How to make a carousel with multiple images in Vuetify?

Question

I want to make a carousel with multiple images like this:

It should slide a single image on arrow click.

There is a feature request, but how to make it until it is fixed?

Answer 1

If you want a more fine-grained control over the look and functionality of your carousel (touch, speed, momentum, number of images per slide, responsive behavior ...), and don't want to implement it from scratch, I recommend you use Vue-Awesome-Swiper as a Vue plugin and stay away from Vuetify when it comes to carousels and image galleries, at least until it's more complete in that regard.

Vue-Awesome-Swiper in a thin vue wrapper around the very powerful Swiper.js library which is, by it's own developers words:

The most modern mobile touch slider with hardware accelerated transitions

Here's the screenshot of a carousel with multiple images:

(Codepen demo)

and here's the screenshot of an image gallery with thumbs:

(Codepen demo)

Here's a code snippet for the first screenshot:

Vue.use(VueAwesomeSwiper);
new Vue({
  el: "#app",
  data: () => ({
    swiperSlides: [
      "pink",
      "red",
      "yellow",
      "purple",
      "green",
      "orange",
      "blue"
    ],
    swiperOption: {
      initialSlide: 0,
      slidesPerView: 4,
      spaceBetween: 20,
      freeMode: true,
      watchOverflow: true,
      breakpoints: {
        1904: {
          slidesPerView: 4,
          spaceBetween: 20
        },
        1264: {
          slidesPerView: 4,
          spaceBetween: 20
        },
        960: {
          slidesPerView: 4,
          spaceBetween: 50
        },
        600: {
          slidesPerView: 3,
          spaceBetween: 150
        },
        400: {
          slidesPerView: 2,
          spaceBetween: 150
        }
      },
      pagination: {
        el: ".swiper-pagination",
        clickable: true
      },
      navigation: {
        nextEl: ".swiper-button-next",
        prevEl: ".swiper-button-prev"
      }
    }
  }),
  computed: {
    swiper() {
      return this.$refs.mySwiper.swiper;
    }
  },
  mounted() {
    // current swiper instance
    this.swiper.slideTo(3, 1000, false);
  },
  methods: {
    callback() {
      //read the API docs to see which slider events are available
    }
  }
});

<div id="app">
  <v-app>
    <v-container>
      <v-card id="product">
        <swiper :options="swiperOption" ref="mySwiper" @someSwiperEvent="callback">
          <!-- slides -->
          <swiper-slide v-for="(slide, index) in swiperSlides" :key="index">
            <v-avatar tile="tile" size="150px" :color="slide">
              <img src="https://www.dropbox.com/s/a8813qmu9f5yixz/shoe_left.png?raw=1">
            </v-avatar>
          </swiper-slide>

          <!-- Optional controls -->
          <div class="swiper-pagination" slot="pagination"></div>
          <div class="swiper-button-prev" slot="button-prev"></div>
          <div class="swiper-button-next" slot="button-next"></div>
        </swiper>
      </v-card>
    </v-container>
  </v-app>
</div>

If you're using the vue-cli, you import Vue-Awesome-Swiper in your main js file and register it as a Vue plugin, as you would with Vuetify:

import VueAwesomeSwiper from 'vue-awesome-swiper';
import 'swiper/dist/css/swiper.css';
Vue.use(VueAwesomeSwiper);

I hope it helps.

Answer 2

I found the following workaround:

<v-carousel>
  <v-carousel-item :key="i" v-for="i in 5">
    <v-layout row>
      <v-flex xs4 :key="j" v-for="j in 3">
        <img :src="'https://placehold.it/380x500/?text=' + i + '-' + j" alt="">
      </v-flex>
    </v-layout>
  </v-carousel-item>
</v-carousel>

But it scrolls a group of images at once. See the demo.

UPDATE: You can use Vue2-Siema, which is a Vue 2 wrapper for Siema - a lightweight carousel library. See the demo.
