Initialize Swiper

Now, when we have Swiper's HTML, we need to initialize it using the following function:

new Swiper(swiperContainer, parameters)- initialize swiper with options

  • swiperContainer - HTMLElement or string (with CSS Selector) of swiper container HTML element. Required.
  • parameters - object - object with Swiper parameters. Optional.
  • Method returns initialized Swiper instance

For example:

const swiper = new Swiper('.swiper', {
  speed: 400,
  spaceBetween: 100,
});

After you initialize Swiper it is possible to access to Swiper's instance on its HTMLElement. It is swiper property of Swiper's HTML container element:

const swiper = document.querySelector('.swiper').swiper;

// Now you can use all slider methods like
swiper.slideNext();

Parameters

Let's look on list of all available parameters:

NameTypeDefaultDescription
a11yany

Object with a11y parameters or boolean true to enable with default settings.

const swiper = new Swiper('.swiper', {
  a11y: {
    prevSlideMessage: 'Previous slide',
    nextSlideMessage: 'Next slide',
  },
});
allowSlideNextbooleantrue

Set to false to disable swiping to next slide direction (to right or bottom)

allowSlidePrevbooleantrue

Set to false to disable swiping to previous slide direction (to left or top)

allowTouchMovebooleantrue

If false, then the only way to switch the slide is use of external API functions like slidePrev or slideNext

autoHeightbooleanfalse

Set to true and slider wrapper will adapt its height to the height of the currently active slide

autoplayany

Object with autoplay parameters or boolean true to enable with default settings

const swiper = new Swiper('.swiper', {
 autoplay: {
   delay: 5000,
 },
});
breakpointsobject

Allows to set different parameter for different responsive breakpoints (screen sizes). Not all parameters can be changed in breakpoints, only those which do not require different layout and logic, like slidesPerView, slidesPerGroup, spaceBetween, grid.rows. Such parameters like loop and effect won't work

const swiper = new Swiper('.swiper', {
  // Default parameters
  slidesPerView: 1,
  spaceBetween: 10,
  // Responsive breakpoints
  breakpoints: {
    // when window width is >= 320px
    320: {
      slidesPerView: 2,
      spaceBetween: 20
    },
    // when window width is >= 480px
    480: {
      slidesPerView: 3,
      spaceBetween: 30
    },
    // when window width is >= 640px
    640: {
      slidesPerView: 4,
      spaceBetween: 40
    }
  }
})
const swiper = new Swiper('.swiper', {
  slidesPerView: 1,
  spaceBetween: 10,
  // using "ratio" endpoints
  breakpoints: {
    '@0.75': {
      slidesPerView: 2,
      spaceBetween: 20,
    },
    '@1.00': {
      slidesPerView: 3,
      spaceBetween: 40,
    },
    '@1.50': {
      slidesPerView: 4,
      spaceBetween: 50,
    },
  }
});
breakpointsBasestring'window'

Base for breakpoints (beta). Can be window or container. If set to window (by default) then breakpoint keys mean window width. If set to container then breakpoint keys treated as swiper container width

cardsEffectany

Object with Cards-effect parameters

const swiper = new Swiper('.swiper', {
  effect: 'cards',
  cardsEffect: {
    // ...
  },
});
centerInsufficientSlidesbooleanfalse

When enabled it center slides if the amount of slides less than slidesPerView. Not intended to be used loop mode and grid.rows

centeredSlidesbooleanfalse

If true, then active slide will be centered, not always on the left side.

centeredSlidesBoundsbooleanfalse

If true, then active slide will be centered without adding gaps at the beginning and end of slider. Required centeredSlides: true. Not intended to be used with loop or pagination

containerModifierClassstring'swiper-'

The beginning of the modifier CSS class that can be added to swiper container depending on different parameters

controllerany

Object with controller parameters or boolean true to enable with default settings

const swiper = new Swiper('.swiper', {
  controller: {
    inverse: true,
  },
});
coverflowEffectany

Object with Coverflow-effect parameters.

const swiper = new Swiper('.swiper', {
  effect: 'coverflow',
  coverflowEffect: {
    rotate: 30,
    slideShadows: false,
  },
});
createElementsbooleanfalse

When enabled Swiper will automatically wrap slides with swiper-wrapper element, and will create required elements for navigation, pagination and scrollbar they are enabled (with their respective params object or with boolean true))

creativeEffectany

Object with Creative-effect parameters

const swiper = new Swiper('.swiper', {
  effect: 'creative',
  creativeEffect: {
    prev: {
      // will set `translateZ(-400px)` on previous slides
      translate: [0, 0, -400],
    },
    next: {
      // will set `translateX(100%)` on next slides
      translate: ['100%', 0, 0],
    },
  },
});
cssModebooleanfalse

When enabled it will use modern CSS Scroll Snap API. It doesn't support all of Swiper's features, but potentially should bring a much better performance in simple configurations.

