_modules\/(?!(swiper|dom7)\/).*/, /\.test\.js(x)?$/],
      test: /\.js(x)?$/,
      use: [{ loader: 'babel-loader' }],
    }
  ],
}

Adding customized css classes

const params = {
  pagination: {
    el: '.swiper-pagination.customized-swiper-pagination',
  }, // Add your class name for pagination container
  navigation: {
    nextEl: '.swiper-button-next.customized-swiper-button-next', // Add your class name for next button
    prevEl: '.swiper-button-prev.customized-swiper-button-prev' // Add your class name for prev button
  },
  containerClass: 'customized-swiper-container' // Replace swiper-container with customized-swiper-container
}

Adding customized components

For customized rendering to work, you have to use same classname with params el.

const params = {
  navigation: {
    nextEl: '.swiper-button-next',
    prevEl: '.swiper-button-prev'
  },
  renderPrevButton: () => <button className="swiper-button-prev">Prev</button>,
  renderNextButton: () => <button className="swiper-button-next">Next</button>,
}

Workable slides

Each slide should be wrapped by HTML element

BAD CODE 👎

<Swiper {...params}>
  Slide content
</Swiper>

GOOD CODE 👍

<Swiper {...params}>
  <span>Slide content</span>
</Swiper>
