angular-slides

AngularJS directive for vertical, fullscreen, slide-based web pages.

Overview

The goal of this project is to easily allow layouts with the following features:

  • the page is divided into a vertical sequence of slides
  • each slide is fullscreen, i.e. it spans the whole viewport
  • users can't (directly) scroll: up and down arrow key are used to change slide (with scrolling performed programmatically in JavaScript)
  • indvidual slides can be linked

Also, events are fired to signal slide changes, which is useful to hide, reveal and animate stuff.

See it in action!

Getting started

Adding angular-slides to your project

Use npm:

$ npm install angular-slides

or Bower:

$ bower install msl-slides

Then, inside your HTML page:

<!-- AngularJS is the only required dependency -->
<script src="node_modules/angular/angular.js"></script>
<script src="node_modules/angular-slides/dist/msl_slides.js"></script>
<script src="your_code.js"></script>

Note: If you're using Bower, just replace node_modules with bower_components and angular-slides with msl-slides.

Note: The demo folder of this repository contains a working example. Another useful example is this project's website.

Using the mslSlides directive

Basics

<msl-slides>
  <div>First slide</div>
  <div>Second slide</div>
  <div>Third slide</div>
</msl-slides>

Note: CSS styling is up to you. The only style added by the mslSlides directive is 100vw width and 100vh height to each slide.

Note: Remember to load the msl.slides module into your AngularJS app, e.g.:

var myApp = angular.module('myApp', ['msl.slides']);

Links

<msl-slides>
  <div>
    <p>
      First slide
    </p>
    <p>
      Go to <a href="#?slide_number=1">next slide</a>
    </p>
  </div>
  <div>
    <p>
      Second slide
    </p>
  </div>
</msl-slides>

Events

<body ng-controller="MyCtrl">
  <msl-slides>
    <div>
      <p>
        First slide
      </p>
    </div>
    <div>
      <p>
        Second slide
      </p>
    </div>
  </msl-slides>
</body>
angular.module('myApp').controller('MyCtrl', function ($scope) {
  $scope.$on(
    'msl_slides_slide_change_start',
    function (event, old_slide_number, new_slide_number) {
      console.log(
        'Changing from ' + old_slide_number + ' to ' + new_slide_number
      );
    }
  );
  $scope.$on(
    'msl_slides_slide_change_success',
    function (event, old_slide_number, new_slide_number) {
      console.log(
        'Changed from ' + old_slide_number + ' to ' + new_slide_number
      );
    }
  );
});

API

If you're not happy with the previous examples, here is a bunch of detailed informations that will hold true (until breaking changes):

  • the mslSlides directive is hosted inside an AngularJS module called msl.slides
  • slides must be put inside the <msl-slides> element
  • a slide can be any HTML element (although inline elements don't make sense)
  • slides are numbered starting from 0
  • the mslSlides directive applies 100vw width and 100vh height to each slide
  • slide change is performed with up and down arrow keys
  • a msl_slides_slide_change_start AngularJS event is emitted when a slide change starts
  • a msl_slides_slide_change_success AngularJS event is emitted when a slide change is successfully completed
  • msl_slides_slide_change_start and msl_slides_slide_change_success handlers receive the "previous" and the "next" slide numbers (i.e. before and after the slide change) as second and third argument, e.g. function myHandler(event, old_slide, new_slide) { ... }
  • the slide_number query parameter in the address bar is kept in sync with the current slide number (synchronization happens when the animation completes)
  • thus, slide changes can be driven by links too

All other behaviors are to be intended as implementation-specific and should not be depended on.

For contributors

Source code is divided into many files inside the src directory. Here is a short description of these files' responsibilities:

  • src/module.js: provides the module that will host all the other components
  • src/directive/slides.js: defines the msl-slides directive
  • src/service/scroll_detector.js: handles wheel and keydown events in order to prevent regular scrolling and detect the user's will to scroll through up and down arrow keys
  • src/service/scroller.js: implements a sort of animated scrolling
  • src/service/config.js: just a couple of values that control the animated scrolling
  • src/service/location.js: sets and gets the slide number from $location
  • src/service/viewport.js: converts slide numbers into pixel offsets

Development tasks are handled with Grunt:

  • grunt test: run tests
  • grunt build: concat + minify (output inside the dist folder)

Development dependencies are handled with npm.
