react-photostory

A lightweight carousel made in React and optimized for mobile.

Demo is available here. Make sure devtools is open and mobile emulation is selected as this library currently only supports touch events.

Features

1. lazy-loading by default
2. AutoPlay
3. Drag and swipe

Installation

This library works with react-lazy-card (don't worry. they are very light even when used together . react-lazy-card may serve other purposes in the app so we separated it).

npm install --save react-photostory react-lazy-card

Basic Usage

JSX:

import Swipe from 'react-photostory';
import LazyCard from 'react-lazy-card';
 
<Swipe className="photostory">
    <LazyCard image="a.jpg" defaultImage="default1.jpg">Text 1</LazyCard>
    <LazyCard image="b.jpg" defaultimage="default2.jpg">Text 2</LazyCard>
</Swipe>

CSS

@import "react-photostory/dist/swipe"

Development

git clone https://github.com/housinghq/react-photostory
cd react-photostory
npm install
npm run storybook

Make sure you develop in emulation mode (open devtools and select mobile emulation). Currently this only supports touch events.

Open an issue before opening a PR. This package is optimised for mobile so its hard to include all the features.
