Installation

npm install @coderpradp/ng-image-slider --save

Setup :

NgImageSliderComponent is standalone — import it directly wherever you need it:

import { Component } from '@angular/core';
import { NgImageSliderComponent } from '@coderpradp/ng-image-slider';

@Component({
  selector: 'app-root',
  standalone: true,
  imports: [
    NgImageSliderComponent,
    ...
  ],
  templateUrl: './app.component.html',
})
export class AppComponent {}

Still on an NgModule-based app? NgImageSliderComponent can be added to NgModule.imports the same way any standalone component can:

@NgModule({
  declarations: [AppComponent],
  imports: [
    NgImageSliderComponent,
    ...
  ],
  bootstrap: [AppComponent],
})
export class AppModule {}

Add component in your template file.

<ng-image-slider [images]="imageObject" #nav></ng-image-slider>

ImageObject format

    alt: 'alt of image',
    title: 'title of image',
  },
  {
    image: '.../iOe/xHHf4nf8AE75h3j1x64ZmZ//Z==', // Support base64 image
    thumbImage: '.../iOe/xHHf4nf8AE75h3j1x64ZmZ//Z==', // Support base64 image

fallbackImage Input Format

import type { SliderFallbackImage } from '@coderpradp/ng-image-slider';

fallbackImage: SliderFallbackImage = {
  image: './slider/mainImage.jpg',
  thumbImage: './slider/thumbImage.jpg',
};

TypeScript types

The package exports TypeScript types for its @Input/@Output shapes — import them directly instead of hand-rolling your own:

import type {
  ImageObject,
  SliderImageSize,
  SliderFallbackImage,
  AutoSlideConfig,
  AutoSlideOptions,
  SliderArrowClickEvent,
  SliderDirection,
  SliderOrderType,
  SliderArrowAction,
  LightboxArrowAction,
} from '@coderpradp/ng-image-slider';

Type	Used by	Shape
ImageObject	images @Input	{ image?, thumbImage?, title?, alt?, order?, video?, videoAutoPlay?, posterImage? }
SliderImageSize	imageSize @Input	{ width?: number | string; height?: number | string; space?: number }
SliderFallbackImage	fallbackImage @Input	{ image?: string; thumbImage?: string }
AutoSlideConfig	autoSlide @Input	boolean | number | AutoSlideOptions
AutoSlideOptions	object form of AutoSlideConfig	{ interval: number; stopOnHover?: boolean }
SliderDirection	direction @Input	'ltr' | 'rtl' | 'auto'
SliderOrderType	orderType @Input	'ASC' | 'DESC'
SliderArrowAction	SliderArrowClickEvent.action	'next' | 'previous'
LightboxArrowAction	lightboxArrowClick @Output	'lightbox next' | 'lightbox previous'
SliderArrowClickEvent	arrowClick @Output	{ action: SliderArrowAction; prevDisable?: boolean; nextDisable?: boolean }

Note: direction, orderType, arrowClick's action, and lightboxArrowClick are literal unions rather than plain string. Under strictTemplates, binding a value whose declared type is string will not compile — annotate the field with the exported type instead, e.g. slideOrderType: SliderOrderType = 'DESC';.

NgImageSliderService

NgImageSliderService is also exported (providedIn: 'root') — the slider uses it internally, but it is part of the public API if you need the same helpers:

Method	Returns	Description
isBase64(str: string)	boolean	Whether the string is Base64-encoded.
base64FileExtension(str: string)	string	Extracts the file extension from a data:image/...;base64,... string.
orderArray<T extends { order?: number }>(arr, orderType?: SliderOrderType)	T[]	Sorts in place by the order key; orderType is 'ASC' (default) or 'DESC'. Entries without order go last.
isImageExist(url: string)	Promise<boolean>	Resolves true if the image at url loads. Browser-only (uses new Image()).

Add custom navigation button

import { Component, viewChild } from '@angular/core';
import {
  NgImageSliderComponent,
  ImageObject,
} from '@coderpradp/ng-image-slider';

@Component({
  selector: 'sample',
  standalone: true,
  imports: [NgImageSliderComponent],
  template: `
    <ng-image-slider [images]="imageObject" #nav></ng-image-slider>
    <button (click)="prevImageClick()">Prev</button>
    <button (click)="nextImageClick()">Next</button>
  `,
})
class Sample {
  readonly nav = viewChild<NgImageSliderComponent>('nav');
  imageObject: ImageObject[] = [...];

  prevImageClick() {
    this.nav()?.prev();
  }

  nextImageClick() {
    this.nav()?.next();
  }
}
