Horizontal Scrollable Timeline Plugin - jTimeline

jTimeline is a tiny, responsive, SEO-friendly jQuery timeline plugin that generates a horizontal scrollable timeline from an HTML unordered list.

You can scroll through the events by clicking next/previous arrows in the timeline just like a list scroller.

How to use it:

1. Add the jTimeline plugin's JavaScript and CSS files to the webpage.

<link rel="stylesheet" href="/path/to/jtimeline.css" />
<script src="/path/to/cdn/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script src="/path/to/jtimeline.js"></script>

2. Add your own events (steps) as list items to the timeline. Don't forget to set the date and time based on an Unix timestamp as follows:

<div id="jtimeline-demo" class="jtimeline">
  <ul class="jtimeline-events">
    <li class="jtimeline-event" data-timestamp="1591416000">
      June 6th 2020<br />
      Birthday
    </li>
    <li class="jtimeline-event" data-timestamp="1609477200">
      January 1st 2021<br />
      New Year
    </li>
    <li class="jtimeline-event is-active" data-timestamp="1610514000">
      January 13th 2021<br />
      Launch of jTimeline
    </li>
    <li class="jtimeline-event" data-timestamp="1613278800">
      February 14th 2021<br />
      Valentine's Day
    </li>
  </ul>
</div>

3. Initialize the timeline plugin and done.

$(function(){
  $('#jtimeline-demo').jTimeline();
});

4. Config the timeline by override the default options as displayed below.

$('#jtimeline-demo').jTimeline({

  // pixels per second
  resolution: 50000, 

  // minimum spacing between events
  minimumSpacing: 200, 

  // scrolling (translateX) step size
  step: 200, 

  // character for left arrow
  leftArrow: "&larr;", 

  // character for right arrow
  rightArrow: "&rarr;", 
  
});
