# Superslides

Superslides is a full screen, hardware accelerated slider for jQuery. I wasn't happy with the state of full screen sliders, so naturally I built my own.

## Usage

[Check out the demo](http://nicinabox.github.com/superslides/) for an interactive example or the examples folder for individual cases. Use like your standard jQuery plugin:

```javascript
$('#slides').superslides()
```
## Options


Option
Default
Description


play
0
[number] Milliseconds before progressing to next slide automatically. Use a falsey value to disable.


animation
'slide'
[string] slide or fade. This matches animations defined by fx engine.


animation_speed
'normal'
[string] Animation speed.


animation_easing
'linear'
[string] Animation easing.


inherit_width_from
window
[object] or [string] Accepts window or element selector. Use to constrain slider to an element's width.


inherit_height_from
window
[object] or [string] Accepts window or element selector. Use to constrain slider to an element's height.


pagination
true
[boolean] Generate pagination. Add an id to your slide to use custom pagination on that slide.


hashchange
false
[boolean] Enable hashchange support in url.


elements
(see Elements below)
[object] A hash of element classes used in generated html.

### Elements

The following are element classes accessible under the `elements` object.


preserve
'.preserve'
[string] Add this class to images in your content that you don't want to be resized like the background images.


nav
'.slides-navigation'
[string] Class surrounding next/previous buttons.


container
'.slides-container'
[string] Container class that must be present with original markup.


pagination
'.slides-pagination'
[string] Pagination class added to pagination container.

## Events

Superslides triggers a few events that you can bind to.

started.slides
init.slides
animating.slides // Before slide animation begins
animated.slides // After slide animation ends
updated.slides

## API

``` javascript
$('#slides').superslides('start')
$('#slides').superslides('stop')
$('#slides').superslides('animate' [, index|'next'|'prev'])
$('#slides').superslides('size')
$('#slides').superslides('destroy')
$('#slides').superslides('current') // get current slide index
$('#slides').superslides('next') // get next slide index
$('#slides').superslides('prev') // get previous slide index
```

If adding slides after initialization (a la ajax), be sure to call `update`.

## Styling

All styling required for functionality is handled in the JavaScript. Additional and optional styling is provided in `dist/stylesheets/superslides.css`

## Markup

Markup is pretty straightforward. At minimum it looks something like this:
``` html







```

You could even use a UL as the `slides-container`
``` html






  • Slide one





  • Slide two





  • Slide three








```

## Custom Animations

I realize that you might want to do something unique in your application. That's why I've added the ability to extend the existing animations with your own. See `examples/custom-fx.html`.

```javascript
$.fn.superslides.fx = $.extend({
flip: function(orientation, complete) {
console.log(orientation);
complete();
}
}, $.fn.superslides.fx);
```

## Hardware Acceleration

Superslides is compatible with the [jQuery Animate Enhanced](http://playground.benbarnett.net/jquery-animate-enhanced/) plugin. Simply include it before this plugin and it will automatically smooth out transitions using CSS instead of JavaScript.