This is what is not supported when it is enabled:

  • Cube effect
  • speed parameter may not have no effect
  • All transition start/end related events (use slideChange instead)
  • slidesPerGroup has limited support
  • simulateTouch doesn't have effect and "dragging" with mouse doesn't work
  • resistance doesn't have any effect
  • allowSlidePrev/Next
  • swipeHandler

In case if you use it with other effects, especially 3D effects, it is required to wrap slide's content with <div className="swiper-slide-transform"> element. And if you use any custom styles on slides (like background colors, border radius, border, etc.), they should be set on swiper-slide-transform element instead.

<div class="swiper">
  <div class="swiper-wrapper">
    <div class="swiper-slide">
      <!-- wrap slide content with transform element -->
      <div class="swiper-slide-transform">
        ... slide content ...
      </div>
    </div>
    ...

edgeSwipeDetectionstring | booleanfalse

Enable to release Swiper events for swipe-back work in app. If set to 'prevent' then it will prevent system swipe-back navigation instead. This feature works only with "touch" events (and not pointer events), so it will work on iOS/Android devices and won't work on Windows devices with pointer (touch) events.

edgeSwipeThresholdnumber20

Area (in px) from left edge of the screen to release touch events for swipe-back in app

effectstring'slide'

Transition effect. Can be 'slide', 'fade', 'cube', 'coverflow', 'flip' or 'creative'

    enabled: true,
    sticky: true,
  },
});
grabCursorbooleanfalse

This option may a little improve desktop usability. If true, user will see the "grab" cursor when hover on Swiper

const swiper = new Swiper('.swiper', {
  grid: {
    rows: 2,
  },
});

Events

Swiper comes with a bunch of useful events you can listen. Events can be assigned in two ways:

  1. Using on parameter on swiper initialization:

    const swiper = new Swiper('.swiper', {
      // ...
      on: {
        init: function () {
          console.log('swiper initialized');
        },
      },
    });
    
  2. Using on method after swiper initialization.

    const swiper = new Swiper('.swiper', {
      // ...
    });
    swiper.on('slideChange', function () {
      console.log('slide changed');
    });

Manipulation

Manipulation module adds useful Swiper methods to manipulate slides. It makes sense to use it only with Swiper Core version, not intended to be uses with Swiper React or Vue.

Manipulation Methods

Methods
swiper.addSlide(index, slides)

Add new slides to the required index. slides could be HTMLElement or HTML string with new slide or array with such slides, for example:

addSlide(1, '<div class="swiper-slide">Slide 10"</div>')

addSlide(1, [
 '<div class="swiper-slide">Slide 10"</div>',
 '<div class="swiper-slide">Slide 11"</div>'
]);
swiper.appendSlide(slides)

Add new slides to the end. slides could be HTMLElement or HTML string with new slide or array with such slides, for example:

appendSlide('<div class="swiper-slide">Slide 10"</div>')

appendSlide([
 '<div class="swiper-slide">Slide 10"</div>',
 '<div class="swiper-slide">Slide 11"</div>'
]);
swiper.prependSlide(slides)

Add new slides to the beginning. slides could be HTMLElement or HTML string with new slide or array with such slides, for example:

prependSlide('<div class="swiper-slide">Slide 0"</div>')

prependSlide([
 '<div class="swiper-slide">Slide 1"</div>',
 '<div class="swiper-slide">Slide 2"</div>'
]);
swiper.removeAllSlides()

Remove all slides

swiper.removeSlide(slideIndex)

Remove selected slides. slideIndex could be a number with slide index to remove or array with indexes.

removeSlide(0); // remove first slide
removeSlide([0, 1]); // remove first and second slides
removeAllSlides();    // Remove all slides

Parallax

Swiper supports parallax transition effects for swiper/slides nested elements. There are two types of parallax elements supported:

  • Direct child elements of swiper. Parallax effect for such elements will depend on total slider progress. Useful for parallax backgrounds
  • Slides child elements. Parallax effect for such elements will depend on slide progress

To enable parallax effects you need to init Swiper with passed parallax:true parameter and add one of the following (or mix) attributes to required elements:

