We need more such tutorials like these. Handling small projects without use of any library is such a great way to learn.

[@mouhamaddiop1144]

It's always better to do things by yourself, especially if it's for learning purpose. Thank you very much for what you do.

[@developedbyed]

Thanks for the positive feedback on these tutorials so far. Let me know if you want to see something else!

[@Student-fd4go]

Works well, unless you use a page that's not full screen or resize the page during use, can you explain how to make it mobile/resize friendly?

[@sugandharao4221]

Can you show how to add radio buttons at the bottom and control navigation of slides with that?

[@armanhanda]

Hey! Great tutorial man! Any idea how we can use touch gestures like swipe left and swipe right to fire the previous and next events? Also, will this be responsive to viewport size? Thanks 🙏🏼

@@InGreed666 make sure if you linked the js file well

[@kevinariza603]

Hello people! Also, you can add another event listener to check if the screen size changes and update the size variable accordingly, so it becomes responsive. This is what I did: I Changed this: const size = carouselImages[0].clientWidth; By this: let size = carouselImages[0].clientWidth; And I added this to the script: window.addEventListener('resize', () => { carouselSlide.style.transition = "none"; size = carouselImages[0].clientWidth; carouselSlide.style.transform = 'translateX(' + (-size * counter) + 'px)'; }); Thanks for these tutorials, Ed, you are great!

[@ihatejart123]

unfortunately doesnt work for me :( Any idea or tips? is there a specific position within the script for the new eventlistener to place it in? help would be much appreciated :)

[@william.darrigo]

thank you! this was the only tutorial I could find that could do a nice smooth carousel. You explained it awesomingly.

[@Photo-Ninja]

For responsiveness don't use the JS solutions posted below, just use this simple css: .carousel-container { width: 60%; margin: auto; overflow: hidden; } .carousel-slide { display: flex; aspect-ratio: 2 / 1; /*

[@tiaan_va]

@@kazimuntasir maybe learn some more actual JavaScript before you do these tutorials. The point of this is not to copy his code but to see what logic is needed and if you know even basic js you can use this logic to build it without needing to copy code. There is no point to copy code if you don’t know how to debug it.

[@rhyler733]

[@kevinsing8948]

the code is messed up the moment you add carouselSlide.style.transform= 'translateX(' + (-size*counter)+ 'px)' the following happens : scroll with mouse to zoom in and out and you will see multiple images within the frame(60% width border). images dont fit border, only works with 100% zoom, change the zoom and enjoy your headache.

[@tadas4785]

It happens because size property is set upon page load. It is constant and doesn't change if you zoom or resize window. You can zoom page and then refresh, after that it should work fine. In fact this carousel is responsive, because it is not so common to change window size during use-time. If you want to make it 100% clean, just add an event, which would change 'size' property if page is resized. Like this: window.onresize = () => { size = carouselImages[0].clientWidth; carouselSlide.style.transition = "none"; carouselSlide.style.transform = "translateX(" + -size * counter + "px)"; }; And don't forget to set size as 'let' variable, since you can't change value of constant.

Hi, I am following along with the video and I noticed a couple of things. First is that there is more than one image instead of only showing one at a time. The second is when I ran the following code... carouselSlide.addEventListener('transitionend', () =>{ console.log('Fired'); }); No fired doesn't show up when I click next.

[@MuhammadShahbaz-fg4jh]

For one image at a time, check your css, in parent container, use overflow:hidden

[@Jehovah77]

i had this problem my problem was in this line carouselSlide.style.transition = "transform 0.4s ease-in-out" 0.4s was 0.4 so fired didn't work.

Hi @DevEd, why would you use ".lenght - 2?" shouldn't that take you back to the previous 2 of the last array? Cool tut by the way! :D

[@nipsonsinghbistakhatri1241]

same ques

[@cameronsix]

My understanding: It's because there are 5 "real" images + 2 clones = 7 images. So to loop back to the last "real" image ("real" image #5), its location is 7 - 2 = 5.

8:46; I found that making changes to the code and refreshing the page responds with the incorrect clientWidth, and so my slider remains on the lastClone image. I dont know why this happens, but to fix it, I have to use Ctrl+F5 to refresh the page instead of a normal refresh/reload.
