How To Create An Animated Image Carousel With CSS/JavaScript

[@Free_Bird78]

the fact that you literally don't stop to explain for a bit amaze me. how can you keep explaining without hesitating

[@go_sh4627]

🤣😂🤣

[@bader6409]

It's crazy how quickly you're not only able to describe but quickly code what's needed to be coded (obviously you may have practiced this before) but you teach well, thanks for this.

[@tharunrajoptimus5229]

You never fail to amaze me. I was watching random stuff and saw this coming. Watched this and I'm sure I won't regret wasting the entire day. Nice video mate.

hi just found your channel, and just wanted to put it here i've been a front end engineer for the past 2-3 years and i found many little things that i newly learn from the way you write the animation Its amazing ! keep it up

[@tumbler9428]

Wow... the javascript part would have taken me HOURS. So elegant.

[@osamapervezriar387]

I give Kyle's videos a thumbs up right after the window opens, and then i watch the video after. quality work bro. Thanks

[@chinmayghule8272]

I spent the whole evening creating a carousel that isn't even accessible, but he did it so easily. The part I particularly found difficult was to keep the carousel responsive and make sure it looks good on all sizes.

[@dhanlitozi184]

you make something that took me a whole day to make and doing it while talking. that's awesome.

[@flyinoctopus]

Another brilliant tutorial, Kyle. I really appreciate you! With your help, I feel like I can truly become a web developer :)

[@kakakakaka7955]

funny how you've mentioned that the CSS might have been difficult here, yet the only part that I struggled to fully understand was the JS script :D Thanks, very informative video!

[@cocoyana]

这老哥写得可以，最近在准备亚麻前端的面试，image carousel是常考mini app。如果你也再找类似的solution的话，这个老哥推荐，不要找2021年以前的video了，并不是说BEM写法不好，太繁琐了，这个老哥的coding style很棒，逻辑也很清楚，说得也通俗简单，我没开字幕都全部跟下来了。 This bro did a pretty fantastic job! I have been preparing for the amazon FTE interview recently, and the image carousel is a frequently asked question. If you are also looking for a solution to prepare the interview, don't look up the video earlier than 2021, I mean I watched a couple of videos using the BEM method to name the class, that's a good and popular method developer used before whatever in USA or China, but I think it's too redundant. This bro's coding style is pretty good and his logic is great and explains everything in a concise way. I didn't turn on the English subtitle and can follow up on every step with him.

[@mykalimba]

8:20 I'd be interested in seeing a video/article that elaborates on this. I don't see how working with attributes instead of classes makes working with JavaScript any easier. If anything, it seems like it'd take more effort to do the same thing when using data attributes (e.g. typing attribute "data-blerg" vs. class name "blerg", querySelectorAll('[data-blerg]') vs. querySelectorAll('.blerg'), etc.). Any class name collisions (I think that's what you mean by the term "overlap"?) are avoided by having a good HTML/CSS design ahead of time.

[@ShawnRitch]

Now that is funny... I was thinking exactly the same thing - except, I prefer using IDs as they differentiate the use of JS from CSS being used. However, this was still a great video to watch. Kyle does a wonderful job making these for us. :D

[@lovefashro]

@@ShawnRitch Classes are better as you might have multiple carrousels on the page

[@justindion4394]

@@lovefashro I think you could run into the same problem and you end up with data-carousel-button-2 and on

[@lovefashro]

@@justindion4394 i was refering to using classes over ids

[@robwatson826]

One good reason is future maintainability - if you come back to this code in the future and see loads of class names, you could easily be fooled into thinking you have CSS rules to go along with it. Also, a class like “active” is fairly common and could easily overlap with other display styles you have created which could cause odd rendering issues

[@bobdinitto]

I enjoyed this and learned a lot but I'll have to watch at least seven more times to absorb it all. CSS selectors are my weak point so I'm always interested in learning new selector tricks.

[@robertobellotti5941]

Something that confused me for a moment was how in the html we are adding attributes such as "data-active" or "data-carousel-button", yet in the javascript we are referencing those attributes with the syntax "element.dataset.active" or "element.dataset.carouselButton". I was trying to figure out where the camelCased version of carouselButton came from, but it simply gets translated that way anytime you use "data-something" in the html tag, it will be referenced as element.dataset.something. And apparently if you used multiple dashed words like "data-some-thing-else" then it can be referenced as "element.dataset.someThingElse". Ok sure, though I'd recommend using camelCase in your html tags instead for better clarity. For example and will both be referenced as "element.dataset.someThingElse" in the javascript, so might as well use the camelCase in the html too

[@adaravaks]

Thank you very much, I was questioning the same thing

[@TLPLounge]

its in the html documentation that element.dataset-any-thing converts to anyThing if youre gonna reference it in JS

[@michaelparkernorton4841]

Thanks this is going to help a lot as I work to complete my homework assignment for Web Dev Fundamentals II at BYUI this week!

