## About
This is a carousel component for Angular using Material Design. See [live demo](https://ssegning-titans.gitlab.io/angular-material-carousel/).

### History and current status

This is a fork and prolongation of the discontinued [```@ngmodule/material-carousel``` by Gabriel Sanches](https://github.com/gbrlsnchs/material2-carousel).

The current development goal is to keep the package secure and compatible with the most recent Angular version. 

PR's are welcomed; including bugfixes, upgrades and enhancements.

#### Size Considerations and Recommendations
By default, `maintainAspectRatio` is true, which means height is controlled through `proportion`.

If you want to have a carousel with constant height (regardless of width), you must set `maintainAspectRatio` to false.

By default, `slideHeight` is set to `100%`, which will not work if the parent element height isn't defined (i.e. relative heights do not work if the parent height is `auto`). In that case you could pass a valid css string for `slideHeight`. You can use any valid css height string like `100px` or `25vh`.

Play around with the [demo](https://ssegning-titans.gitlab.io/angular-material-carousel) to see how you can use this carousel with or without explicit parent height.

**With parent elements that have height:auto**
* use `proportion` if you want a carousel that resizes responsively (this is the default configuration).
* use `maintainAspectRatio="false"` and a non-percentage `slideHeight` if you want a fixed height carousel.
* **DO NOT** use relative (%) values for `slideHeight`; the carousel will not render.

**With parent elements that have a set height**
* use `maintainAspectRatio="false"` if you want a fixed height carousel that fills the parent element (`slideHeight` is `100%` by default).
* **DO NOT** use `maintainAspectRatio="false"` **and** `slideHeight` (unless `slideHeight="100%"`); the carousel will not render correctly because the buttons and indicators will be positioned with respect to the parent.
* **DO NOT** use `proportion`; this will lead to gaps or unwanted overflow.
