Installation

There are 3 ways to install the Splide on your site.

  • NPM
  • Download
  • CDN

Only the NPM way is explained in the following steps. Visit this page for other methods.

  1. Get the latest version by NPM:
    $ npm install @splidejs/splide
  2. Link to the stylesheet:
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="node_modules/@splidejs/splide/dist/css/splide.min.css">
  3. Write HTML for building a slider:
    <div id="splide" class="splide">
      <div class="splide__track">
        <ul class="splide__list">
          <li class="splide__slide">Slide 01</li>
          <li class="splide__slide">Slide 02</li>
          <li class="splide__slide">Slide 03</li>
        </ul>
      </div>
    </div>
  4. Initialize Splide. The selector accepts an ID, a class name or an Element itself:
    import Splide from '@splidejs/splide';
    new Splide( '#splide' ).mount();
    Note that only the first element will be initialized even if using a class name.

See the Integration section for your Vue or React project.

Options

Changing Options

Pass an object to the second argument of the Splide constructor:

new Splide( '#splide', {
  type   : 'loop',
  perPage: 3,
} );

Or set a data-splide attribute to a root element in a JSON format:

<div id="splide" class="splide" data-splide='{"type":"loop","perPage":3}'>
</div>
