How to create Image Slider in ReactJS?

Image Slider means showing image collection with next button so that user can move to next pictures with that button. It is the most common feature to show image collection in Web Applications or mobile apps. Material UI for React has this component available for us and it is very easy to integrate. We can use MobileStepper Component in ReactJS using the following approach.

Project Structure

App.js: Now write down the following code in the App.js file. Here, App is our default component where we have written our code.

Javascript

import React from "react";
import Button from "@material-ui/core/Button";
import MobileStepper from "@material-ui/core/MobileStepper";
import Paper from "@material-ui/core/Paper";
import KeyboardArrowRight from "@material-ui/icons/KeyboardArrowRight";
import Typography from "@material-ui/core/Typography";
import { useTheme } from "@material-ui/core/styles";
import KeyboardArrowLeft from "@material-ui/icons/KeyboardArrowLeft";

const MyCollection = [
  {
    label: "First Picture",
    imgPath:
"https://media.geeksforgeeks.org/wp-content/uploads/20210208000010/1.png",
  },
  {
    label: "Second Picture",
    imgPath:
"https://media.geeksforgeeks.org/wp-content/uploads/20210208000009/2.png",
  },
  {
    label: "Third Picture",
    imgPath:
"https://media.geeksforgeeks.org/wp-content/uploads/20210208000008/3.png",
  },
];

const App = () => {
  const CollectionSize = MyCollection.length;
  const theme = useTheme();
  const [index, setActiveStep] = React.useState(0);

  const goToNextPicture = () => {
    setActiveStep((prevActiveStep) => prevActiveStep + 1);
  };

  return (
    <div
      style={{
        marginLeft: "40%",
      }}
    >
      <h2>How to Create Image Slider in ReactJS?</h2>
      <div

          flexGrow: 1,
        }}
      >
        <Paper
          square
          elevation={0}
          style={{
            height: 50,
            display: "flex",
            paddingLeft: theme.spacing(4),
            backgroundColor: theme.palette.background.default,
            alignItems: "center",
          }}
        >
          <Typography>{MyCollection[index].label}</Typography>
        </Paper>
        <img
          src={MyCollection[index].imgPath}
          style={{
            height: 255,
            width: "100%",
            maxWidth: 400,
            display: "block",
            overflow: "hidden",
          }}
          alt={MyCollection[index].label}
        />
        <MobileStepper
          variant="text"
          position="static"
          index={index}
          steps={CollectionSize}
          nextButton={
            <Button
              size="small"
              onClick={goToNextPicture}
              disabled={index === CollectionSize - 1}
            >
              Next
              {theme.direction !== "rtl" ? (
                <KeyboardArrowRight />
              ) : (
                <KeyboardArrowLeft />
              )}
            </Button>
          }
        />
      </div>
    </div>
  );
};

export default App;

Step to Run Application: Run the application using the following command from the root directory of the project:

npm start

Output: Now open your browser and go to http://localhost:3000/, you will see the following output.
