Customizing

Items (Slides)

By default, each slide will be rendered as passed as children. If you need to customize them, use the prop renderItem.

renderItem: (item: React.ReactNode, options?: { isSelected: boolean }) => React.ReactNode;

Thumbs

By default, thumbs are generated extracting the images in each slide. If you don't have images on your slides or if you prefer a different thumbnail, use the method renderThumbs to return a new list of images to be used as thumbs.

renderThumbs: (children: React.ReactChild[]) => React.ReactChild[]

Arrows

By default, simple arrows are rendered on each side. If you need to customize them and the css is not enough, use the renderArrowPrev and renderArrowNext. The click handler is passed as argument to the prop and needs to be added as click handler in the custom arrow.

renderArrowPrev: (clickHandler: () => void, hasPrev: boolean, label: string) => React.ReactNode;
renderArrowNext: (clickHandler: () => void, hasNext: boolean, label: string) => React.ReactNode;

Indicators

By default, indicators will be rendered as those small little dots in the bottom part of the carousel. To customize them, use the renderIndicator prop.

renderIndicator: (
    clickHandler: (e: React.MouseEvent | React.KeyboardEvent) => void,
    isSelected: boolean,
    index: number,
    label: string
) => React.ReactNode;

Take full control of the carousel

If none of the previous options are enough, you can build your own controls for the carousel. Check an example at http://react-responsive-carousel.js.org/storybook/?path=/story/02-advanced--with-external-controls

Custom Animations

By default, the carousel uses the traditional 'slide' style animation. There is also a built in fade animation, which can be used by passing 'fade' to the animationHandler prop. *note: the 'fade' animation does not support swiping animations, so you may want to set swipeable to false

If you would like something completely custom, you can pass custom animation handler functions to animationHandler, swipeAnimationHandler, and stopSwipingHandler. The animation handler functions accept props and state, and return styles for the contain list, default slide style, selected slide style, and previous slide style. Take a look at the fade animation handler for an idea of how they work:

const fadeAnimationHandler: AnimationHandler = (props, state): AnimationHandlerResponse => {
    const transitionTime = props.transitionTime + 'ms';
    const transitionTimingFunction = 'ease-in-out';

    let slideStyle: React.CSSProperties = {
        position: 'absolute',
        display: 'block',
        zIndex: -2,
        minHeight: '100%',
        opacity: 0,
        top: 0,
        right: 0,
        left: 0,
        bottom: 0,
        transitionTimingFunction: transitionTimingFunction,
        msTransitionTimingFunction: transitionTimingFunction,
        MozTransitionTimingFunction: transitionTimingFunction,
        WebkitTransitionTimingFunction: transitionTimingFunction,
        OTransitionTimingFunction: transitionTimingFunction,
    };

    if (!state.swiping) {
        slideStyle = {
            ...slideStyle,
            WebkitTransitionDuration: transitionTime,
            MozTransitionDuration: transitionTime,
            OTransitionDuration: transitionTime,
            transitionDuration: transitionTime,
            msTransitionDuration: transitionTime,
        };
    }

    return {
        slideStyle,
        selectedStyle: { ...slideStyle, opacity: 1, position: 'relative' },
        prevStyle: { ...slideStyle },
    };
};

Videos

If your carousel is about videos, keep in mind that it's up to you to control which videos will play. Using the renderItem prop, you will get information saying if the slide is selected or not and can use that to change the video state. Only play videos on selected slides to avoid issues.
