This is so great Joost, thank you! I'm new to JS and am looking to implement your gallery with indicators to display multiple carousels on a single webpage. The indicators were only working on the very first gallery, so I modified the "const list" to look at all lists. To ensure the first indicator on all galleries was selected at page load, I also added the .active class to the first indicator in html to serve as a default. This all "works", but as you scroll the indicators start to disappear and reappear. Was I on the right track or do you have any recommendations?
Hello Joost and thank you!
So, I wanted to make a horizontal slider/carousel using the Intersection Observer API and came across your article.
I think this solution is really neat and can work even in production with a polyfill.
This is my testing demo: codepen.io/elisavetTriant/pen/OJWvOyr, which is actually for a CodePen challenge named "Scrolling Microinteraction" (codepen.io/challenges/2021/april/2)
I tried to make it work with responsive settings on the container/wrapper element so I made some adjustments on the observer callback function.
Nice work!
Do you think it would be easy enough to add click events to the indicators or arrows to this implementation? To allow for the people that don't have magic mice or touch screens...
Yeah, of course! The indicators are easiest: if we know the index of the clicked indicator, we can tell the corresponding item to
scrollIntoView
.For the arrows we could keep track of the current active index:
and scrollIntoView the prev or next one.
But the options of scrollIntoView are not supported by Safari 🙁. So no smooth scrolling.
We can add a polyfill, and it works across modern browsers:
I made a quick demo.
Ohh that is so cool. Thanks so much for the demo I really appreciate it!

Hello Joost, thank you for the detailed step by step tutorial. I tried to reimplement the arrow button to scroll horizontally but am struggling to make it work. If you have 2 mins, could you please help to understand what I am doing wrong? here is the link to source code
hey Joost,
This is exactly what I was looking for! Thank you! I'm trying to implement the arrow buttons for desktop, but having some difficulty since i'm building this in react. Do you know of an easy way to implement this solution in react?
Heyyy Joost! Really nice your examples. :D I don't know if it is for the sandbox the I had to use the keys (left-right) to scroll it.
Cheers!
Hi Edwin, thanks so much for letting me know🙏!
They should be fine now😅