  • data-swiper-parallax - enable transform-translate parallax transition. This attribute may accept:
    • number - value in px (as for title, subtitle in example above) to move element depending on progress. In this case such element will be moved on ± this value in px depending on slide position (next or previous)
    • percentage - (as for "parallax-bg") to move element depending on progress and on its size. In this case such element will be moved on ± this percentage of its size (width in horizontal direction, and height in vertical direction) depending on slide position (next or previous). So if element has 400px width and you specified data-swiper-parallax="50%" then it will be moved on ± 200px
  • data-swiper-parallax-x - same but for x-axis direction
  • data-swiper-parallax-y - same but for y-axis direction
  • data-swiper-parallax-scale - scale ratio of the parallax element when it is in "inactive" (not on active slide) state
  • data-swiper-parallax-opacity - opacity of the parallax element when it is in "inactive" (not on active slide) state
  • data-swiper-parallax-duration - custom transition duration for parallax elements
<div class="swiper">
  <!-- Parallax background element -->
  <div
    class="parallax-bg"
    style="background-image:url(path/to/image.jpg)"
    data-swiper-parallax="-23%"
  ></div>
  <div class="swiper-wrapper">
    <div class="swiper-slide">
      <!-- Each slide has parallax title -->
      <div class="title" data-swiper-parallax="-100">Slide 1</div>
      <!-- Parallax subtitle -->
      <div class="subtitle" data-swiper-parallax="-200">Subtitle</div>
      <!-- And parallax text with custom transition duration -->
      <div
        class="text"
        data-swiper-parallax="-300"

      </div>
      <!-- Opacity parallax -->
      <div data-swiper-parallax-opacity="0.5">I will change opacity</div>
      <!-- Scale parallax -->
      <div data-swiper-parallax-scale="0.15">I will change scale</div>
    </div>
    ...
  </div>
</div>

Parallax Parameters

NameTypeDefaultDescription
enabledbooleanfalse

Enable, if you want to use "parallaxed" elements inside of slider

Lazy Loading

Since version 9 Swiper doesn't have a specific lazy loading API, as it relies on native browser lazy loading feature. To use lazy loading, we just need to set loading="lazy" on images and add preloader element:

<div class="swiper">
  <div class="swiper-wrapper">
    <!-- Lazy image -->
    <div class="swiper-slide">
      <img src="path/to/picture-1.jpg" loading="lazy" />
      <div class="swiper-lazy-preloader"></div>
    </div>

    <!-- Lazy image with srcset -->
    <div class="swiper-slide">
      <img
        src="path/to/logo-small.png"
        srcset="path/to/logo-large.png 2x"
        loading="lazy"
      />
      <div class="swiper-lazy-preloader"></div>
    </div>
  </div>
</div>

As you see:

  • Lazy image must have loading="lazy" attribute
  • Add animated preloader spinner to slide which will be removed automatically after image loaded:
<div class="swiper-lazy-preloader"></div>

Or white one for dark layout:

<div class="swiper-lazy-preloader swiper-lazy-preloader-white"></div>

Zoom

Swiper supports zoom images functionality (similar to what you see on iOS when browsing single photo) where you can zoom-in image by pinch gesture and or by zoom-in/out by double tap on it. In this case, additional layout is required:

<div class="swiper">
  <div class="swiper-wrapper">
    <div class="swiper-slide">
      <div class="swiper-zoom-container">
        <img src="path/to/image1.jpg" />
      </div>
    </div>
    <div class="swiper-slide">
      <div class="swiper-zoom-container">
        <img src="path/to/image2.jpg" />
      </div>
    </div>
    <div class="swiper-slide">Plain slide with text</div>
    <div class="swiper-slide">
      <!-- Override maxRatio parameter -->
      <div class="swiper-zoom-container" data-swiper-zoom="5">
        <img src="path/to/image1.jpg" />
      </div>
    </div>
  </div>
</div>
  • All "zoomable" images should be wrapped with the div with swiper-zoom-container class.
  • By default it expects to zoom one of the img, picture or canvas element. If you want to make zoom on some other custom element, then just add swiper-zoom-target class to this element. For example:
    <div class="swiper">
      <div class="swiper-wrapper">
        <div class="swiper-slide">
          <div class="swiper-zoom-container">
            <!-- custom zoomable element -->
            <div
              class="swiper-zoom-target"
              style="background-image: url(...)"
            ></div>
          </div>
        </div>
      </div>
    </div>
    
  • You can override maxRatio parameter for specific slides by using data-swiper-zoom attribute on zoom container.

