How To Create Simple Slider In jQuery

Very easy, we need 2 buttons, and click event, and CSS style, only.

Create Simple Slider

HTML Element:

<!-- By Qassim Hassan, wp-time.com -->

<div class="slider">
    <img class="show" src="https://wp-time.com/image1.png"> <!-- first image has class "show" IMPORTANT! -->
    <img src="https://wp-time.com/image2.png">
    <img src="https://wp-time.com/image3.png">
</div>

<!--
    Note: for buttons, you can use any HTML element,
    for example <div id="next">Next</div> and <div id="prev">Prev</div>
-->
<button id="prev">Prev</button>
<button id="next">Next</button>

jQuery Code:

/*
    Slider By Qassim Hassan, wp-time.com
*/

$( function() {

    /* Next Button */
    $("#next").click( function(){ // if click on "next" button:

        if( !$('.show').is(':last-child') ){ // check if image is not last child:
            $(".show").removeClass("show").next().addClass("show"); // remove class "show" from current image and add class "show" to next image.
        }

    });

    /* Prev Button */
    $("#prev").click( function(){ // if click on "prev" button:

        if( !$('.show').is(':first-child') ){ // check if image is not first child:
            $(".show").removeClass("show").prev().addClass("show"); // remove class "show" from current image and add class "show" to previous image.
        }

    });

});

CSS Code:

/*
    Style By Qassim Hassan, wp-time.com
*/

.slider{
    width:500px;
    height: 500px;
    margin:0 auto;
    background-color: #000; /* wrap background color */
    display:block;
    position:relative;
}

.slider img{
    position:absolute;
    width:100%;
    height: 100%;
    visibility: hidden;
    opacity: 0;
    transition: all ease 0.5s; /* fade effect */
}

.slider .show{
    visibility: visible;
    opacity: 1;
    transition: all ease 0.5s; /* fade effect */
}

Done.
