Creating a Swiper Slider in Webflow Designer is easy! Here are the steps to set up the following structure:
1. Put your Collection List Wrapper in a div block. Add a class epyc-slider-attributes to it.swiper
2. Add class to the Collection List Wrapper ➝ .swiper-wrapper
3. Add class to the Collection List ➝ .swiper-slide
4. Add class to the Collection Item ➝
5. Put your slide content inside the element and style it however you want.
| Webflow Element | Class to add | Attribute to add | Attribute Value |
| ----------------------- | ---------------------- | ------------------- | --------------- |
| Div Block | epyc-slider-attributes | epyc-slider-element | list |
| Collection List Wrapper | swiper | | |
| Collection List | swiper-wrapper | | |
| Collection Item | swiper-slide | | |
Refer to the screenshot below for help
➝ 
1. Add epyc-slider-element custom attributes with value list to the element with class epyc-styles-attributes.
Done!
Publish your site and the slider will start working.
To customize your slider, just add custom attributes to the element with epyc-slider-attributes class. This element is also the parent element of your slider.
Once you have added the custom attributes, publish the site to see the changes on your published site.
#### Add Navigation to the slider (Arrow Buttons)
1. You can add buttons to move to the next/previous slide.
2. Create two buttons inside the epyc-slider-attributes element and the following class to link them.
| Button | Class to Add | Description |
| --------------- | ---------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------- |
| Previous Button | swiper-prev | Clicking on this button will move the slide to the next one |swiper-next
| Next Button | | Clicking on this button will move the slide to the next one |
> Styling
> You can use the Webflow designer to style the button as you like.
To style the disabled state of the buttons (when you are on the first or the last slide), you need to style the is-disabled class. When the buttons are supposed to be disabled, this class will automatically be added to the button.
_Pro_ _Tip: Wrap both the buttons inside another div element to position_ _them easily_
#### Add Pagination to the slider (Bullets)
1. Add a new Div Block element inside epyc-slider-attributes , but outside of the swiper element.swiper-bullet-wrapper
2. Add class on the new element.flex
3. Change the display to and set the flex-direction to horizontal
4. Inside the elementswiper-bullet
1. Create two new Div Block elements
2. Add class to both the elements

Here's a list of all the possible custom attributes which you can add to epyc-slider-attributes element to customize the slider
Add a custom attribute called epyc-direction and set its value to either horizontal or vertical, depending on your desired direction of movement.
| Attribute Name | Default Value | Possible Values | Description |
| ------------------ | ----------------- | --------------------- | ---------------------------------------- |
| epyc-direction | horizontal | horizontal / vertical | Changes the movement axis of the slider. |
_Important Note:_ _To set the direction to vertical, you will also have to specify a fixed height for the_ _swiper_ _element._
By default, the slider will show 1 slide at a time. To change the number of visible slides at a time, you can use the epyc-slides-per-view attribute.
This attribute is useful for creating carousels or galleries where you want to show multiple items at once.
Setting the value of this attribute to 'auto', the code will automatically determine the number of slides based on the size of the slider container and the size of each slide.
| Attribute Name | Default Value | Possible Values | Description |
| ------------------------------ | ----------------- | ------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| epyc-slides-per-view | auto | auto / number | Changes the number of visible slides for all breakpoints |
| epyc-slides-per-view-desktop | auto | auto / number | Changes the number of visible slides for the desktop (screen width >= 992px) |
| epyc-slides-per-view-tablet | auto | auto / number | Changes the number of visible slides for the tablet(screen width >= 768px) |
| epyc-slides-per-view-landscape | auto | auto / number | Changes the number of visible slides for mobile landscape(screen width >= 479px) |
To change the space between slides, set the epyc-space-between attribute. Settings its value to a number like 24, which will keep a 24-pixel gap between two adjacent slides.
You can also define other spacing values like % and em to define the space. 32, 2em, 4% all are valid values of this attribute.
