Number one this week, Embla Carousel is a lightweight library to create sliders (also called “carousels”) in the browser.
It shines with its touch/gesture features: you can make the slides scroll by dragging the images in a very natural way.
It can be used without any JavaScript framework but it also provides a hook for easy integration with React.
Check the online examples to see the carousels in actions… It’s always good to see pictures of cats if you need to relax before starting a new week! 🐱
