...

'components/_slide/autorotation
'components/_slide/navigation
'components/_slide/pagination

Next-gen teasers

This release introduces a refactor for slider-based components, like image-teasers and products-carousels, as well as the new structure and architecture for product tile. It gets rid of a Swiper library, replacing JS-based slider with modern CSS solutions and simplyfing product-tile. Next-gen image teasers introduc native lazy laoding instead of script lazy-laoding, native aspect-ratio instead of padding hack. Html elements were reduced and semantic of code was improved in order to make teasers accessible for screen readers and keyboard .
