[META] Support more advanced slider libraries

Created on 7 May 2020, almost 5 years ago

Problem/Motivation

Current implementation around Bootstrap carousel works nice but lack many options, like responsiveness, lazy loading, etc. We need more implementations.

Did quick research around slick slider - it is very popular but not maintained any more (github#3689, github#3870 and github#3810 claiming that they are working on new release but that was 10 months ago without update), and based on jQuery.

So slick is not an option any more.

Our minimal requirements for slider library are:

vanila js
responsive/breakpoints
nice licence
lazy loading
peak - show a bit of previous and next slider
small as possible

Did research based on this requirements and found next implementations for now:

http://ganlanyuan.github.io/tiny-slider/ - have all requirements, 3.3k stars, size 31.2kb, active, MIT licence
https://github.com/glidejs/glide - missing lazy loading, 5.6k stars, size 23.9kb, not much activity, MIT licence
https://github.com/metafizzy/flickity - have all requirements, 6.3k stars, size 56.1kb, active, GPL3/Commercial licence
https://github.com/NickPiscitelli/Glider.js - missing lazy loading but have demo example for it, 2.4k stars, size 7.84kb, active, MIT licence

The first pick would be then tiny-slider.
