render*Controls

React.PropTypes.func

A set of eight render props for rendering controls in different positions around the carousel.

• Valid render props for the eight positions are renderTopLeftControls, renderTopCenterControls, renderTopRightControls, renderCenterLeftControls, renderCenterCenterControls, renderCenterRightControls, renderBottomLeftControls, renderBottomCenterControls, and renderBottomRightControls.

<Carousel
  renderTopCenterControls={({ currentSlide }) => (
    <div>Slide: {currentSlide}</div>
  )}
  renderCenterLeftControls={({ previousSlide }) => (
    <button onClick={previousSlide}>Previous</button>
  )}
  renderCenterRightControls={({ nextSlide }) => (
    <button onClick={nextSlide}>Next</button>
  )}
>
  {/* Carousel Content */}
</Carousel>

• The function returns the props for goToSlide, nextSlide and previousSlide functions in addition to slideCount and currentSlide values. Can also remove all render controls using withoutControls.

• NOTE: The className slide-visible is added to the currently visible slide.

External Control of Carousel State

You can control the state of the carousel from your parent component as shown below:

import React from 'react';
import Carousel from 'nuka-carousel';

export default class extends React.Component {
  state = {
    slideIndex: 0
  };

  render() {
    return (
      <Carousel
        slideIndex={this.state.slideIndex}
        afterSlide={slideIndex => this.setState({ slideIndex })}
      >
        <img src="http://placehold.it/1000x400/ffffff/c0392b/&text=slide1" />
        <img src="http://placehold.it/1000x400/ffffff/c0392b/&text=slide2" />
        <img src="http://placehold.it/1000x400/ffffff/c0392b/&text=slide3" />
        <img src="http://placehold.it/1000x400/ffffff/c0392b/&text=slide4" />
        <img src="http://placehold.it/1000x400/ffffff/c0392b/&text=slide5" />
        <img src="http://placehold.it/1000x400/ffffff/c0392b/&text=slide6" />
      </Carousel>
    );
  }
}
