## Why?
There are some great carousels (like slick) that do not have real React implementations. This library provides you with carousel that is not merely a wrapper for some jQuery solution, can be used as controlled or uncontrolled element (similar to [inputs](https://reactjs.org/docs/uncontrolled-components.html)), and has tons of useful features.
## Installation
### Basic
```
npm i @brainhubeu/react-carousel
```
### Typescript
```
npm i @types/brainhubeu__react-carousel -D
```
### CDN
If you don't use any bundler like Webpack, you can add these scripts to your HTML file, `body` section:
```html
```
Make sure to use a version ending with `-cdn`.
Then, you can use the following global variables:
- `BrainhubeuReactCarousel`
- `BrainhubeuReactCarouselDots`
- `BrainhubeuReactCarouselItem`
- `BrainhubeuReactCarouselWrapper`
### SSR
When using `@brainhubeu/react-carousel` with SSR (Server-side Rendering), we recommend [Next.js](https://github.com/zeit/next.js) as `@brainhubeu/react-carousel` currently doesn't work on the server side so it must be rendered on the client side (maybe we'll provide server-side working in the future).
```js
import dynamic from 'next/dynamic';
const { default: Carousel, Dots } = dynamic(
() => require('@brainhubeu/react-carousel'),
{ ssr: false },
);
```
## Usage
By default, the component does not need anything except children to render a simple carousel.
Remember that styles do not have to be imported every time you use carousel, you can do it once in an entry point of your bundle.
```javascript
import React, { Component } from 'react';
import Carousel from '@brainhubeu/react-carousel';
import '@brainhubeu/react-carousel/lib/style.css';
export default class MyCarousel extends Component {
render() {
return (
);
}
}
```

### Showing dots or thumbnails
There is a separate Dots component that can be used to fully control navigation dots or add thumbnails.
```javascript
import Carousel, { Dots } from '@brainhubeu/react-carousel';
import '@brainhubeu/react-carousel/lib/style.css';
// ...
constructor(props) {
super(props);
this.state = {
value: 0,
};
}
onChange = value => this.setState({ value });
render() {
return (
);
}
```

## Props
You can access a clickable demo with many examples and a [live code editor](https://brainhubeu.github.io/react-carousel/) by clicking on a Prop name.

### Setting up local development which means running the docs/demo locally:
- `git clone https://github.com/brainhubeu/react-carousel`
- `cd react-carousel`
- `yarn`
- `cd docs-www`
- `yarn`
- if you want to connect demo with the carousel source code, replace `__RC_ENV__` into `development` in https://github.com/brainhubeu/react-carousel/blob/master/docs-www/src/globalReferences.js#L2 and remove the `.babelrc` file in the root directory; otherwise, it will use the carousel code installed in `docs-www/node_modules`
- `yarn develop`
- open http://localhost:8000/
### Tests
Each test command should be run from the root directory.
#### Unit tests
```
yarn test:unit
```
#### E2E tests
```
yarn test:e2e
```