[@michelaveline]

In Portuguese I would say... "Tu é o cara!!" Once again and again.... thank you.

[@thomasulatowski3012]

So concise. A really great example. I learned a lot. Thanks Web Dev SIMPLIFIED!

[@jacegarth]

Hi, just found your video here (never seen any of your videos before). 1:18 into the view, paused, subscribed. I can see this is going to be useful...

[@chiptaylor1124]

I learned a lot from this video Kyle. Thank you for all the excellent content you create.

[@aleksd286]

Finally Kyle using proper HTML semantics :D

[@matthewharting3390]

Is there a reason why you did not put the carousel buttons below the instead of on top? If they were placed below then there would be no need for z-index which can end up overlapping drop-down menus. Great video though, I will forever use this carousel. Thank you!

[@pazispeace]

that code looks fancy! you explain so well that it is easy to understand what you are doing!

[@miguelgra92]

This was a huge help, even learned a few new concepts! Thanks Bruv!

[@aleeizhere]

this guy has names his channel so honestly.

[@inteJarKilaboma]

Man you are my hero.......so smart. I salute you

[@BagelsAfterMidnight]

This was a lifesaver. Thank you!

[@MeezanTheFairBloke]

The way you operated that JS made my head spin :D Great vid though, one of these day I am going to understand exactly what is going on here...

[@BBStub3]

Very nice, you make it look so easy. If I'll ever make a carousel in 15 min. I'll be awesome,... More awesome then I already am.

[@carlosz1858]

thanks dude, that helped me a lot, greetings from colombia :) have a nice day

[@hjetwd]

nice work! p.s. replace all :focus to :focus-visible

[@hjetwd]

​@@Steel0079 :focus adds an outline when you click with the mouse or tap with your finger. Outline is only needed for navigation when pressing the Tab key. To do this, they came up with :focus-visible - the state only when focusing from the keyboard.

[@nadavbensimon1267]

thanks man i am hoping to be a dev one day.its those types of videos that keep encourge me to cods.keep the good work

[@ajaymishra1511]

Katar patar katar patar and boom 💥 Image carousel ready

[@prsmahajan]

That ahen moment felt because of Kyle Cook😍👊

[@Wilespro1]

beautiful way of creating a carousel. Thanks!

[@yyk9881]

This man is the Best! I think Kyle is a genius. 👍 👍 👍 👍 👍 👍 👍 👍 👍 👍 👍

[@ban_droid]

Please make something like this but with swipe gesture too

[@frankthedsigner558]

Second that, a quick swiping tut would be a good follow-up video. Love your content!

[@andikabeatbox]

thank you bro, you are awesome! nice tutorials

[@mykalimba]

11:35 In instances where your offset is always small-ish, these two checks can be replaced with a single calculation: newIndex = (newIndex + slides.children.length) % slides.children.length; (This assumes there is at least one slide in the carousel.)

[@maelstrom57]

Yep.

[@argylleagen]

Recently found out your channel and I am mesmerised by your work and skillset. Not to mention, quite jealous! Keep going Kyle, you have yourself a sub

[@alexisgarai296]

so cool dude, this is exactly the type of learning support I needed - thanks

[@rework7562]

In this video you use the spread operator on the array (script.js => line 11). I would love to see a more in depth video on this topic because I can't figure out how it actually works in a case like this.

[@yicongshi]

thank you very much! learn a lot step by step!

[@FilledStacks]

Great tutorial. Great tutorial. Thanks for the clarity in the explanation and adding the additional details that might otherwise go un-noticed.

[@Chuksteve-Live]

Thank you very much for this lecture. I have just be able to execute a project with it.

[@nicholaslewis279]

The JS part was crazy as hell. I was with you until that very moment (probably because that was my very first time typing JS) lmao Still managed to do it though with minimal pauses :D

[@axelpaillaud7542]

It was amazing, and so much simple than some other carousel tutorials, thanks you very much !

[@_werther]

Always love your way man, congrats

[@amniar8158]

thanks man never give up

[@briangrover1625]

Fantastic tutorial. Thank you!

[@pietrot90]

[@akodamathe]

Clean, easy to understand, that's what I needed. Thanks a lot!

[@gustavocastro4697]

Helps me a lot, thanks, i appreciate your content a lot!!!

