Easy Fullscreen Carousel Slider Plugin For jQuery - slider.js

slider.js is a lightweight, simple-to-use jQuery plugin that helps you generate a fullscreen, responsive slider carousel for showcasing your photos, designs and stories.

How to use it:

1. Place jQuery library and the jQuery slider.js script at the bottom of the document so the pages load faster.

<script src="//code.jquery.com/jquery-1.11.3.min.js"></script>
<script src="assets/js/slider.js"></script>

2. The primary html structure for the slider carousel.

<div id="main-slider">
  <div class="slide slide-1">
    <div class="container">
      <div class="vertical-hook"></div>
      <div class="vertical-container">
        <header>
          <h1>Slide One</h1>
          <p>This is slide one</p>
        </header>
      </div>
    </div>
  </div>
  <div class="slide slide-2">
    <div class="container">
      <div class="vertical-hook"></div>
      <div class="vertical-container">
        <header>
          <h1>Slide Two</h1>
          <p>This is slide two</p>
        </header>
      </div>
    </div>
  </div>
  <div class="slide slide-3">
    <div class="container">
      <div class="vertical-hook"></div>
      <div class="vertical-container">
        <header>
          <h1>Slide Three</h1>
          <p>This is slide three</p>
        </header>
      </div>
    </div>
  </div>
</div>
