  4. Create a script.js file. The file name must be script and its extension .js
Once you create these files, paste the given codes into the specified files. If you don’t want to do these then scroll down and download the source code of this Image Slider by clicking on the given download button.

    <script src="script.js" defer></script>
  </head>
  <body>
    <section class="wrapper">
      <i class="fa-solid fa-arrow-left button" id="prev"></i>
      <div class="image-container">
        <div class="carousel">
          <img src="images/image1.jpg" alt="" />
          <img src="images/image2.jpg" alt="" />
          <img src="images/image3.jpg" alt="" />
          <img src="images/image4.jpg" alt="" />
        </div>
        <i class="fa-solid fa-arrow-right button" id="next"></i>
      </div>
    </section>
  </body>
</html>

Second, paste the following codes into your style.css file.

* {
  margin: 0;
  padding: 0;
  box-sizing: border-box;
}
body {
  min-height: 100vh;
  display: flex;
  align-items: center;
  justify-content: center;
  background: #343f4f;
}
.wrapper {
  display: flex;
  max-width: 650px;
  width: 100%;
  height: 400px;
  background: #fff;
  align-items: center;
  justify-content: center;
  position: relative;
  border-radius: 12px;
  box-shadow: 0 5px 10px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.1);
}
.wrapper i.button {
  position: absolute;
  top: 50%;
  transform: translateY(-50%);
  height: 36px;
  width: 36px;
  background-color: #343f4f;
  border-radius: 50%;
  text-align: center;
  line-height: 36px;
  color: #fff;
  font-size: 15px;
  transition: all 0.3s linear;
  z-index: 100;
  cursor: pointer;
}
i.button:active {
  transform: scale(0.94) translateY(-50%);
}
i#prev {
  left: 25px;
}
i#next {
  right: 25px;
}
.image-container {
  height: 320px;
  max-width: 500px;
  width: 100%;
  overflow: hidden;
}
.image-container .carousel {
  display: flex;
  height: 100%;
  width: 100%;
  transition: all 0.4s ease;
}
.carousel img {
  height: 100%;
  width: 100%;
  border-radius: 18px;
  border: 10px solid #fff;
  object-fit: cover;
}

Third, paste the following codes into your script.js file.

// Get the DOM elements for the image carousel
const wrapper = document.querySelector(".wrapper"),
  carousel = document.querySelector(".carousel"),
  images = document.querySelectorAll("img"),
  buttons = document.querySelectorAll(".button");

let imageIndex = 1,
  intervalId;

// Define function to start automatic image slider
const autoSlide = () => {
  // Start the slideshow by calling slideImage() every 2 seconds
  intervalId = setInterval(() => slideImage(++imageIndex), 2000);
};
// Call autoSlide function on page load
autoSlide();

// A function that updates the carousel display to show the specified image
const slideImage = () => {
  // Calculate the updated image index
  imageIndex = imageIndex === images.length ? 0 : imageIndex < 0 ? images.length - 1 : imageIndex;
  // Update the carousel display to show the specified image
  carousel.style.transform = `translate(-${imageIndex * 100}%)`;
};

// A function that updates the carousel display to show the next or previous image
const updateClick = (e) => {
  // Stop the automatic slideshow
  clearInterval(intervalId);
  // Calculate the updated image index based on the button clicked
  imageIndex += e.target.id === "next" ? 1 : -1;
  slideImage(imageIndex);
  // Restart the automatic slideshow
  autoSlide();
};

// Add event listeners to the navigation buttons
buttons.forEach((button) => button.addEventListener("click", updateClick));

// Add mouseover event listener to wrapper element to stop auto sliding
wrapper.addEventListener("mouseover", () => clearInterval(intervalId));
// Add mouseleave event listener to wrapper element to start auto sliding again
wrapper.addEventListener("mouseleave", autoSlide);
