In this article, I am going to describe about how to create cube slider using effect option of swiper.js.
I will also explain how to make detailed adjustments using cubeEffect.
I’ｍ going to pursue the matter on the premise that you know how to make normal slider with Swiper.js. So if you are new to Swiper.js, firstly check the below article.

①Create a normal swiper slider
To make it clear, we will create normal swiper slider first and then make changes.
<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/swiper@8/swiper-bundle.min.css">
<script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/swiper@8/swiper-bundle.min.js"></script>
<style>
.sample-slider{
width:50%;
}
.sample-slider img{
width: 100%;
}
</style>
<div class="swiper sample-slider">
<div class="swiper-wrapper">
<div class="swiper-slide"><img src="img/sample1.png"></div>
<div class="swiper-slide"><img src="img/sample2.png"></div>
<div class="swiper-slide"><img src="img/sample3.png"></div>
<div class="swiper-slide"><img src="img/sample4.png"></div>
</div>
<div class="swiper-pagination"></div>
<div class="swiper-button-prev"></div>
<div class="swiper-button-next"></div>
</div>
<script>
const swiper = new Swiper('.sample-slider', {
loop: true, //loop
autoplay: { //autoplay
delay: 2000,
},
pagination: { //pagination(dots)
el: '.swiper-pagination',
},
navigation: { //navigation(arrows)
nextEl: ".swiper-button-next",
prevEl: ".swiper-button-prev",
},
})
</script>Now we can see normal slider.
②Make the slider cube
Set effect option “cube” to make the slider cube.
Intidentally, lets set grabCursor option and speed option.
const swiper = new Swiper('.sample-slider', {
loop: true,
effect: "cube", //add(make slider cube
grabCursor: true, //add(grab cursor
speed: 1500, //add(slide speed
autoplay: {
delay: 2000,
},
pagination: {
el: '.swiper-pagination',
},
navigation: {
nextEl: ".swiper-button-next",
prevEl: ".swiper-button-prev",
},
})The slider has become cube.
③Fine adjustments by the cubeEffect option
When specifying effect: “cube”, you can make fine adjustments using the cubeEffect option.
The available options that can be specified with cubeEffect are as follows:
| option | type | default | description |
|---|---|---|---|
| slideShadows | boolean | true | Presence of shadows on the slide surface |
| shadow | boolean | true | Presence of shadows below the slide |
| shadowOffset | number | 20 | Position of shadows below the slide (in pixels) |
| shadowScale | number | 0.94 | Size Ratio of shadows below the slide (0~1) |
Let’s take a look at an example using the cubeEffect option.
const swiper = new Swiper('.sample-slider', {
loop: true,
effect: "cube",
cubeEffect: { // added
slideShadows: true, // added（Presence of shadows on the slide surface
shadow: true, // added（Presence of shadows below the slide
shadowOffset: 100, // added（Position of shadows below the slide (in pixels)
shadowScale: 1, // added（Size Ratio of shadows below the slide (0~1)
}, // added
grabCursor: true,
speed: 1500,
autoplay: {
delay: 2000,
},
pagination: {
el: '.swiper-pagination',
},
navigation: {
nextEl: ".swiper-button-next",
prevEl: ".swiper-button-prev",
},
})
We are maximizing the size ratio of shadows below the slide and moving the shadow position further downwards.

},
navigation: { //navigation(arrows)

},
})
