Scooch
A mobile-first content and image carousel.
Demo
You can find a simple demo on the Documentation page. More demos can be found inside the examples
folder in the repo. Run grunt examples
to see them in Chrome (mobile device emulation is recommended).
Requirements
Zepto Support
Scooch supports Zepto up until v0.6.1 but is not actively developed for it. You should be able to use Scooch directly with Zepto. While we don't actively support Zepto for Scooch, we welcome any and all issues and PRs to help us make it work.
Installation
Scooch can be installed using NPM:
npm install scooch

Classes
By default, items are center aligned and their width is determined by their content width and/or any styling that restricts their width.
To change the styling of the items, add the following classes to the viewport:
Class | Description |
---|---|
.m-fluid |
Causes the width of items to resize to match the viewport width. |
.m-center |
Causes the items to be center aligned, not left aligned (the default). |
Methods
.scooch(options)
Constructs the carousel with specific options. Defaults are shown here.
$('.m-scooch').scooch({
dragRadius: 10,
moveRadius: 20,
animate: true,
autoHideArrows: false,
rightToLeft: false,
infinite: false,
autoplay: false,
classPrefix: "m-",
classNames: {
outer: "scooch",
inner: "scooch-inner",
item: "item",
center: "center",
touch: "has-touch",
dragging: "dragging",
active: "active",
inactive: "inactive",
fluid: "fluid"
}
});
Options
The options
object passed to Scooch during construction can configure its behaviour in the following ways:
Option | Behaviour |
---|---|
dragRadius | The size of the 'deadspace' when dragging before Scooch begins following cursor/finger |
moveRadius | The size of the 'deadspace' that must be exceeded before Scooch will move between items |
animate | Whether or not Scooch should animate the move between items |
autoHideArrows | Whether or not Scooch should apply the inactive class to its previous and next controls (indicated by [data-m-slide=prev] and [data-m-slide=next] ) when at its "bounds" |
rightToLeft | Whether or not Scooch should treat "next" as left and "previous" as right |
infinite | Whether or not Scooch should loop on itself |
autoplay: {interval: Number, cancelOnInteraction: Boolean} | Autoplay through the Scooch, advancing items every interval milliseconds. cancelOnInteraction sets whether or not the autoplay terminates once a user interacts with it. Autoplaying Scooches will always appear to loop as if they are infinite until user interaction, at which point they resume the behaviour specified by their options |
classPrefix | What all Scooch's classes will be prefixed by |
classNames | What Scooch should reference as its class names |
.scooch('next')
Moves the carousel one item to the right (or left if rightToLeft
option is enabled).
$('.m-scooch').scooch('next');
.scooch('prev')
Moves the carousel one item to the left (or right if rightToLeft
option is enabled).
$('.m-scooch').scooch('prev');
.scooch('move', x)
Moves the carousel to a index x
(1-based).
$('.m-scooch').scooch('move', 1);
.scooch('unbind')
Removes event handlers bound on the carousel.
$('.m-scooch').scooch('unbind');
.scooch('bind')
Binds the event handlers on the carousel.
$('.m-scooch').scooch('bind');
.scooch('refresh')
Re-initialize carousel after new slides were added or removed
$('.m-scooch').scooch('refresh');
.scooch('destroy')
Removes the carousel and its event handlers from the DOM.
$('.m-scooch').scooch('destroy');
Events
The viewport emits the following events:
Name | Arguments | Description |
---|---|---|
beforeSlide | previousIndex, newIndex | Fired before the carousel moves. |
afterSlide | previousIndex, newIndex | Fired after the carousel begins moving. |
