Could you assist me in setting up a loop for this Slideshow that times out and then resets back to the beginning?

Currently, I am in the process of developing a slideshow using jQuery. My main struggle lies in creating a loop that will timeout the slideshow for a specific duration, say 10 minutes, before it reappears and resumes indefinitely. Unfortunately, my attempts to make this work have been unsuccessful.

$("#slideshow > div:gt(0)").hide();

setInterval(function(){
    $('#slideshow > div:first')
    .fadeOut(1000)
    .next()
    .fadeIn(1000)
    .end()
    .appendTo('#slideshow');
}, 3000);
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="assets/css/animations.css">
        <script src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.3.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<div id="slideshow">
            <div>
                <img src="https://i.imgur.com/rDI2jF4.png" alt="">
            </div>
            <div>
                <img src="https://i.imgur.com/DS5peX5.png" alt="">
            </div>
        </div>

Although I have successfully launched the slideshow, I am seeking guidance on where to find resources or information about setting a time limit for the slideshow to pause, and then resume running after the specified interval.

Answer №1

Are you looking to make the entire thing disappear and then reappear after a certain amount of time?
Have you tried using setTimeout for this?

.hidden { display: none; }

function myInterval(showInterval , hideInterval) {
    var elem = document.getElementById('slideshow');
    var targetInterval;

    if ((" " + elem.className + " " ).indexOf( " " + hidden + " " ) > -1) {
        elem.classList.remove('hidden');
        targetInterval = showInterval;
    } else {
        elem.classList.add('hidden');
        targetInterval = hideInterval;
    }
    setTimeout(function(){ myInterval(showInterval , hideInterval) }, targetInterval);
};

myInterval(showInterval , hideInterval);
// showInterval = how long the animation will be visible
// hideInterval = how long the animation will be hidden

// this will hide it at the start, and show it after the 'hide' interval
// to make it show from the start, add the 'hidden' class on the Element from the start

Alternatively, you could opt for setInterval if you want consistent periods of showing and hiding:

setInterval(function(){
    document.getElementById('slideshow').classList.toggle('hidden');
}, x); // x is the time for how long the animation will be visible/hidden
