To position the Swiper slider on the left side of the page, you can wrap it in a container with a `flexbox` layout or apply appropriate `CSS` styling. Here’s how you can do it:

### HTML Structure

<div class="container">
  <div class="swiperslides">
    <div class="swiper-wrapper">
      <div class="swiper-slide">Slide 1</div>
      <div class="swiper-slide">Slide 2</div>
      <div class="swiper-slide">Slide 3</div>
      <!-- Add more slides here -->
    </div>
  </div>
</div>

### CSS for Layout

.container {
  display: flex;
  justify-content: flex-start; /* Align content to the left */
  align-items: center; /* Center vertically */
  height: 100vh; /* Full height */
  padding-left: 20px; /* Optional padding from the left */
}

.swiperslides {
  width: 50%; /* Adjust as needed */
}

.swiper-slide {
  text-align: center;
  font-size: 18px;
  background: #ddd; /* Add a background color for visualization */
  display: flex;
  justify-content: center;
  align-items: center;
  height: 200px; /* Adjust slide height */
}

### Updated Swiper Initialization
Your existing Swiper initialization script should work without modifications:

var swiper = new Swiper(".swiperslides", {
  slidesPerView: 3,
  spaceBetween: 30,
  centeredSlides: true,
  autoplay: {
    delay: 2500,
    disableOnInteraction: false,
  },
  pagination: false,
});

This setup ensures the Swiper slider is positioned on the left side of the screen while allowing it to function normally. Adjust the `width` and `padding` values in the `.swiperslides` and `.container` styles as necessary.

swiper slider rtl

To make the Swiper slider work in **RTL (right-to-left)** mode, Swiper provides a `direction` option that you can set to `"rtl"`. Here's how you can do it:

### Updated Swiper Initialization for RTL

var swiper = new Swiper(".swiperslides", {
  slidesPerView: 3,
  spaceBetween: 30,
  centeredSlides: true,
  direction: "rtl", // Enable RTL mode
  autoplay: {
    delay: 2500,
    disableOnInteraction: false,
  },
  pagination: false,
});

### CSS for RTL
Ensure the container is set up for **RTL** by applying the `direction: rtl;` CSS property. This helps in aligning the content properly.

body {
  direction: rtl; /* Sets the entire page to RTL mode */
}

.swiperslides {
  direction: rtl; /* Ensures Swiper works in RTL layout */
}

.swiper-slide {
  text-align: center;
  font-size: 18px;
  background: #ddd; /* Example background */
  display: flex;
  justify-content: center;
  align-items: center;
  height: 200px; /* Adjust as needed */
}

### Important Notes
1. Swiper handles RTL natively, so adding the `direction: rtl` option will reverse the slide order and scrolling direction.
2. The `direction: rtl;` CSS property on the `.swiperslides` container helps ensure proper visual alignment.
3. If you want only the slider to be in RTL while the rest of the page remains LTR, apply `direction: rtl;` specifically to the `.swiperslides` container instead of the entire page.

This configuration will enable a smooth RTL slider experience.

To achieve the effect where the middle slide is shown at 100% width and the left and right slides are scaled down to 70%, you can use Swiper's `slidesPerView`, `spaceBetween`, and custom CSS to scale the slides using the `transform` property.

Here’s the implementation:

### Swiper Initialization

var swiper = new Swiper(".swiperslides", {
  slidesPerView: 3,
  spaceBetween: 30,
  centeredSlides: true,
  autoplay: {
    delay: 2500,
    disableOnInteraction: false,
  },
  pagination: false,
  on: {
    slideChangeTransitionStart: function () {
      scaleSlides(); // Scale slides on transition start
    },
    init: function () {
      scaleSlides(); // Scale slides when Swiper initializes
    },
  },
});

// Function to scale slides
function scaleSlides() {
  const slides = document.querySelectorAll(".swiper-slide");
  slides.forEach((slide) => slide.style.transform = "scale(0.7)"); // Scale down all slides

  // Highlight the center slide
  const activeSlide = document.querySelector(".swiper-slide-active");
  if (activeSlide) {
    activeSlide.style.transform = "scale(1)"; // Scale up the active slide
  }
}

### CSS for Transition
Add smooth transitions for the scaling effect:

.swiper-slide {
  transition: transform 0.3s ease-in-out;
}

### Explanation
1. **JavaScript Logic**:
– All slides are initially scaled down to 70% (`scale(0.7)`).
– The active slide (center slide) is scaled up to 100% (`scale(1)`).
– This scaling happens dynamically during transitions and on initialization.

2. **CSS Transitions**:
– The `transition` property ensures the scaling effect is smooth.

3. **Responsive Behavior**:
– You can adjust the `slidesPerView` or `spaceBetween` properties to suit different screen sizes.

### Demo Outcome
– The center slide will appear larger (100% scale).
– The left and right slides will appear smaller (70% scale).
– The effect will transition smoothly as the slides move.

all with equal equal height and left and right will show 70% part

To make the Swiper slider always display three slides per view, where the middle slide is fully visible (100%) and the left and right slides are partially visible (showing 70% of their width), you can use the `slidesPerView` and custom CSS for proper alignment.

Here’s how to achieve this:

### Swiper Initialization

var swiper = new Swiper(".swiperslides", {
  slidesPerView: 3, // Display 3 slides
  spaceBetween: 0, // No space between slides
  centeredSlides: true, // Center the active slide
  autoplay: {
    delay: 2500,
    disableOnInteraction: false,
  },
  pagination: false,
});

### CSS

/* Swiper container styling */
.swiperslides {
  width: 100%; /* Full width container */
  max-width: 800px; /* Adjust as needed for your layout */
  margin: 0 auto; /* Center the Swiper */
}

/* Swiper slide styling */
.swiper-slide {
  height: 300px; /* Equal height for all slides */
  display: flex;
  align-items: center;
  justify-content: center;
  background: #ddd; /* Background for visualization */
  transform: scale(0.7); /* Scale down by default */
  transition: transform 0.3s ease-in-out; /* Smooth transition */
}

/* Active slide styling */
.swiper-slide-active {
  transform: scale(1); /* Scale to 100% */
  z-index: 1; /* Ensure the active slide appears on top */
}

### Explanation
1. **Swiper Initialization**:
– `slidesPerView: 3`: Ensures three slides are visible at all times.
– `centeredSlides: true`: Centers the active slide.
– `spaceBetween: 0`: Removes gaps between the slides.

2. **CSS Scaling**:
– All slides are scaled down to `70%` (`transform: scale(0.7)`).
– The active slide (center slide) is scaled up to `100%` (`transform: scale(1)`).
– `transition` ensures a smooth scaling effect.

3. **Equal Heights**:
– The `height: 300px` ensures all slides have equal height.
– Adjust the height value to fit your layout.

### Responsive Adjustments
To ensure it looks good on all screen sizes, use media queries:

@media (max-width: 768px) {
  .swiper-slide {
    height: 200px; /* Adjust height for smaller screens */
  }
}

This setup creates a visually appealing slider with a focus on the active slide, and the left and right slides partially visible at 70% width.
