Multiple Bootstrap Card Sliders On Same Page

When using multiple Bootstrap card sliders on the same page, the controls interfere with the other Bootstrap carousels. Let’s fix that.

Final output:


1. Make sure you have different ids for each carousel and its respective controls. Wrap your Bootstrap card sliders in a div with a common class name.

Update: Set data-bs-ride to false

<div class="multiple-card-slider">
    <div id="carouselExampleControls" class="carousel" data-bs-ride="false">
        ...
    </div>
</div>
<div class="multiple-card-slider">
    <div id="carouselExampleControls2" class="carousel" data-bs-ride="false">
        ...
    </div>
</div>
<div class="multiple-card-slider">
    <div id="carouselExampleControls3" class="carousel" data-bs-ride="false">
        ...
    </div>
</div>

Update the CSS as well.

.multiple-card-slider .carousel-inner {
  padding: 1em;
}
.multiple-card-slider .card {
  margin: 0 0.5em;
  box-shadow: 2px 6px 8px 0 rgba(22, 22, 26, 0.18);
  border: none;
}
.multiple-card-slider .carousel-control-prev,
.multiple-card-slider .carousel-control-next {
  background-color: #e1e1e1;
  width: 3em;
  height: 3em;
  border-radius: 50%;
  top: 50%;
  transform: translateY(-50%);
}
@media (min-width: 768px) {
  .multiple-card-slider .carousel-item {
    margin-right: 0;
    flex: 0 0 calc(100% / 3);
    display: block;
    backface-visibility: visible;
  }
  .multiple-card-slider .carousel-inner {
    display: flex;
  }
}

Output:

2. Now to make it work, let’s loop through each of our multiple card carousels.

$('.multiple-card-slider .carousel').each(function(){

});

Get the id and store it in a variable(currentCarouselId). Let’s also add the # to it.

var currentCarouselId = '#' + $(this).attr('id');

Use the currentCarouselId instead of the fixed one.

$('.multiple-card-slider .carousel').each(function(){
    var currentCarouselId = '#' + $(this).attr('id');
    const multipleItemCarousel = document.querySelector(currentCarouselId);

    if(window.matchMedia("(min-width:576px)").matches){
        const carousel = new bootstrap.Carousel(multipleItemCarousel, {
            interval: false,
            wrap: false
        })
        var carouselWidth = $(currentCarouselId + ' .carousel-inner')[0].scrollWidth;
        var cardWidth = $(currentCarouselId + ' .carousel-item').width();
        var scrollPosition = 0;    
        $(currentCarouselId + ' .carousel-control-next').on('click', function(){
            if(scrollPosition < (carouselWidth - (cardWidth * 4))){
                console.log('next');
                scrollPosition = scrollPosition + cardWidth;
                $(currentCarouselId + ' .carousel-inner').animate({scrollLeft: scrollPosition},600);
            }
        });
        $(currentCarouselId + ' .carousel-control-prev').on('click', function(){
            if(scrollPosition > 0){
                console.log('prev');
                scrollPosition = scrollPosition - cardWidth;
                $(currentCarouselId + ' .carousel-inner').animate({scrollLeft: scrollPosition},600);
            }
        });
    }else{
        $(multipleItemCarousel).addClass('slide');
    }
});
