Table of Contents

Basic Usage

This is the simplest version of the carousel using the default values for the above parameters.

Next card peeks into view

<vueml-carousel :per-page="3">
  <vueml-slide>Content</vueml-slide>
  <vueml-slide>Content</vueml-slide>
  <vueml-slide>Content</vueml-slide>
</vueml-carousel>

Add a class for using specific styles.

<vueml-carousel :class="yourclassname">
  <vueml-slide>Content</vueml-slide>
  <vueml-slide>Content</vueml-slide>
  <vueml-slide>Content</vueml-slide>
</vueml-carousel>

Card Peek

Card peek is achieved by using a decimal point in the per-page or per-page-custom attributes.

Next card peeks into view

<vueml-carousel :per-page="3.4">
  <vueml-slide>Content</vueml-slide>
  <vueml-slide>Content</vueml-slide>
  <vueml-slide>Content</vueml-slide>
</vueml-carousel>

Per-page-custom example:

<vueml-carousel :per-page-custom="[[768,3.4],[1024,4.4]]">
  <vueml-slide>Content</vueml-slide>
  <vueml-slide>Content</vueml-slide>
  <vueml-slide>Content</vueml-slide>
</vueml-carousel>

Multi-Row Slides

Adding the slide-rows attribute will signal the carousel to re-organize the slides into multiple rows. Each slide is placed in order based on the number of rows.

For example, if the slide-rows attribute is set to "2", the first two slides given will be orderd top/bottom of the new first slide as seen below:

Next card peeks into view

<vueml-carousel :slide-rows="2" :navigation-enabled="true">
  <vueml-slide>Content</vueml-slide>
  <vueml-slide>Content</vueml-slide>
  <vueml-slide>Content</vueml-slide>
</vueml-carousel>

Thumbnail Navigation

When activated, the thumbnail navigation sets the main carousel to 1 slide per page. It then adds the slides to a new carousel directly below the main carousel. Both carousels work in tandem. The main carousel does not initialize the navigation. Navigation is enabled on the thumbnail carousel. Navigating, swiping or clicking items in the thumbnail carousel will update the main carousel.

Thumbnail navigation

<vueml-carousel :thumb-nav-enabled="true" :thumb-nav-per-page="4">
  <vueml-slide>Content</vueml-slide>
  <vueml-slide>Content</vueml-slide>
  <vueml-slide>Content</vueml-slide>
</vueml-carousel>

You will need to update thumbnail slide content css separately from your main slide content. This is especially important if you are using special content such as videos or a mixture of images and text.

.VueMLCarousel-ThumbNav {

  .VueMLCarousel-ThumbNav-wrapper {

    .VueMLCarousel-ThumbNav-inner {

      .VueMLCarousel-slide {

      }
    }
  }
}
