A performant, lightweight React slider/carousel component for rendering media (image/video) and content transitions with 60fps animations. It offers modular styling via CSS variables, optional HOC wrappers (autoplay, captions, animated lettering), and fullpage navigation utilities.

Use cases

• build an image gallery slider in React
• add a carousel of media slides to a Next.js site
• create animated content transitions between slides
• implement autoplay for a hero image slider
• add captions to gallery images
• build fullpage navigation with page transitions
• customize slider animations like cube or fold-out effects

When to choose

• you need a lightweight, performant React slider with 60fps animations
• you want modular, customizable styling via CSS variables or CSS Modules
• you need optional features like autoplay, captions, or fullpage navigation as HOCs
• you are building with React 18+, Next.js, or Gatsby

When to avoid

• you need a slider outside the React ecosystem
• you require advanced features like lazy-loaded virtualized galleries or built-in lightbox support
• you need a headless slider with no bundled styles
• your project uses React versions older than 18
