Swiper
==========

Swiper - is the free and most modern mobile touch slider with hardware accelerated transitions and amazing native behavior. It is intended to be used in mobile websites, mobile web apps, and mobile native/hybrid apps. Designed mostly for iOS, but also works great on latest Android, Windows Phone 8 and modern Desktop browsers

Swiper is not compatible with all platforms, it is a modern touch slider which is focused only on modern apps/platforms to bring the best experience and simplicity.

# Dist / Build

On production use files (JS and CSS) only from `dist/` folder, there will be the most stable versions, `build/` folder is only for development purpose

### Build

Swiper uses `gulp` to build a development (build) and dist versions.

First you need to have `gulp-cli` which you should install globally.

```
$ npm install --global gulp
```

Then install all dependencies, in repo's root:

```
$ npm install
```

And build development version of Swiper:
```
$ gulp build
```

The result is available in `build/` folder.

### Dist/Release

After you have made build:

```
$ gulp dist
```

Distributable version will available in `dist/` folder.

# Contributing

All changes should be committed to `src/` files. Swiper uses LESS for CSS compliations, and concatenated JS files (look at gulpfile.js for concat files order)
