its smooth slides but looping stop after sometime
1. **Set a Fixed Autoplay Delay**: Ensure that the `autoplay` settings are properly configured. You can add a `disableOnInteraction` property set to `false` to keep the autoplay running even after user interactions.
2. **Check for Infinite Looping**: If the `loop` option is set to `true`, ensure that the total number of slides is more than the `slidesPerView` to maintain the loop without interruption.
3. **Adjusting Speed**: A very high speed (like `8000`) can cause the looping effect to become less noticeable. You may want to set it to a lower value to maintain a smooth appearance.
Here’s the revised code:
var swiper = new Swiper(".swiperslides", {
slidesPerView: 3,
spaceBetween: 30,
loop: true, // Enable infinite looping
speed: 3000, // Adjusted speed for smoothness
allowTouchMove: false, // Disable manual swiping
loopAdditionalSlides: 5, // Prevent gaps during looping
autoplay: {
delay: 0, // No delay between movements
disableOnInteraction: false, // Keep autoplay running after interactions
},
on: {
beforeInit: function (swiper) {
swiper.wrapperEl.style.transitionTimingFunction = "linear"; // Set smooth linear scrolling
},
},
breakpoints: {
0: {
slidesPerView: 1.2,
spaceBetween: 10,
},
1024: {
slidesPerView: 3,
spaceBetween: 30,
},
},
});### Additional Tips:
– **Ensure there are enough slides**: The total number of slides should exceed the number of visible slides. If you have only three slides, for example, the looping effect might not work as intended.
– **Test with different browsers**: Sometimes browser-specific issues can affect how scripts run. Test your Swiper implementation on different browsers to see if the problem persists.
– **Check for JavaScript errors**: Inspect the console for any JavaScript errors that may be affecting the behavior of your Swiper instance.
By making these adjustments, you should be able to maintain a smooth, continuous looping effect for your Swiper slides.
### 1. Modify the `loopAdditionalSlides`
The `loopAdditionalSlides` option allows you to add extra slides for smooth looping. Make sure you have enough slides in your Swiper instance. Try increasing this value, especially if you have a limited number of slides.
### 2. Use `cssMode` for Smooth Scrolling
You can set the `cssMode` property to `true`, which can help with smooth scrolling:
var swiper = new Swiper(".swiperslides", {
slidesPerView: 3,
spaceBetween: 30,
loop: true, // Enable infinite looping
speed: 3000, // Adjusted speed for smoothness
allowTouchMove: false, // Disable manual swiping
loopAdditionalSlides: 5, // Prevent gaps during looping
autoplay: {
delay: 0, // No delay between movements
disableOnInteraction: false, // Keep autoplay running after interactions
},
cssMode: true, // Enable CSS mode for smooth scrolling
on: {
beforeInit: function (swiper) {
swiper.wrapperEl.style.transitionTimingFunction = "linear"; // Set smooth linear scrolling
},
},
breakpoints: {
0: {
slidesPerView: 1.2,
spaceBetween: 10,
},
1024: {
slidesPerView: 3,
spaceBetween: 30,
},
},
});### 3. Manually Restart Autoplay
If the autoplay stops after a while, you can manually restart it by listening for the `autoplay` event and calling the `swiper.autoplay.start()` method. Here's how to set that up:
var swiper = new Swiper(".swiperslides", {
slidesPerView: 3,
spaceBetween: 30,
loop: true,
speed: 3000,
allowTouchMove: false,
loopAdditionalSlides: 5,
autoplay: {
delay: 0,
disableOnInteraction: false,
},
cssMode: true,
on: {
beforeInit: function (swiper) {
swiper.wrapperEl.style.transitionTimingFunction = "linear";
},
// Listen for the autoplay stop event
autoplay: {
// Restart autoplay when it stops
stop: function () {
swiper.autoplay.start();
},
},
},
breakpoints: {
0: {
slidesPerView: 1.2,
spaceBetween: 10,
},
1024: {
slidesPerView: 3,
spaceBetween: 30,
},
},
});### 4. Inspect for Interfering Code
Check if there are any other scripts or CSS styles that might be interfering with the Swiper's behavior. Sometimes, additional JavaScript code or CSS can cause unexpected results.
### 5. Update Swiper Version
Ensure you are using the latest version of Swiper.js. If you are using an older version, consider updating to the latest stable release as it may contain bug fixes and improvements.
### 6. Test with Fewer Slides
If you're working with many slides, try simplifying your setup temporarily by reducing the number of slides to see if that affects the behavior. This can help determine if the problem is related to the number of slides or another factor.
By implementing these strategies, you should be able to maintain a smoother, continuous looping effect in your Swiper instance. If you continue to experience issues, it may be helpful to check the Swiper.js documentation or forums for any specific known issues with the version you're using.
### 1. Enable `autoplay` with a Set Delay
Try setting a small delay in the `autoplay` configuration instead of zero. This can sometimes help maintain a smoother transition:
var swiper = new Swiper(".swiperslides", {
slidesPerView: 3,
spaceBetween: 30,
loop: true, // Enable infinite looping
speed: 3000, // Adjusted speed for smoothness
allowTouchMove: false, // Disable manual swiping
loopAdditionalSlides: 5, // Prevent gaps during looping
autoplay: {
delay: 2000, // Set a short delay for better autoplay handling
disableOnInteraction: false, // Keep autoplay running after interactions
},
cssMode: true, // Enable CSS mode for smooth scrolling
on: {
beforeInit: function (swiper) {
swiper.wrapperEl.style.transitionTimingFunction = "linear"; // Set smooth linear scrolling
},
init: function () {
this.autoplay.start(); // Start autoplay after initialization
},
},
breakpoints: {
0: {
slidesPerView: 1.2,
spaceBetween: 10,
},
1024: {
slidesPerView: 3,
spaceBetween: 30,
},
},
});### 2. Use the `slideChangeTransitionEnd` Event
You can add an event listener for the `slideChangeTransitionEnd` event to ensure the autoplay continues smoothly:
var swiper = new Swiper(".swiperslides", {
slidesPerView: 3,
spaceBetween: 30,
loop: true,
speed: 3000,
allowTouchMove: false,
loopAdditionalSlides: 5,
autoplay: {
delay: 2000, // Set a short delay for better autoplay handling
disableOnInteraction: false,
},
cssMode: true,
on: {
beforeInit: function (swiper) {
swiper.wrapperEl.style.transitionTimingFunction = "linear";
},
slideChangeTransitionEnd: function () {
this.autoplay.start(); // Ensure autoplay continues
},
},
breakpoints: {
0: {
slidesPerView: 1.2,
spaceBetween: 10,
},
1024: {
slidesPerView: 3,
spaceBetween: 30,
},
},
});### 3. Check for External CSS Interference
Sometimes, CSS rules can interfere with the animations. Make sure that no external styles are affecting the Swiper's container or slides. You can inspect the elements using your browser's developer tools to check for any unintended styles.
### 4. Inspect for JavaScript Errors
Open the browser console (F12) and check for any JavaScript errors that might be preventing Swiper from working correctly.
### 5. Update Swiper Library
Make sure you are using the latest version of Swiper.js. If not, update it and test again.
### 6. Minimal Reproduction
If the issue persists, create a minimal example with only the Swiper implementation in a separate HTML file to isolate the problem. This can help you identify if the issue is with Swiper itself or due to interaction with other scripts/styles in your main project.
Here’s a simple example to try:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://unpkg.com/swiper/swiper-bundle.min.css" />
<title>Swiper Test</title>
<style>
.swiper {
width: 100%;
height: 300px;
}
.swiper-slide {
background: #009688;
display: flex;
justify-content: center;
align-items: center;
font-size: 18px;
color: white;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<div class="swiper 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>
<div class="swiper-slide">Slide 4</div>
<div class="swiper-slide">Slide 5</div>
</div>
</div>
<script src="https://unpkg.com/swiper/swiper-bundle.min.js"></script>
<script>
var swiper = new Swiper(".swiperslides", {
slidesPerView: 3,
spaceBetween: 30,
loop: true,
speed: 3000,
allowTouchMove: false,
loopAdditionalSlides: 5,
autoplay: {
delay: 2000,
disableOnInteraction: false,
},
cssMode: true,
on: {
beforeInit: function (swiper) {
swiper.wrapperEl.style.transitionTimingFunction = "linear";
},
},
breakpoints: {
0: {
slidesPerView: 1.2,
spaceBetween: 10,
},
1024: {
slidesPerView: 3,
spaceBetween: 30,
},
},
});
</script>