Virtual Slides Dom

Since version 9, Swiper virtual slides can work with slides originally rendered in DOM. On initialize it will remove them from DOM, cache and then re-use the ones which are required:

<div class="swiper">
  <div class="swiper-wrapper">
    <div class="swiper-slide">Slide 1</div>
    <div class="swiper-slide">Slide 2</div>
    ...
    <div class="swiper-slide">Slide 100</div>
  </div>
</div>
<script>
  const swiper = new Swiper('.swiper', {
    virtual: {
      enabled: true,
    },
  });
</script>

Hash Navigation

Hash navigation is intended to have a link to specific slide that allows to load page with specific slide opened.

To make it work, you need to enable it by passing hashNavigation:true parameter and adding slides hashes in data-hash attribute:

<div class="swiper">
  <div class="swiper-wrapper">
    <div class="swiper-slide" data-hash="slide1">Slide 1</div>
    <div class="swiper-slide" data-hash="slide2">Slide 2</div>
    <div class="swiper-slide" data-hash="slide3">Slide 3</div>
    <div class="swiper-slide" data-hash="slide4">Slide 4</div>
    <div class="swiper-slide" data-hash="slide5">Slide 5</div>
    ...
  </div>
</div>
const swiper = new Swiper('.swiper', {
  //enable hash navigation
  hashNavigation: true,
});

Custom Build

You have two options of making custom version of Swiper.

Using JS Modules

If you use bundler with JS modules support in your project you can import only the modules you need:

// Import Swiper and modules
import Swiper from 'swiper';
import { Navigation, Pagination, Scrollbar } from 'swiper/modules';

// Now you can use Swiper
const swiper = new Swiper('.swiper', {
  // Install modules
  modules: [Navigation, Pagination, Scrollbar],
  speed: 500,
  navigation: {
    nextEl: '.swiper-button-next',
    prevEl: '.swiper-button-prev',
  },
  // ...
});

The following modules are exported:

  • Virtual - Virtual Slides module
  • Keyboard - Keyboard Control module
  • Mousewheel - Mousewheel Control module
  • Navigation - Navigation module
  • Pagination - Pagination module
  • Scrollbar - Scrollbar module
  • Parallax - Parallax module
  • FreeMode - Free Mode module
  • Grid - Grid module
  • Manipulation - Slides manipulation module (only for Core version)
  • Zoom - Zoom module
  • Controller - Controller module
  • A11y - Accessibility module
  • History - History Navigation module
  • HashNavigation - Hash Navigation module
  • Autoplay - Autoplay module
  • EffectFade - Fade Effect module
  • EffectCube - Cube Effect module
  • EffectFlip - Flip Effect module
  • EffectCoverflow - Coverflow Effect module
  • EffectCards - Cards Effect module
  • EffectCreative - Creative Effect module
  • Thumbs - Thumbs module

Using Build Script

Swiper comes with gulp builder that allows to build custom library version where you may include only required modules. We need the following:

  1. Download and unzip Swiper GitHub repository to local folder

  2. Install Node.js (if not installed)

  3. Now, we need to install required dependencies. Go to the folder with downloaded and unzipped Swiper repository and execute in terminal:

    $ npm install
    
  4. Open scripts/build-config.js file:

    module.exports = {
      // remove modules you don't need
      modules: [
        'virtual',
        'keyboard',
        'mousewheel',
        'navigation',
        'pagination',
        'scrollbar',
        'parallax',
        'zoom',
        'controller',
        'a11y',
        'history',
        'hash-navigation',
        'autoplay',
        'thumbs',
        'free-mode',
        'grid',
        'manipulation',
        'effect-fade',
        'effect-cube',
        'effect-flip',
        'effect-coverflow',
        'effect-creative',
        'effect-cards',
      ],
    };
    
  5. Now, we are ready to build custom version of Swiper:

    $ npm run build:prod
    
  6. That is all. Generated CSS and JS files and their minified versions will be available in dist/ folder.

TypeScript Definitions

Swiper is fully typed, it exports Swiper and SwiperOptions types:

// main.ts
import Swiper from 'swiper';
import { SwiperOptions } from 'swiper/types';

const swiperParams: SwiperOptions = {
  slidesPerView: 3,
  spaceBetween: 50,
};

const swiper = new Swiper('.swiper', swiperParams);

You can also check auto generated TypeScript definitions explorer for all the types, options, properties and methods.
