[RFC] Image Slider/Carousel

[brianespinosa]

Feature Request

Placeholder for discussion on a slider/carousel component

Problem Description

Stardust does not yet have a carousel or slideshow type component. We should probably provide something with basic functionality for not only images, but any content.

What To Include

This is an initial list of both UI and functional features we should consider

UI

• Left/Right navigation
• Dot strip navigation
• Film strip navigation
• Positioning for any navigation components (top/bottom)

Functionality

• OOTB transition options
• Continuous sliding option (next @ end shows the first item)
• Automatic building of navigation based on content added to the carousel

---

If there is interest, I actually have a very simple slider that does some of this that I could probably take a shot at implementing in the Stardust environment once there are some more solid pattern foundations here.

Agreed. I have a vanilla JS state manager prototype of this already that I'd like to port as well. See https://codesandbox.io/s/jzjpxwjp4y for early prototypes of how we'd like to manage state in a vanilla JS way.

Any follow up on this? It's been a while. Please let us know if it's still in the plan. Thanks! @levithomason

There is now a W3 guide to carousels. We should start with a base implementation of this:

@jurokapsiar can your prioritize this one, please?
