Before starting

You must import the Swiper CSS in your js file:

  <div class="swiper-wrapper">

Extending Controller

You can use inheritance to extend the functionality of any Stimulus component:

app/javascript/controllers/carousel_controller.js
import Carousel from "@stimulus-components/carousel"

export default class extends Carousel {
  connect() {
    super.connect()
    console.log("Do what you want here.")

    // The swiper instance.
    this.swiper

    // Default options for every carousels.
    this.defaultOptions
  }

  // You can set default options in this getter.
  get defaultOptions() {
    return {
      // Your default options here
    }
  }
}

This controller will automatically have access to targets defined in the parent class.

If you override the connect, disconnect or any other methods from the parent, you'll want to call super.method() to make sure the parent functionality is executed.
