E.g. container: document.querySelector('.my-slider') *[top↑](#tiny-slider-2)* ## Responsive options The following options can be redefined in `responsive` field: `startIndex`, `items`, `slideBy`, `speed`, `autoHeight`, `fixedWidth`, `edgePadding`, `gutter`, `center`, `controls`, `controlsText`, `nav`, `autoplay`, `autoplayHoverPause`, `autoplayResetOnVisibility`, `autoplayText`, `autoplayTimeout`, `touch`, `mouseDrag`, `arrowKeys`, `disable` ```javascript ``` NOTE: + The breakpoints behave like `(min-width: breakpoint)` in CSS, so an undefined option will be inherited from previous small breakpoints. + `fixedWidth` can only be changed to other positive integers. It can't be changed to negative integer, 0 or other data type. *[top↑](#tiny-slider-2)* ## Methods The slider returns a slider object with some properties and methods once it's initialized: ```javascript { version: version, // tiny-slider version getInfo: info(), events: events, // Object goTo: goTo(), play: play(), pause: pause(), isOn: isOn, // Boolean updateSliderHeight: updateInnerWrapperHeight(), refresh: initSliderTransform(), destroy: destroy(), rebuild: rebuild() } ``` To get the slider information, you can either use the `getInfo()` method or subscribe to an Event. Both return an Object: ```javascript { container: container, // slider container slideItems: slideItems, // slides list navContainer: navContainer, // nav container navItems: navItems, // dots list controlsContainer: controlsContainer, // controls container hasControls: hasControls, // indicate if controls exist prevButton: prevButton, // previous button nextButton: nextButton, // next button items: items, // items on a page slideBy: slideBy // items slide by cloneCount: cloneCount, // cloned slide count slideCount: slideCount, // original slide count slideCountNew: slideCountNew, // total slide count after initialization index: index, // current index indexCached: indexCached, // previous index displayIndex: getCurrentSlide(), // display index starts from 1 navCurrent: navCurrent, // current dot index navCurrentCached: navCurrentCached, // previous dot index pages: pages, // visible nav indexes pagesCached: pagesCached, sheet: sheet, event: e || {}, // event object if available }; ``` #### getInfo Get slider information. ```javascript slider.getInfo(); document.querySelector('.next-button').onclick = function () { // get slider info var info = slider.getInfo(), indexPrev = info.indexCached, indexCurrent = info.index; // update style based on index info.slideItems[indexPrev].classList.remove('active'); info.slideItems[indexCurrent].classList.add('active'); }; ``` #### goTo Go to specific slide by number or keywords. ```javascript slider.goTo(3); slider.goTo('prev'); slider.goTo('next'); slider.goTo('first'); slider.goTo('last'); document.querySelector('.goto-button').onclick = function () { slider.goTo(3); }; ``` #### play Programmatically start slider autoplay when `autoplay: true`. ```javascript slider.play(); ``` #### pause Programmatically stop slider autoplay when `autoplay: true`. ```javascript slider.pause(); ``` #### updateSliderHeight Manually adjust slider height when `autoHeight` is `true`. ```javascript slider.updateSliderHeight(); ``` #### destroy Destroy the slider. ```javascript slider.destroy(); ``` #### rebuild Rebuild the slider after destroy. ```javascript slider = slider.rebuild(); // this method returns a new slider Object with the same options with the original slider ``` ## Custom Events Available events include: `indexChanged`, `transitionStart`, `transitionEnd`, `newBreakpointStart`, `newBreakpointEnd`, `touchStart`, `touchMove`, `touchEnd`, `dragStart`, `dragMove` and `dragEnd`. ```javascript var customizedFunction = function (info, eventName) { // direct access to info object console.log(info.event.type, info.container.id); } // bind function to event slider.events.on('transitionEnd', customizedFunction); // remove function binding slider.events.off('transitionEnd', customizedFunction); ``` *[top↑](#tiny-slider-2)* #### Fallback ```css .no-js .your-slider { overflow-x: auto; } .no-js .your-slider > div { float: none; } ``` ## Browser Support **Desktop:** Firefox 8+ ✓ Chrome 15+ ✓ (Should works on _Chrome 4-14_ as well, but I couldn't test it.) Safari 4+ ✓ Opera 12.1+ ✓ IE 8+ ✓ **Mobile:** Android Browser 4.2+ ✓ Chrome Mobile 63+ ✓ Firefox Mobile 28+ ✓ Maxthon 4+ ✓ ## Support
