This JavaScript code snippet helps you to create a quotes slideshow with images. It comes with a decent interface to slide the quotes with next/previous buttons. The quotes, author, and likes data are stored in an object that renders to HTML.

How to Create JavaScript Quotes Slideshow with Images

1. First of all, create the HTML structure as follows:

<div class="page-wrapper">
  <div class="inner-background">
    <div class="quote-container">
      <div class="quote-photo-wrapper">
        <div class="quote-photo-overlay">
          <div class="quote"><i class="fa fa-quote-left" aria-hidden="true"></i></div>
        </div>
        <img id="quote-image" src="https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/1/1b/Abraham_Lincoln_November_1863.jpg" />
        <div class="nav-btns">
          <div id="move-left"><span><i class="fa fa-angle-left"></i></span></div>
          <div id="move-right"><span><i class="fa fa-angle-right"></i></span></div>
        </div>
      </div>
      <div class="quote-details-wrapper">
        <div id="quote-header">
          <div class="like-wrapper">
            <span class="heart"><i class="fa fa-heart" aria-hidden="true"></i></span>
            <span id="quote-likes">111</span>
          </div>
        </div>
        <div id="quote-body">Things may come to those who wait, but only the things left by those who hustle.</div>
        <div id="quote-footer">- <span id="quote-author">Abraham Lincoln</span></div>
      </div>
    </div>
  </div>
</div>     

2. After that, add the following CSS styles to your project:

html, body {
  height: 100%;
  width: 100%;
}

.page-wrapper {
  background: #FFF;
  padding: 25px;
  height: 93%;
  font-family: "Archivo Black", sans-serif;
}
.page-wrapper .inner-background {
  min-height: 470px;
  background: #bbc2c5;
  /* For browsers that do not support gradients */
  background: -webkit-radial-gradient(bottom left, #bbc2c5, #e5ecef);
  /* For Opera 11.1 to 12.0 */
  background: -o-radial-gradient(bottom left, #bbc2c5, #e5ecef);
  /* For Fx 3.6 to 15 */
  background: -moz-radial-gradient(bottom left, #bbc2c5, #e5ecef);
  /* Standard syntax */
  background: radial-gradient(bottom left, #bbc2c5, #e5ecef);
  height: 100%;
  width: 100%;
  position: relative;
}
.page-wrapper .inner-background .quote-container {

}
.page-wrapper .inner-background .quote-container .quote-photo-wrapper .nav-btns :after {
  content: "";
  display: block;
  clear: both;
}
.page-wrapper .inner-background .quote-container .quote-details-wrapper {
  width: 70%;
  z-index: 1000;
  height: 100%;
  padding-right: 30px;
  position: absolute;
  right: 0;
  text-transform: uppercase;
  color: #FFF;
  min-height: 470px;
}
.page-wrapper .inner-background .quote-container .quote-details-wrapper #quote-header .like-wrapper {

  border-radius: 15px;
  width: auto;
  padding: 6px 10px 7px 10px;
  position: absolute;
  top: 20px;
  right: 20px;
  cursor: pointer;
  font-size: 12px;
}
.page-wrapper .inner-background .quote-container .quote-details-wrapper #quote-header .like-wrapper .heart {
  display: inline-block;
  font-size: 16px;
}
.page-wrapper .inner-background .quote-container .quote-details-wrapper #quote-header .like-wrapper .heart:hover {
  transform: rotate(360deg);
  transition: all 0.3s ease-in-out 0s;
}

  clear: both;
}

@media (max-width: 630px) {
  .page-wrapper .inner-background .quote-container .quote-details-wrapper #quote-body {
    font-size: 35px;
    line-height: 45px;
  }
}

3. Finally, add the following JavaScript code and done.

(function() {
  // wrap in an IIFE 
  // -- keeps from clashing with other applications/libraries
  // -- prevents polluting the global scope

  // used to get a random quote. Should be pulled in from some internal module library
  function getRandomInt(min, max) {
    return Math.floor(Math.random() * (max - min + 1)) + min;
  }

  // data for the quote browser. Would ideally come from an api, but I wanted control over my images