You can set this property for different breakpoints by using breakpoint-specific attributes:
epyc-space-between- (Replace
| Attribute Name | Default Value | Possible Values | Description |
| ---------------------------- | ----------------- | ------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| epyc-space-between | 0 | number | Changes the space between slides for all breakpoints |
| epyc-space-between-desktop | 0 | number | Changes the space between slides for the desktop (screen width >= 992px) |
| epyc-space-between-tablet | 0 | number | Changes the space between slides for the tablet(screen width >= 768px) |
| epyc-space-between-landscape | 0 | number | Changes the space between slides for mobile landscape(screen width >= 479px) |
To change the speed of the slider transition, set the epyc-speed attribute to the desired duration in milliseconds. The default value is 300.
To change the Slider's autoplay behaviour, set the epyc-autoplay attribute to true.
This will make the slider autoplay each 3-second interval and will rewind to the starting on reaching the end by default. If you want to modify the details of autoplay you can do so by changing the following attributes:
| Attribute Name | Default Value | Possible Values | Description |
| ------------------------------------ | ----------------- | ------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| epyc-autoplay-delay | 3000 | number | The delay between transitions (in ms). If this parameter is not specified, auto-play will be disabled |
| epyc-autoplay-reverse-direction | false | true / false | Enables autoplay in the reverse direction
|
| epyc-autoplay-disable-on-interaction | false | true / false | Set to false and autoplay will not be disabled after user interactions (swipes), it will be restarted every time after the interaction |
| epyc-autoplay-pause-on-mouse-enter | true | true / false | When enabled autoplay will be paused on the pointer (mouse) enter over the Swiper container. |
| epyc-autoplay-stop-on-last-slide | false | true / false | Enable this parameter and autoplay will be stopped when it reaches the last slide (has no effect in loop mode) |
Note: Autoplay is enabled by default. To disable it, set epyc-autoplay attribute to false.
To enable keyboard navigation, set the epyc-keyboard attribute to true. This will allow you to use your keyboard arrow keys to navigate between slides.
To move more than one slide at once, set the epyc-slides-per-group attribute. Settings its value to a number 3 will make your slider move 3 slides at once.
You can set this property for different breakpoints by using breakpoint-specific attributes:
epyc-slides-per-group- (Replace
| Attribute Name | Default Value | Possible Values | Description |
| ------------------------------- | ----------------- | ------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| epyc-slides-per-group | 1 | auto / number | Changes the number of slides that move together for all breakpoints |
| epyc-slides-per-group-desktop | 1 | auto / number | Changes the number of slides that move together for the desktop (screen width >= 992px) |
| epyc-slides-per-group-tablet | 1 | auto / number | Changes the number of slides that move together for the tablet(screen width >= 768px) |
| epyc-slides-per-group-landscape | 1 | auto / number | Changes the number of slides that move together for mobile landscape(screen width >= 479px) |
Yes, that is indeed possible. To enable mouse wheel navigation, set the epyc-mousewheel attribute to true. This will allow you to use your mouse scroll wheel to navigate between slides.
To enable free mode, set the epyc-free-mode attribute to true. This will allow you to swipe and scroll freely between slides, instead of being restricted to the defined slide positions.
This is useful when you want to make your slider more intuitive on mobile devices.
To enable an infinite loop, set the epyc-loop attribute to true. This will make the slider continuously loop through the slides, starting over at the beginning once it reaches the end.
To enable rewind, set the epyc-rewind attribute to true. This will allow the slider to jump to the first slide once it reaches the end.
> _Please note that this is different from epyc-loop property. When you enable epyc-loop the user won't be able to see the slide jumping, instead the first slide get automatically added to the next position giving the effect of continuous loop._
Yes, you can pass in the custom attribute epyc-auto-height with the value of true. Now the slider will change its height to match the height of the current slide.
---
There are several available effects that can be used to transition between slides, including slide (the default), fade, cube, coverflow,flip and cards . You can set the desired effect using the epyc-effect attribute.
Note: The fade , cube , flip and cards effects work only when there is just 1 slide in view.
| Attribute Name | Default Value | Possible Values | Description |
| ----------------------------------- | ----------------- | ------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------- |

Two sliders on the same page can be synced with each other so that any change in one of them triggers the same change in the other and vice versa.
1. Create two sliders on the same page.
2. Give the first slider the custom attribute of epyc-slider-link` and give it a value.
3. Add the same attribute with the same value on the second slider as well.
4. You're done! The two sliders are now synced with each other.
Note: To prevent unexpected behaviours with autoplay, only enable autoplay on one of the sliders.
