## Description

This plugin allows you to use of the popular [Swiper.js](https://swiperjs.com/) 
library in WordPress.

This is a minimalist plugin that is for displaying responsive cards in a slide.

 * On a large screen device, the slide will show a horizontal card (image on the
   left and text on the right).
 * On a small device, the slide becomes a stacked card with the image on the top
   and text on the bottom.

See the screengrabs below to get a visual or visit the [live demo](https://streetphotography.blog/ashtabula-swiper-slider/).

**Note**: You should be comfortable with HTML and CSS to use this plugin.

### Usage

 1. Use the [demo HTML file](https://github.com/marklchaves/ashtabula/blob/master/ashtabula-demo.html)
    as a starter template. Add this HTML to a HTML or code block/element to your page
    or post.
 2. To add the images, use the example CSS below as a template. Add the CSS to your**
    Appearance** > **Customize** > **Additional CSS** or your child theme’s `style.
    css` file.

CSS example to specify the background image for the responsive card in a slide.

    ```
    /**
     * Swiper Slider Plugin Custom Styles
     */

    #my-swiper-slide-1 {
     background-image: url(mybgimg-1.png);
    }
    #my-swiper-slide-2 {
     background-image: url(mybgimg-2.png);
    }
    #my-swiper-slide-3 {
     background-image: url(mybgimg-3.png);
    }
    ```

## FAQ

### How can I change the Swiper.js settings?

You can override the `ashtabula.js` file. Here’s an example.

Add this to your child theme’s functions.php file.

    ```
    /** Override Swiper Slider Plugin JS */
    function override_ssp_js()
    {
        wp_dequeue_script('ashtabula');
        wp_enqueue_script('swiper-slider-custom-js', get_stylesheet_directory_uri().'/js/swiper-slider-custom.js', '', '1.0.0', true);
    }
    add_action('wp_enqueue_scripts', 'override_ssp_js', 100);
    ```

Create this file: `/js/swiper-slider-custom.js`. Add this code to the file. It will
override the default plugin settings for Swiper.js.

    ```
    /**
     * Make the slides:
     * 1. Slide up instead of 
     * to the right.
     * 2. Loop instead of rewind.
     * 3. Speed up to 3 seconds.
     */
    (function () {
      let swiper = new Swiper(".swiper-container", {
        autoplay: {
          delay: 3000,
        },
        direction: "vertical",
        loop: true,
      });
    })();
    ```