[@promohican8222]

You're working so fast damn

[@doomguy2135]

cant wait to try this with react

[@santoshkadam8431]

Honestly overall designing carousel similar to what you did is not big think. Bu t I am simply amazed with the speed.

[@koka-on6dt]

Your video always useful to me! I just struggled with how to solve the issues of vanilla js and css carousel. Thank you Kyle.

[@andriiauziak1178]

amazingness in simplicity

[@vendettamalize7209]

nvermind i kept clicking left anyways it worked thanks ILOVEU

[@bonnes04]

you make it look so simple

[@Al-no2fm]

Perfect little project for fe devs

[@Liquidian]

Thanks, this was educational and practical.

[@PiccolosDaughter]

"position this ab-so-lutely" *giggles to self*

[@nikhil6842]

I've seen lots of tutorials but no one came close this.

[@JasonKuffler]

Awesome sauce! Thanks :D

[@guyfawkes6930]

That's exactly what i need man ❤️❤️❤️

[@MusicIsLifeFM]

Excellent thank you!

[@brendensong8000]

So simple, but very effective!!! love your videos!

[@TheMetalMag]

Wow u kicked my ass, so much knowledge. Thank you!

[@TheToocool4all]

Great tutorial.

[@Aalok464]

I was just going to see some new videos of you and you uploaded one video

[@ajlebeau]

You are undoubtably a rock star! But who is this code "simplified" for exactly? Who is your target audience? I'm a beginner and it's really hard to follow. Regardless, I've learned so much from you. Thank YOU!

[@Mrabdulazizbidani07]

Perfect this what I was looking for🥰👍🏼

[@StaridasGeography]

Awesome! How about making a part two, where images are loaded from json via the fetch promise? 😉😉

[@ricardosandoval3848]

I’ve been looking for this, thank you!!

[@maheshsangam6212]

this carousel changing image once you click on arrow but is it possible to change it automatically and also work with arrow buttons... i mean slider will move images automatically :)

[@burgasHoH]

Great stuff man !

[@bergjoel93]

When doing a querySelector for an element you want to interact with or that might have an event listener, is it common practice to use an attribute to select it instead of a class or ID?

[@yunalee6221]

You're the best!!!Thank you :)

[@jawndice]

You make it look so easy. May I ask how long have you been coding for?

[@noxagen]

thanks for another lesson bro

[@mrmrsnobody7662]

Thanks for this video

[@keinan7667]

How might you make this slider automatically activate every a few seconds, in addition to using these buttons? - Thanks for the videos!

[@realestatehomerunspodcast6047]

Great video! I love the video features. Which video editor do you use?

[@techniquejoseph]

Thank You Sir!

[@Amanpreetkaur16]

Thanks ❤️❤️

[@rameenana]

Thanks man. Very useful video. How can we add auto slide to this?

[@codedusting]

How is this accessible? Does it work with keyboard only? If I have content within with links, can I select it only for active slide?

[@jorgemeza4364]

You rock man

[@brendariley2431]

This is AMAZING!! You are always the best in your tutorials - thank you so much! Just a quick question, but how could you add soe text on top of the images, each slide has something different on it. I tried to embed it within the div's and img src's, but failed... Any kind of advice would be greatly appreciated!

[@subramanibala1988]

Hi Kyle, Why you are using data attribute? Can you please explain why we are not using CSS class name?

[@Satishkumar-rx7oy]

very helpful tutorial

[@sashanilssen]

This tutorial was great, I had some issues but I solved them eventually. My only gripe is that the arrows seem arbitrary, as clicking either of them has the same effect and scroll in the same direction. I'm new to JavaScript so I don't know how to fix this myself, where would you recommend I start with that?

[@mohdgulzar5178]

How can i make images automatic change

[@VoXelHDCom]

Hey, how can i put text on each image and a button for like a store?

[@melrosemediaonline]

Hi, What intellisense plugin do you use?

[@RebelCoderX]

That's cool. But I was looking for a way to drag it.. Because I need to build a control which I need to be able to drag vertically.. Not like a input type=range though.. Because I need other (not draggable) stuff to be connected to it.. So I need to know the screen position.. I think.. I'm kinda new at this stuff.. I managed to drag divs before.. But now I need to contrain the dragging to horizontal and be able to drop it anywhere within a certain range.

[@danielcrompton7818]

How would you add the classic slide to it?

[@motivationdiverse3485]

Amazing as always bro, really helpful Keep up the good work bro :)

[@irfansaputra5744]

How do you make this slides automatically every a few seconds?

[@omega.developer]

This is super cool
