Creating a dashboard that combines interactive elements like sliders and a music player can enhance user experience significantly. This tutorial will guide you through building a responsive and feature-rich dashboard using HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. By the end of this guide, you'll have a functional dashboard that is both visually appealing and highly interactive.

Source Code

Step 1 (HTML Code):

Before we dive into coding, let's set up our project environment. Start by creating a new folder for your project. Inside this folder, create three files: index.html, styles.css, and script.js. These files will hold the HTML structure, CSS styling, and JavaScript functionality, respectively. Open your favorite code editor and load these files to begin.

To create the layout, open index.html and add the basic HTML structure. This includes the <!DOCTYPE html>, <html>, <head>, and <body> tags. Inside the <head>, link the CSS and JavaScript files

Let's break down the structure and components of the HTML code:

1. HTML Document Setup:

  • <!DOCTYPE html>: Defines the document as HTML5.
  • <html lang="en">: Sets the language of the document to English.

2. Head Section:

  • <meta charset="UTF-8">: Sets the character encoding to UTF-8.
  • <meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=edge">: Ensures compatibility with Internet Explorer.
  • <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">: Ensures proper scaling on different devices.
  • <title>Dashboard with Sliders and Music Player</title>: Sets the title of the web page.
  • Link tags to external stylesheets for Font Awesome icons and Swiper.js, as well as a local CSS file (styles.css).

3. Body Section:

Main Tag: <main> contains the primary content of the page.

Navigation Menu:

  • <nav class="main-menu"> contains user information and navigation links.
  • User Info: Displays a user image and name.
  • Menu Items: Includes links for Discover, Trending, Album, Playlist, Favorites, Profile, Settings, and Logout, each with a Font Awesome icon.

4. Content Section

Left Content:

  • Slider for Playlists:
    • Uses Swiper.js to create a slider.
    • Each slide contains an image, overlay with playlist name, and a "Listen Now" button.
  • Featured Artists: Displays a grid of featured artists with images and names.
  • Recommended Albums: Displays a grid of recommended albums with images and titles.

Right Content:

  • Recommended Songs: Displays a list of songs with images, titles, artists, and durations.
  • Music Player:
    • Album Cover: Displays a rotating album cover.
    • Song Information: Displays the current song's title and artist.
    • Audio Element: <audio id="song"> contains the audio source.
    • Progress Bar: <input type="range" value="0" id="progress" /> for the song's progress.
    • Controls: Includes buttons for play/pause, forward, and backward with corresponding icons.

5. External Resources:

  1. Font Awesome: Provides icons for navigation and controls.
  2. Swiper.js: A JavaScript library for creating modern sliders.
  3. Local CSS and JS files: For custom styling and functionality.

Step 2 (CSS Code):

With the HTML structure in place, move to styles.css to style the dashboard.

Let's break it down:

1. @import: This rule imports an external stylesheet from Google Fonts to include the Nunito and Roboto fonts for use in the webpage.

2. Universal Reset: The *, *::before, and *::after selectors are used to apply box-sizing and reset padding and margins to all elements on the page, ensuring consistent layout behavior.

3. Navigation Styling: Styles for the navigation bar, including disabling text selection and removing outlines from navigation items.

4. Image Styling: Ensures images fill their containers (width: 100%).

5. Font and Body Styling: Defines the default font family for the page and sets up the body to display as a flex container with centered content and a minimum height of the viewport. It also sets a background image with specific properties like no-repeat and cover.

6. Main Menu Styling: Styles the main menu container with a grid layout, background color, backdrop filter, border, border radius, and box-shadow.

7. Content Styling: Sets up grid layout for the main content area.

8. Left Content Styling: Styles for the left content area, including padding and text color.

9. Slider Styling: Styles for a slider container, slides, and pagination.

10. Containers for Artists and Albums: Styles for containers holding artist and album information, including flex layout, padding, and overflow behavior.

11. Artists and Albums Styling: Styles for individual artist and album elements, including image size, border radius, and text styling.

