I recently watched a tutorial on YouTube about creating a slider using jQuery (check it out here).
The tutorial didn't include Previous and Next Buttons.
I'm curious how to add Previous and Next Buttons to the Jquery Slider.
Below is the code snippet that was shared:
'use strict';
$(function() {
//slider settings
var width = 720;
var animationSpeed = 1000;
var pause = 3000;
var currentSlide = 1;
//cache DOM elements
var $slider = $('#slider');
var $slideContainer = $('.slides', $slider);
var $slides = $('.slide', $slider);
var interval;
function startSlider() {
interval = setInterval(function() {
$slideContainer.animate({'margin-left': '-='+width}, animationSpeed, function() {
if (++currentSlide === $slides.length) {
currentSlide = 1;
$slideContainer.css('margin-left', 0);
}
});
}, pause);
}
function pauseSlider() {
clearInterval(interval);
}
$slideContainer
.on('mouseenter', pauseSlider)
.on('mouseleave', startSlider);
startSlider();
});#slider {
width: 720px;
height: 400px;
overflow: hidden;
}
#slider .slides {
display: block;
width: 6000px;
height: 400px;
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
}
#slider .slide {
float: left;
list-style-type: none;
width: 720px;
height: 400px;
}
/* additional css for slides */
.slide1 {background: red;}
.slide2 {background: blue;}
.slide3 {background: green;}
.slide4 {background: purple;}
.slide5 {background: pink;}<div class="container">
<div class="header">
<h1 class="text-muted">jQuery Basic Slider</h1>
</div>
<div id="slider">
<ul class="slides">
<li class="slide slide1">slide1</li>
<li class="slide slide2">slide2</li>
<li class="slide slide3">slide3</li>
<li class="slide slide4">slide4</li>
<li class="slide slide5">slide5</li>
<li class="slide slide1">slide1</li>
</ul>
</div>
</div>Thank you
Thank you
