Build a slideshow app

Start with the Sprint-3/slideshow coursework linked in the issue and read its specification before creating the app entry point. Build the image carousel to satisfy the required first-image, navigation, looping, and at least-four-images criteria; treat the timed controls as stretch functionality. Verify each acceptance criterion manually in the browser.

Learning Objectives

• Develop a web app according to a specification
• Combine concepts covered in previous exercises

Why are we doing this?

These challenges are designed to develop your problem-solving skills.

In this exercise you will build an app which shows one image at a time from a collection. It must meet the criteria below:

Acceptance criteria

• Given a web page with a carousel of images
  When the page loads
  Then the first image in the carousel should be displayed

• Given forward and back buttons
  When the forward button is clicked
  Then the next image in the carousel should be displayed
  And
  When the back button is clicked
  Then the previous image in the carousel should be displayed

• Given at least 4 images in the carousel
  When the user reaches the end of the carousel in either direction
  Then the carousel should loop back to the first/last image

Advanced stretch functionality

• Given auto-forward and auto-back buttons
  When the auto-forward button is clicked
  Then the images should automatically advance every 5 seconds

• When the auto-back button is clicked
  Then the images should automatically go back every 5 seconds

• Given the carousel is auto-advancing (in either direction)
  When the stop button is clicked
  Then the auto-advance/go back should stop

• Given the carousel is auto-advancing (in either direction)
  When the forward button is clicked
  Then the auto-advance should stop
  And the next image should show
  (next = stop + forward)

• Given the carousel is auto-advancing (in either direction)
  When the back button is clicked
  Then the auto-advance should stop
  And the previous image should show
  (back = stop + back)