12. Scrollbar Styling: Custom styling for scrollbar appearance.

13. Right Content Styling: Styles for the right content area, including padding, color, and border.

14. Recommended Songs Styling: Styles for recommended songs section, including margin and text styling.

15. Song Styling: Styles for individual song elements, including grid layout and padding.

16. Music Player Styling: Styles for the music player section, including background, border radius, and padding.

17. Album Cover Styling: Styles for the album cover image, including border-radius, border, and box-shadow.

18. Point Styling: Styles for a point element within the album cover.

19. Music Player Controls Styling: Styles for the music player controls, including button appearance, margin, and hover effects.

20. Media Queries: Media queries are used to apply different styles based on the screen width, allowing the layout to adjust responsively for various devices.

Step 3 (JavaScript Code):

Now it's time to add functionality using JavaScript. Open script.js and start by selecting the necessary elements. Then, implement the logic for the sliders and music player.

Let's break down this JavaScript code step by step.

1. Navigation Item Click Handling

const navItems = document.querySelectorAll(".nav-item");
navItems.forEach((navItem, i) => {
  navItem.addEventListener("click", () => {
    navItems.forEach((item, j) => {
      item.className = "nav-item";
    });
    navItem.className = "nav-item active";
  });
});

Selection of Navigation Items: document.querySelectorAll(".nav-item") selects all elements with the class nav-item.

Adding Click Event Listeners: For each nav-item, an event listener is added that:

  • Resets the class of all nav-item elements to "nav-item".
  • Sets the clicked nav-item's class to "nav-item active".

2. Draggable Container Handling

const containers = document.querySelectorAll(".containers");
containers.forEach((container) => {
  let isDragging = false;
  let startX;
  let scrollLeft;
  container.addEventListener("mousedown", (e) => {
    isDragging = true;
    startX = e.pageX - container.offsetLeft;
    scrollLeft = container.scrollLeft;
  });
  container.addEventListener("mousemove", (e) => {
    if (!isDragging) return;
    e.preventDefault();
    const x = e.pageX - container.offsetLeft;
    const step = (x - startX) * 0.6;
    container.scrollLeft = scrollLeft - step;
  });
  container.addEventListener("mouseup", () => {
    isDragging = false;
  });
  container.addEventListener("mouseleave", () => {
    isDragging = false;
  });
});

Selection of Containers: document.querySelectorAll(".containers") selects all elements with the class containers.

Adding Mouse Event Listeners:

  • mousedown: Initializes dragging, capturing the start position and scroll offset.
  • mousemove: Handles the dragging, updating the scroll position based on mouse movement.
  • mouseup and mouseleave: Ends dragging.

3. Music Player Controls

Variables and Song List

const progress = document.getElementById("progress");
const song = document.getElementById("song");
const controlIcon = document.getElementById("controlIcon");
const playPauseButton = document.querySelector(".play-pause-btn");
const forwardButton = document.querySelector(".controls button.forward");
const backwardButton = document.querySelector(".controls button.backward");
const rotatingImage = document.getElementById("rotatingImage");
const songName = document.querySelector(".music-player h2");
const artistName = document.querySelector(".music-player p");
let rotating = false;
let currentRotation = 0;
let rotationInterval;
const songs = [
  // List of songs with title, name, source URL, and cover image URL
];
  • Element Selection: Various elements are selected for controlling the music player and displaying song information.
  • Rotation Variables: Flags and variables for managing image rotation.
  • Song List: An array of song objects with metadata.

5. Functions for Song Rotation and Info Update

function startRotation() {
  if (!rotating) {
    rotating = true;
    rotationInterval = setInterval(rotateImage, 50);
  }
}
function pauseRotation() {
  clearInterval(rotationInterval);
  rotating = false;
}
function rotateImage() {
  currentRotation += 1;
  rotatingImage.style.transform = `rotate(${currentRotation}deg)`;
}
function updateSongInfo() {
  songName.textContent = songs[currentSongIndex].title;
  artistName.textContent = songs[currentSongIndex].name;
  song.src = songs[currentSongIndex].source;
  rotatingImage.src = songs[currentSongIndex].cover;
  song.addEventListener("loadeddata", function () {});
}
  • startRotation: Starts rotating the image at regular intervals.
  • pauseRotation: Stops the image rotation.
  • rotateImage: Updates the rotation angle of the image.
  • updateSongInfo: Updates the song and artist information, as well as the song source and cover image.

