css reactjs animation carousel react-spring

Creating a slider that slides items in an arc / upper cricle

I'm attempting to create a carousel that rotates items in a upper circle / arc fashion. This is how it's supposed to roll: https://thumbs.gfycat.com/HastyTemptingBarnswallow-mobile.mp4

My initial thought is to have 1 element in the middle then one previous and next which are slightly rotated. Upon dragging it should move all items along the x-axis and slightly rotate. This is my attempt:

Problem is I can't seem to make the dragging animation very smooth. I might also just be overthinking this and go in the wrong direction. Any advice?

Solution

I used the following link to create an effect like the one you want

You will have to adjust the CSS according to your UI.

$('.opened-nav li').click(function(event) {
  var index = $(".opened-nav li").index(this);
  console.log(index)
  if (index >= 7) {
    return;
  }

  let startDeg = 80;
  $('#cn-wrapper').css({
    '-webkit-transform': 'scale(2) rotate(' + (startDeg - (index) * 40) + 'deg)',
    '-moz-transform': 'scale(2) rotate(' + (startDeg - (index) * 40) + 'deg)',
    '-ms-transform': 'scale(2) rotate(' + (startDeg - (index) * 40) + 'deg)',
    '-o-transform': 'scale(2) rotate(' + (startDeg - (index) * 40) + 'deg)',
    'transform': 'scale(2) rotate(' + (startDeg - (index) * 40) + 'deg)'
  });
  /* console.log(event) */
})
