🔬️ Help make IvyCarousel better by answering a few questions.

Installation

Install the npm package.

  npm i angular-responsive-carousel

Import module:

  import {IvyCarouselModule} from 'angular-responsive-carousel';

  @NgModule({
      imports: [IvyCarouselModule]
  })

Usage

Put the contents of your cells in containers with the carousel-cell class.

<carousel>
    <div class="carousel-cell">
        <img src="path_to_image">
    </div>
    <div class="carousel-cell">
        ...
</carousel>

Or prepare an image array for the carousel. If necessary, specify in the settings the sizes of the cells and the carousel container. And also select the method of arranging images inside the cells using the objectFit property.

<carousel
    [images]="images">
</carousel>

images = [
    {path: 'PATH_TO_IMAGE'},
    ...
]

Lazy loading

To use lazy loading, pass the carousel an array of images, as shown in the example above. Images will be uploaded only as needed, this will save you traffic. Using the overflowCellsLimit property, you can specify the number of images that will be loaded outside the visible area, which will allow the images to be loaded before they are displayed.
