# 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
There is no need to use webpack provide plugin. The plugin takes your locally insalled jquery library and extends it. The plugin exports your jquery object with extended functionallity. You just need to import the required stylesheet and JS:

```js
import '@codevadmin/owl.carousel/dist/assets/owl.carousel.css';
import $ from '@codevadmin/owl.carousel';

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

#### 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.

```js
$(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.
