Blocks Carousel

✨ Branch: slider-layout

Introdução

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:

1. In home.jsonc, declare the slider-layout#home block to the store.home template.

2. Create a file called slider-layout.jsonc in the /store/blocks folder;

3. 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;

4. Declare a specific src prop for each defined image#brand. Use the URLs below for each:

   1. https://appliancetheme.vteximg.com.br/arquivos/flatflat-brand-logo-square1.png
   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

5. 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.

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