### Key Considerations for Continuous Looping
1. **Ensure Enough Slides**: The total number of slides must be greater than `slidesPerView`. For example, if you have `slidesPerView: 3`, you need at least 4 or 5 slides to achieve continuous looping.
2. **Check for Correct CSS Styles**: Make sure the CSS for the Swiper container and slides does not inadvertently restrict the height or width.
3. **Update Swiper and Check for Conflicts**: Ensure you're using the latest version of Swiper. Conflicts with other JavaScript libraries could potentially affect Swiper’s functionality.
4. **Debug Using a Minimal Setup**: Create a very simple setup with only Swiper to isolate issues. This helps identify if the problem is with the Swiper setup or something in your larger project.
### Working Example
Here’s a refined, working example that you can test in isolation:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://unpkg.com/swiper/swiper-bundle.min.css" />

}
.swiper-slide {
background: #009688;
display: flex;
justify-content: center;
align-items: center;
font-size: 18px;
color: white;
height: 100%; /* Ensure slides have consistent height */
}
</style>

</div>
<!-- Add Pagination (optional) -->
<div class="swiper-pagination"></div>
</div>
<script src="https://unpkg.com/swiper/swiper-bundle.min.js"></script>
<script>
var swiper = new Swiper(".swiperslides", {
slidesPerView: 3, // Show 3 slides at a time
spaceBetween: 30, // Space between slides
loop: true, // Enable infinite looping
speed: 5000, // Adjust speed for smoothness
autoplay: {
delay: 0, // Set to 0 for continuous scroll
disableOnInteraction: false, // Keep autoplay running after interactions
},
cssMode: true, // Enable CSS mode for smoother transitions
on: {
beforeInit: function (swiper) {
swiper.wrapperEl.style.transitionTimingFunction = "linear"; // Set linear timing for smooth scrolling
},
},
breakpoints: {
0: {
slidesPerView: 1.2,
spaceBetween: 10,
},
1024: {
slidesPerView: 3,
spaceBetween: 30,
},
},
});
</script>
</body>
</html>### Important Steps:
1. **Test in Isolation**: Copy the above code into a new HTML file and open it in your browser. This ensures that no other scripts/styles are interfering.
2. **Check Browser Console**: Ensure there are no JavaScript errors in the console that could affect Swiper's behavior.
3. **Increase Slide Count**: If necessary, add more slides to see if it resolves the looping issue.
### Additional Debugging Steps:
– **Inspect the Swiper Container**: Make sure that the `.swiper` and `.swiper-slide` elements are properly sized and displayed in the browser.
– **Browser Compatibility**: Try testing in different browsers (Chrome, Firefox, Edge) to see if the issue persists across them.
– **Network Issues**: Ensure that the Swiper library is loading correctly without any network errors.
If you try the above example and it still doesn't work, there may be an underlying issue with your environment or other conflicting scripts. Please let me know how it goes!
