How To Make A Responsive Card Slider Using React JS For Beginners

U-GINE MEDIA June 27, 2025

Welcome to my website U-GINE MEDIA. In this website I teach tutorials and share source code on some programming (HTML, CSS, JavaScript, React) tutorials. 

Before we get started, do well to subscribe to my channel to never miss out on any update that I post every single day.

You can also visit my GitHub where I upload all the code I have.

In this tutorial topic "How To Make A Responsive Card Slider Using React JS For Beginners", we will learn how to create it following these simple easy steps.

Share this to your programmer friends. If y'all learnt something today, make sure to let me in the comments. 

Get Source Code.

If interested in watching the video before running the code below, you can click the play button to get started.

Setting Up the Project

Before building the "Responsive Card Slider Using React JS" with React.js and CSS, ensure Node.js is installed on your computer. If not, download and install it from the official Node.js website.

Create a Project Folder:

  1. Make a new folder, for instance, “card-slider”.
  2. Open this folder in your VS Code editor.

Initialize the Project:

Open your terminal by pressing Ctrl + J and then use Vite to create a new React app with this command:

  npm create vite@latest ./ -- --template react


Install necessary dependencies and start the development server:

npm install
npm run dev

If your project is running in your browser, congratulations! You’ve successfully set up your app. Now, let’s move on to modifying folders and files.

Modify folder and CSS Files:

  1. Remove the default assets folder and App.css file.
  2. Replace the content of index.css with the provided CSS code.


@import url('https://fonts.googleapis.com/css2?family=Poppins:wght@100;300;400;500;700&display=swap');

* {
  margin: 0;
  padding: 0;
  box-sizing: border-box;
  font-family: "Poppins", sans-serif;
}


Creating the Files

Within the src directory of your project, create the following files:
  1. CardSlider.jsx
  2. CardSlider.css

Adding the Codes

Add the respective code to each newly created file to define the layout.

In src/CardSlider.jsx, add the code.

import React, { useState } from 'react';
import "./CardSlider.css"
import user1 from "./assets/user-1.jpg";
import user2 from "./assets/user-2.jpg";
import user3 from "./assets/user-3.jpg";
import user4 from "./assets/user-4.jpg";
import user5 from "./assets/user-5.jpg";

  const getCardStyle = (index) => {
    const position = index - currentIndex;
    const baseZ = -Math.abs(position);
    const scale = position === 0 ? 1.2 : 0.8;
    const opacity = position === 0 ? 1 : 0.4;
    const translateX = position * 120;
    return {
      transform: `translateX(${translateX}%) scale(${scale})`,
      zIndex: 100 + baseZ,
      opacity,
    };
  };
