Blocks Carousel

:sparkles: Branch: slider

Introduction

The Slider Layout, just as the Flex Layout, is a flexible way of creating a new block based on other blocks, using children. It allows slider from other blocks to be created, such as info-card and even flex-layout, for example.

Let's use the Slider Layout to transform a couple of info-cards into a slide.

Slider Layout

Looking at the documentation, we notice that we can use any block array as children, just as with Flex Layout.

Below, you have an implementation example of a slider-layout with two info-card:


  "slider-layout#home": {
    "children": ["info-card#1", "info-card#2"],
    "props": {
      "autoplay": {
        "timeout": 5000,
        "stopOnHover": false
      }
    }
  },

  "info-card#1": {
    "props": {
      "imageUrl": "https://images.unsplash.com/photo-1524185962737-ea7c028a12cd?ixlib=rb-1.2.1&auto=format&fit=crop&w=1350&q=80",
      "isFullModeStyle": true,
      "headline": "Black Friday",
      "callToActionText": "Subscribe",
      "textPosition": "center"
    }
  },

  "info-card#2": {
    "props": {
      "imageUrl": "https://images.unsplash.com/photo-1524185962737-ea7c028a12cd?ixlib=rb-1.2.1&auto=format&fit=crop&w=1350&q=80",
      "isFullModeStyle": true,
      "headline": "Black Friday",
      "callToActionText": "Subscribe",
      "textPosition": "center"
    }
  }

Activity

In this activity, we will create a brand slider for our site:

In home.jsonc, declare the slider-layout#home block to the store.home template.
Create a file called slider-layout.jsonc in the /store/blocks folder;
In this file, based on the above-mentioned code, replace the declared info-card as slider-layout#home's children and add 6 image image components as children. As format, use image#brand1, image#brand2 (...) image#brand6 to declare the components;
Declare a specific src prop for each defined image#brand. Use the URLs below for each:

2. https://appliancetheme.vteximg.com.br/arquivos/flatflat-brand-logo-square2.png
3. https://appliancetheme.vteximg.com.br/arquivos/flatflat-brand-logo-square3.png
4. https://appliancetheme.vteximg.com.br/arquivos/flatflat-brand-logo-square4.png
5. https://appliancetheme.vteximg.com.br/arquivos/flatflat-brand-logo-square5.png
6. https://appliancetheme.vteximg.com.br/arquivos/flatflat-brand-logo-square6.png
Lastly, you have to use the autoplay property in the slider-layout#home block. Make the slider occur automatically every 7 seconds and also make it stop when the user hovers over the slide.

:information_source: Remember to go through the Slider Layout and Image documentation if you have any questions during the activity.
