Each of the amp-carousel component’s immediate children is considered an item in the carousel. Each of these nodes may also have arbitrary HTML children.
The carousel consists of an arbitrary number of items, as well as optional navigational arrows to go forward or backwards a single item.
The carousel advances between items if the user swipes, uses arrow keys, or clicks an optional navigation arrow.
<amp-carousel width=300 height=400>
<amp-img src="my-img1.png" width=300 height=400></amp-img>
<amp-img src="my-img2.png" width=300 height=400></amp-img>
<amp-img src="my-img3.png" width=300 height=400></amp-img>
</amp-carousel>Note that while the example shows a carousel of images, amp-carousel support arbitrary children.
controls
If present, displays left and right arrows for the user to use in navigation on mobile. Visibility of arrows can also be controlled via styling, and a media query can be used to only display arrows at certain screen widths. On desktop, arrows will always be displayed unless only a single child is present.
Usage example:
<amp-carousel width="100" height="100" controls layout="responsive" type="slides">type
carousel(default) - All slides are shown and are scrollable horizontally. Be aware thattype=carouseldoes not currently supportlayout=responsive.slides- Shows a single slide at a time. Supportslayout=responsive.
loop (type=slides only)
If present, the user may advance past the first item or the final item.
autoplay (type=slides only)
If present, advances the slide to the next slide without user interaction.
By default it will advance a slide in 5000 millisecond intervals (5 seconds)
and can be overridden by the delay attribute.
If autoplay is present it will also attach the loop attribute to
amp-carousel if loop is not already present.
delay (type=slides only)
By default a slide will advance in 5000 millisecond intervals (5 seconds)
when autoplay is specified and will use the value of the delay
attribute if present (minimum of 1000 ms; an error will be thrown if it's any lower).
The value of delay must be a number of milliseconds, e.g. delay=5000.
-
You may use the
amp-carouselelement selector to style it freely. -
You may use the
.amp-carousel-slideclass selector to target carousel items. -
.amp-carousel-buttonby default uses an inlined SVG as the background-image of the buttons. You may override this with your own SVG or image like so:default
.amp-carousel-button-prev {
left: 16px;
background-image: url('data:image/svg+xml;utf8,<svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" width="18" height="18" viewBox="0 0 18 18"><path d="M15 8.25H5.87l4.19-4.19L9 3 3 9l6 6 1.06-1.06-4.19-4.19H15v-1.5z" fill="#fff" /></svg>');
}override
.amp-carousel-button-prev {
left: 5%;
background-image: url('data:image/svg+xml;utf8,<svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" width="18" height="18" viewBox="0 0 18 18"><path d="M11.56 5.56L10.5 4.5 6 9l4.5 4.5 1.06-1.06L8.12 9z" fill="#fff" /></svg>');
}- By default the visual state of an
amp-carouselbutton when it is disabled is that it is hidden. You may override this visual state of anamp-carouselbutton in the disabled state by:
.amp-carousel-button.amp-disabled {
/* make sure we make it visible */
visibility: visible;
/* choose our own background styling, red'ish */
background-color: rgba(255, 0, 0, .5);
