Features

• NgSimpleSlideshow has no dependencies besides angular. All animations are 100% CSS, so @angular/animations is not needed.
• Compiled and packaged in the Angular Package Format v4.0 with ng-packagr.
• Compiled to es5, so this package is compatible with Angular Universal.
• AOT ready
• Responsive and captures swipes from phones and tablets
• Lazy load option to help with initial pageload speed

Installation

Easy, just npm install:

npm i -S ng-simple-slideshow

Next, import the module:

import {SlideshowModule} from 'ng-simple-slideshow';

@NgModule({
  imports: [
    SlideshowModule,
    ...
  ],
  declarations: [
    ...
  ],
  exports: [
    ...
  ]
})
...

Usage

The simplest use case is the following:

<slideshow [imageUrls]="imageUrlArray"></slideshow>

A more complex example of how I use this in one of my own projects (full list of options in next section):

<slideshow [height]="height"
           [minHeight]="'525px'"
           [autoPlay]="true"
           [showArrows]="false"
           [imageUrls]="imageSources"
           [lazyLoad]="imageSources?.length > 1"
           [autoPlayWaitForLazyLoad]="true">
</slideshow>

API

Take control of the slideshow if you want! Simply create a reference to your slideshow like so:

<slideshow #slideshow [imageUrls]="imageUrlArray"></slideshow>

and in your component.ts reference it as a ViewChild:

@ViewChild() slideshow: any;

Now you can access the public members such as the goToSlide and onSlide:

this.slideshow.goToSlide(3); // go to slide index 3 (i.e. imageUrls[3])

this.slideshow.onSlide(1); // next slide

this.slideshow.onSlide(-1); // previous slide
