Usage

Import ReactCardCarousel and use it as a wrapper around card elements. Example:

import React, { Component } from 'react';
import ReactCardCarousel from 'react-card-carousel';

class MyCarousel extends Component {

  static get CARD_STYLE() {
    return {
      height: '200px',
      width: '200px',
      paddingTop: '80px',
      textAlign: 'center',
      background: '#52C0F5',
      color: '#FFF',
      fontSize: '12px',
      textTransform: 'uppercase',
      borderRadius: '10px',
    };
  }

  render() {
    return (
      <ReactCardCarousel autoplay={ true } autoplay_speed={ 2500 }>
        <div style={ MyCarousel.CARD_STYLE }>
          First Card
        </div>
        <div style={ MyCarousel.CARD_STYLE }>
          Second Card
        </div>
        <div style={ MyCarousel.CARD_STYLE }>
          Third Card
        </div>
        <div style={ MyCarousel.CARD_STYLE }>
          Fourth Card
        </div>
        <div style={ MyCarousel.CARD_STYLE }>
          Fifth Card
        </div>
      </ReactCardCarousel>
    );
  }
}

export default MyCarousel;

Props

• alignment (String, oneOf[horizontal, vertical], default: horizontal): Card alignment display.
• spread (String, oneOf[narrow, medium, wide], default: medium): Spread between cards.
• initial_index (Number, default: 0): Which card to display as center card initially.
• disable_keydown (Boolean, default: false): Disables left and right arrow key scroll.
• disable_box_shadow (Boolean, default: false): Disables box shadow around center card.
• disable_fade_in (Boolean, default: false): Disables initial animation on component render.
• autoplay (Boolean, default: false)
• autoplay_speed (Number, default: 5000): Number in milliseconds.

Methods

To use any instance methods, you must first create a ref to the ReactCardCarousel instance. Learn more about React refs in the official documentation.

<ReactCardCarousel ref={ Carousel => this.Carousel = Carousel }>

The methods can be accessed on the this.Carousel instance:

• this.Carousel.next(): Sets next card as center card.
• this.Carousel.prev(): Sets previous card as center card.
• this.Carousel.goTo(index): Sets the specified number index as center card.
• this.Carousel.getCurrentIndex(): Gets current card index.

NOTE: If you choose to create the ref using React.createRef() instead of using a callback ref, the methods can be accessed on the this.Carousel.current instance.
