# Owl Carousel 2

Touch enabled [jQuery](https://jquery.com/) plugin that lets you create a beautiful, responsive carousel slider. **To get started, check out https://owlcarousel2.github.io/OwlCarousel2/.**

**Notice:** The old Owl Carousel site (owlgraphic [dot] com) is no longer in use. Please delete all references to this in bookmarks and your own products' documentation as it's being used for malicious purposes.

## Quick start

### Install

This package can be installed with:

- [npm](https://www.npmjs.com/package/owl.carousel): `npm install --save owl.carousel` or `yarn add owl.carousel jquery`
- [bower](http://bower.io/search/?q=owl.carousel): `bower install --save owl.carousel`

Or download the [latest release](https://github.com/OwlCarousel2/OwlCarousel2/releases).

### Load

#### Webpack

Add jQuery via the "webpack.ProvidePlugin" to your webpack configuration:
    
    const webpack = require('webpack');
    
    //...
    plugins: [
        new webpack.ProvidePlugin({
          $: 'jquery',
          jQuery: 'jquery',
          'window.jQuery': 'jquery'
        }),
    ],
    //...

Load the required stylesheet and JS:

```js
import 'owl.carousel/dist/assets/owl.carousel.css';
import 'owl.carousel';
```

#### Static HTML

Put the required stylesheet at the [top](https://developer.yahoo.com/performance/rules.html#css_top) of your markup:

```html
<link rel="stylesheet" href="/node_modules/owl.carousel/dist/assets/owl.carousel.min.css" />
```

```html
<link rel="stylesheet" href="/bower_components/owl.carousel/dist/assets/owl.carousel.min.css" />
```

**NOTE:** If you want to use the default navigation styles, you will also need to include `owl.theme.default.css`.


Put the script at the [bottom](https://developer.yahoo.com/performance/rules.html#js_bottom) of your markup right after jQuery:

```html
<script src="/node_modules/jquery/dist/jquery.js"></script>
<script src="/node_modules/owl.carousel/dist/owl.carousel.min.js"></script>
```

```html
<script src="/bower_components/jquery/dist/jquery.js"></script>
<script src="/bower_components/owl.carousel/dist/owl.carousel.min.js"></script>
```

### Usage

Wrap your items (`div`, `a`, `img`, `span`, `li` etc.) with a container element (`div`, `ul` etc.). Only the class `owl-carousel` is mandatory to apply proper styles:

```html
<div class="owl-carousel owl-theme">
  <div> Your Content </div>
  <div> Your Content </div>
  <div> Your Content </div>
  <div> Your Content </div>
  <div> Your Content </div>
  <div> Your Content </div>
  <div> Your Content </div>
</div>
```
**NOTE:** The `owl-theme` class is optional, but without it, you will need to style navigation features on your own.


Call the [plugin](https://learn.jquery.com/plugins/) function and your carousel is ready.

```javascript
$(document).ready(function(){
  $('.owl-carousel').owlCarousel();
});
```

## Documentation

The documentation, included in this repo in the root directory, is built with [Assemble](http://assemble.io/) and publicly available at https://owlcarousel2.github.io/OwlCarousel2/. The documentation may also be run locally.

## Building

This package comes with [Grunt](http://gruntjs.com/) and [Bower](http://bower.io/). The following tasks are available:

  * `default` compiles the CSS and JS into `/dist` and builds the doc.
  * `dist` compiles the CSS and JS into `/dist` only.
  * `watch` watches source files and builds them automatically whenever you save.
  * `test` runs [JSHint](http://www.jshint.com/) and [QUnit](http://qunitjs.com/) tests headlessly in [PhantomJS](http://phantomjs.org/).

To define which plugins are build into the distribution just edit `/_config.json` to fit your needs.
