Create an Infinite Image Gallery (Carousel) with React

Tiempo de lectura: < 1 minuto

I’m going to share with everyone an Infinite Image Gallery or carousel component.

We’ll call it “InfiniteGallery.” It displays images infinitely in a gallery, allowing you to drag and drop images to rearrange them. This component utilizes the react-dnd and react-dnd-html5-backend libraries for drag-and-drop functionality.

First, you need to install the libraries:

npm install react-dnd react-dnd-html5-backend --save

Now, let’s create our component, which we’ll call InfiniteGallery.tsx:

import React, { useState } from 'react';
import { useDrag, useDrop, DndProvider } from 'react-dnd';
import { HTML5Backend } from 'react-dnd-html5-backend';

// ... (rest of the code)

export default InfiniteGallery;

If you prefer the component in Javascript, name it InfiniteGallery.js:

import React, { useState } from 'react';
import { useDrag, useDrop } from 'react-dnd';
import { HTML5Backend } from 'react-dnd-html5-backend';

// ... (rest of the code)

export default InfiniteGallery;

This component allows you to pass a list of images and then organize them through drag-and-drop functionality. You can use it like this:

import React from 'react';
import InfiniteGallery from './InfiniteGallery'; // Adjust the path according to your file structure

const App: React.FC = () => {
  const images = [
    { id: 1, src: 'image1.jpg' },
    { id: 2, src: 'image2.jpg' },
    { id: 3, src: 'image3.jpg' },
    // Add more images as needed
  ];

  return (
    <div>
      <h1>Awesome Infinite Gallery!</h1>
      <InfiniteGallery images={images} />
    </div>
  );
};

export default App;

This component uses the react-dnd library to facilitate drag-and-drop.
