How to use

The slider only needs a basic HTML structure to work:

<div class="sheet">
  <input id="a1" type="radio" name="a" checked>
  <input id="a2" type="radio" name="a">
  <input id="a3" type="radio" name="a">
  <div class="sheet-content">
    <div class="sheet-item">
      <img class="sheet-image" src="image.jpg">
    </div>
    <div class="sheet-item">
      <img class="sheet-image" src="image.jpg">
    </div>
    <div class="sheet-item">
      <img class="sheet-image" src="image.jpg">
    </div>
  </div>
  <div class="sheet-arrows">
    <label for="a1"></label>
    <label for="a2"></label>
    <label for="a3"></label>
  </div>
</div>

All content inside the sheet-item elements will be the ones that move. They don't necessarily have to be images, they can be any HTML element.

The slider also has two optional elements, which are the navigation buttons and the descriptive texts. If you include them, the structure would look like this:

<div class="sheet">
  <input id="a1" type="radio" name="a" checked>
  <input id="a2" type="radio" name="a">
  <input id="a3" type="radio" name="a">
  <div class="sheet-content">
    <div class="sheet-item">
      <img class="sheet-image" src="image.jpg">
      <!-- description -->
      <div class="sheet-meta">
        <h4 class="sheet-title">Example title</h4>
        <p class="sheet-text">Text description</p>
      </div>
    </div>
    <div class="sheet-item">
      <img class="sheet-image" src="image.jpg">
      <!-- description -->
      <div class="sheet-meta">
        <h4 class="sheet-title">Example title</h4>
        <p class="sheet-text">Text description</p>
      </div>
    </div>
    <div class="sheet-item">
      <img class="sheet-image" src="image.jpg">
      <!-- description -->
      <div class="sheet-meta">
        <h4 class="sheet-title">Example title</h4>
        <p class="sheet-text">Text description</p>
      </div>
    </div>
  </div>
  <!-- dots -->
  <div class="sheet-dots">
    <label for="a1"></label>
    <label for="a2"></label>
    <label for="a3"></label>
  </div>
  <!-- arrows -->
  <div class="sheet-arrows">
    <label for="a1"></label>
    <label for="a2"></label>
    <label for="a3"></label>
  </div>
</div>

Note: The for attribute of the labels must match the id of the inputs. For multiple sliders on the same page, the name attribute of the inputs must be different, and the for attribute of the labels must match the id of the inputs of the slider to which they belong.

Customize

Define new values for the variables in your CSS file or in the :root selector.

Variable	Description
--sheet-accent	Accent color
--sheet-ratio	Aspect ratio
--sheet-space	Space of the elements
--sheet-arrow-size	Size of the arrows
--sheet-duration	Animation duration
--sheet-dot-size	Size of the dots
--sheet-timing	Animation timing function
--sheet-text-color	Text color
--sheet-text-shadow	Text shadow
--sheet-title-size	Title font size
--sheet-text-size	Text font size
--sheet-arrow-padding	Padding of the arrows
--sheet-arrow-bg	BG color of the arrows
--sheet-arrow	SVG of the arrows
--sheet-dot-gap	Space between the dots
--sheet-dot-bg	BG color of the dots
--sheet-dot-hover	BG color of the dots when hover

You can also modify the values in the _variables.scss file and compile it with Sass.

Options

You can choose between two animation modes: fade and vertical. By default, the animation mode is horizontal. If you want to change it, you just have to add the corresponding class to the main container:

<div class="sheet sheet-fade">
  ...
</div>

<div class="sheet sheet-vertical">
  ...
</div>
