I had a fantastic time writing this: thanks a lot for the opportunity! 🖤

Would you like a detailed breakdown of setting up carousel/slide navigation with Rive's Data Binding? Let me know! 😉

You can also create a non-infinite carousel where the forward button turns off on the last slide, and the backward button on the first. This is also straightforward to set up with data binding, again with the formula converter using "max" and "min" operators instead.

Now, with Data Binding, the logic is cleaner and more flexible for future slides! I only needed three Nums (current slide, max, min) and two formula converters with modulo operators.

For instance, a while back, I created this retro planet selector.
Before Data Binding, setting up an infinite loop carousel like this was a bit of a headache with multiple listeners and timelines to animate whether those listeners were active…

I've been diving into Data Binding recently. Its creative possibilities are massive, but it's also great for practical things.
One thing I've been doing is exploring how Data Binding simplifies tasks that used to be trickier 👇
