Module

Start by installing the npm package and save it to your dependencies:

npm install embla-carousel --save

The HTML structure

A minimal setup requires an overflow wrapper and a scroll container. Start by adding the following HTML structure to your carousel:

<div class="embla">
  <div class="embla__container">
    <div class="embla__slide">Slide 1</div>
    <div class="embla__slide">Slide 2</div>
    <div class="embla__slide">Slide 3</div>
  </div>
</div>

Styling the carousel

The wrapping element with the classname embla is needed to cover the scroll overflow. The element with the container classname is the scroll body that scrolls the slides. Continue by adding the following CSS to these elements:

.embla {
  overflow: hidden;
}
.embla__container {
  display: flex;
}
.embla__slide {
  flex: 0 0 100%;
}

Adding JavaScript

Now you're ready to add some JavaScript magic to give life to your first Embla Carousel. Grab the element with the classname embla and pass it as the first argument to the EmblaCarousel function:

import EmblaCarousel from 'embla-carousel'

const emblaNode = document.querySelector('.embla')
const options = { loop: false }

const embla = EmblaCarousel(emblaNode, options)

Adding plugins

Embla Carousel accepts an optional plugin array as the thrid argument. Here's a basic example of how to make use of it:

import EmblaCarousel from 'embla-carousel'
import Autoplay from 'embla-carousel-autoplay'

const emblaNode = document.querySelector('.embla')
const options = { loop: false }
const plugins = [Autoplay()] // Plugins

const embla = EmblaCarousel(emblaNode, options, plugins)

Congratulations! You just created your first Embla Carousel.
