How can i create a slider text using Javascript

Question

I'm trying to create a simple slider with 3 sections, each section has some texts, first, I started to create animations for the paragraphs of the section-a it works, but what I want is to create a slider(carousel) that is going to display the first section-a then section-b then section-c and we back to section-a and so on. I tried for many hours but I got stuck What do you think?

window.addEventListener('load', ()=> {  
    const textEL = document.getElementsByClassName("text");
    const showOne = document.getElementById("show-one");
    const showTwo = document.getElementById("show-two");
    const showTree = document.getElementById("show-tree");
    delay = 500;

    const animation = ()=> {
        setTimeout(()=> {
            textEL[0].style.transform = "translate(0%)"
        }, delay)

        setTimeout(()=> {
            textEL[1].style.transform = "translate(0%)"
        }, delay * 2)

        setTimeout(()=> {
            textEL[2].style.transform = "translate(0%)"
        }, delay * 3)

        setTimeout(()=> {
            textEL[3].style.transform = "translate(0%)"
        }, delay * 4)

        setTimeout(()=> {
            showOne.style.opacity = "0"
        }, delay * 5)
    }

    animation();
    // setInterval(animation, delay *6);

    
});

It's not clear what exactly you are expecting? What isn't working? Where do you get stuck? — Kokodoko, Sep 05 '21 at 11:02
Are you wanting section-a to come in and then disappear as section-b comes in and so on (as if you were sliding images one at a time in and out on a carousel but it happens to be text) OR are you wanting a continuous sort of ticker tape effect where the texts keep scrolling round one after the other. — A Haworth, Sep 05 '21 at 11:54

I made several changes to the CSS, HTML and especially to the Javascript. Adjust the timers considering my comments.

Note: remember that the animations made with the setInterval and setTimeout functions stop working when the page is no longer focused (if you change tabs for a few seconds and go back to the example you will see it). Check SO, for example here or here.

window.addEventListener('load', ()=> {  

    var i = 0;
    var sections = document.getElementsByClassName("section");
    var textEL = sections[i].getElementsByClassName("text");
    var delay = 500;
    
    // setInterval doesn't start immediately, so the first animation call happens earlier.
    animation();
    
    setInterval(function() {
      i++;
      if (i == sections.length) i = 0;  
      animation();
    }, delay * 15);




    function animation() {
        
        sections[i].style.opacity = "1";
        textEL = sections[i].getElementsByClassName("text");
        
        setTimeout(()=> {
            textEL[0].style.transform = "translate(0%)"
        }, delay)

        setTimeout(()=> {
            textEL[1].style.transform = "translate(0%)"
        }, delay * 2)

        setTimeout(()=> {
            textEL[2].style.transform = "translate(0%)"
        }, delay * 3)

        setTimeout(()=> {
            textEL[3].style.transform = "translate(0%)"
        }, delay * 4)

        // Hide texts after reading... delay*10
        setTimeout(()=> {
            sections[i].style.opacity = "0";
        }, delay * 10); // 
        
        // Reset the translate for next cycle
        setTimeout(()=> {
          for (var t=0; t < textEL.length; t++)
            textEL[t].style.transform = "translate(calc(100vw))";
        }, delay * 14); // Translate transition take 1.7s at least 2s delay from opacity=0 of section
        
    }
    
});
