Gallery/slider that just works!

If you are like me, you avoid commitment unless necessary. This translates to coding as well. Why invest into using a library only to face a pile of problems later on because of over complicated design and lack of maintenance?

That's why I created @daelmaak/ngx-gallery. Yes another ngx gallery, same thing different day, only this time different.

Gallery preview

It's not a fork nor is it based on any previous project. I created it from the ground up with performance in mind, for myself and my colleagues. And now I decided it to put it into test with the community.

Use it if you want:

  • Small library, it has just ~9kB gzipped.
  • Great performance, thanks to HW-accelerated layering animations, efficient event handling and avoiding repaints.
  • 0 dependencies! It packs none.

Customizable

On the first look it's just a gallery, but really it is a canvas for your ideas. Do you wanna make a product carousel out of it? No problem.

Do you wanna give it custom template for the slider items, for error screen, arrows, thumbnails and more? Be my guest. Seriously, the library is small, but can do a lot. Give it a try and let me know what you think ❤️.
