zepto.revolver

A do-it-all carousel that’s simple, flexible and lightweight.

How to use it

Download the source files from the build directory, or use Bower.

$ bower install zepto.revolver

Then you’re good to go. You can create a new Revolver carousel on any element. For example:

$(".my-carousel").revolver(options);

Tell me more

zepto.revolver is responsive and you can define custom breakpoints. It responds to touch and can be dragged this way and that. It’s set up with sane defaults, but of course, these can be overriden. It fires events when things happen and exposes public methods to put you in control. It also uses hardware acceleration for transitions (if they’re available), making it a great choice for mobile or devices with limited performance resources.

Revolver is compatible with jQuery and Zepto, but requires Zepto’s data module for compatability.

Available options

var options = {
  // The transition speed if the user drags the panels
  draggingMS: 300,

  // The transition speed if the user selects a pagination item
  controlsMS: 800,

  // False if no autoplay, or a duration in milliseconds
  autoplayMS: 5000,

  returnToStart: true
  returnToStartMS: 1000,

  // Whether or not hovering will cause the autoplayMS to pause
  stopOnHover: true,

  // Should we have previous and next buttons, and what should they say?
  navigation: ["←", "→"],

  // Should we have pagination, and should it include numbers in the html?
  pagination: true,