6. Event Listeners for Song

song.addEventListener("loadedmetadata", function () {
  progress.max = song.duration;
  progress.value = song.currentTime;
});
song.addEventListener("ended", function () {
  currentSongIndex = (currentSongIndex + 1) % songs.length;
  updateSongInfo();
  playPause();
});
song.addEventListener("timeupdate", function () {
  if (!song.paused) {
    progress.value = song.currentTime;
  }
});
  • loadedmetadata: Updates the progress bar's maximum value and current value based on song duration and current time.
  • ended: Plays the next song when the current song ends.
  • timeupdate: Continuously updates the progress bar as the song plays.

7. Play/Pause and Control Button Event Listeners

function playPause() {
  if (song.paused) {
    song.play();
    controlIcon.classList.add("fa-pause");
    controlIcon.classList.remove("fa-play");
    startRotation();
  } else {
    song.pause();
    controlIcon.classList.remove("fa-pause");
    controlIcon.classList.add("fa-play");
    pauseRotation();
  }
}
playPauseButton.addEventListener("click", playPause);
progress.addEventListener("input", function () {
  song.currentTime = progress.value;
});
progress.addEventListener("change", function () {
  song.play();
  controlIcon.classList.add("fa-pause");
  controlIcon.classList.remove("fa-play");
  startRotation();
});
forwardButton.addEventListener("click", function () {
  currentSongIndex = (currentSongIndex + 1) % songs.length;
  updateSongInfo();
  playPause();
});
backwardButton.addEventListener("click", function () {
  currentSongIndex = (currentSongIndex - 1 + songs.length) % songs.length;
  updateSongInfo();
  playPause();
});
updateSongInfo();
  • playPause: Toggles play and pause states, updates the control icon, and manages image rotation.
  • Progress Bar Input and Change Events: Updates song current time and starts playing the song if necessary.
  • Forward and Backward Buttons: Change the current song and update the UI accordingly.

8. Swiper Initialization

var swiper = new Swiper(".swiper", {
  effect: "coverflow",
  grabCursor: true,
  centeredSlides: true,
  loop: true,
  speed: 600,
  slidesPerView: "auto",
  coverflowEffect: {
    rotate: 10,
    stretch: 120,
    depth: 200,
    modifier: 1,
    slideShadows: false,
  },
  on: {
    click(event) {
      swiper.slideTo(this.clickedIndex);
    },
  },
  pagination: {
    el: ".swiper-pagination",
  },
});
  • Swiper Initialization: Configures a Swiper instance with coverflow effect and various settings for appearance and behavior.
  • Event Listener for Click: Allows slides to be navigated by clicking on them.
  • Pagination: Adds pagination controls to the Swiper.
const navItems = document.querySelectorAll(".nav-item");

navItems.forEach((navItem, i) => {
  navItem.addEventListener("click", () => {
    navItems.forEach((item, j) => {
      item.className = "nav-item";
    });
    navItem.className = "nav-item active";
  });
});

const containers = document.querySelectorAll(".containers");

containers.forEach((container) => {
  let isDragging = false;
  let startX;
  let scrollLeft;

  container.addEventListener("mousedown", (e) => {
    isDragging = true;
    startX = e.pageX - container.offsetLeft;
    scrollLeft = container.scrollLeft;
  });

  container.addEventListener("mousemove", (e) => {
    if (!isDragging) return;
    e.preventDefault();

    const x = e.pageX - container.offsetLeft;
    const step = (x - startX) * 0.6;
    container.scrollLeft = scrollLeft - step;
  });

  container.addEventListener("mouseup", () => {
    isDragging = false;
  });

  container.addEventListener("mouseleave", () => {
    isDragging = false;
  });
});

const progress = document.getElementById("progress");
