Swiper
This block was designed to display a large number of images without taking up too much space.

Pulls in standard fields for these.
Add images for the block here. You can select multiple images from the media library at once to speed things up.
Image recommendations:
Built in:
A number, in pixels, that limits the height of all images. Most useful for when you have a square logo and it's way bigger than the other images.
Adds a py- value to each image.
Adds a px- value to each image.
Checkbox that puts images in a swiper.
Checkbox that shuffles the order of the images on load. Most useful when you're using a swiper, and don't want to show favoritism to the first few images.
This field only appears if Randomize Order is checked. Prevents the first X images from randomizing, in case you want to feature the first few images but want the rest random.
Sets id of the block.
This block is the first time a component included code that used the Column Structure fields to calculate the approximate image widths for optimization purposes.
Here's the code snippets for how it was done.
First, after columns variables are set, also define variables that store image widths as a percentage of the screen width (vw) by dividing 100 by the # of columns. (Note: these calculated percentages are often overestimates, but that's okay! It's better to overestimate than underestimate, as long as it's still pretty close)
//columns
$columns_xs = get_field('columns_xs');
$columns_sm = get_field('columns_sm');
$columns_md = get_field('columns_md');
$columns_lg = get_field('columns_lg');
$columns_xl = get_field('columns_xl');
//Calculates approx. image widths in vw (viewport width) based on column sizes
//these are calculated for the purpose of defining the sizes="" attribute for the img html
//so that the browser picks the correct size image to load from the srcset
//the calculated sizes aren't precise, and are often overestimates, but it's close enough!
//it also sets all the values for the $columns_ variables, in case they were defaulted at 0, for the swiper code.
$min_cols = 1; //sets min number of columns.
if($columns_sm) : $min_cols = $columns_xs; else: $columns_xs = $min_cols; endif;//sets min columns to # xs columns if defined. if not, $columns_xs will be set to min columns.
$xs_image = ceil(100 / $columns_xs); //xs screens, 0-575px
if($columns_sm) : $min_cols = $columns_sm; else: $columns_sm = $min_cols; endif; //sets min columns to # small columns if defined. if not, $columns_sm will be set to min columns.
$sm_image = ceil(100 / $columns_sm); //sm screens, 576-767px
if($columns_md) : $min_cols = $columns_md; else: $columns_md = $min_cols; endif; //sets min columns to # med columns if defined. if not, $columns_nd will be set to min columns.
$md_image = ceil(100 / $columns_md); //md screens, 768-991px
if($columns_lg) : $min_cols = $columns_lg; else: $columns_lg = $min_cols; endif; //sets min columns to # large columns if defined. if not, $columns_lg will be set to min columns.
$lg_image = ceil(100 / $columns_lg); //lg screens, 992-1200px
if($columns_xl) : $min_cols = $columns_xl; else: $columns_xl = $min_cols; endif; //sets min columns to # xl columns if defined. if not, $columns_xl will be set to min columns.
$xl_image = ceil(100 / $columns_xl); //xl screens, 1200px or more

Then, in the section of your code that creates each image, add a sizes attribute that tells the browser the width of each image.
<img
class="image " style="max-height: <?php echo $max_height ?>px"
src="<?php echo $image['url']; ?>" alt="<?php echo $image['alt']; ?>"
srcset="<?php echo wp_get_attachment_image_srcset($image['id']); ?>"
sizes="(max-width: 575.98px) <?php echo $xs_image; ?>vw, (max-width: 767.98px) <?php echo $sm_image; ?>vw, (max-width: 991.98px) <?php echo $md_image; ?>vw, (max-width: 1199.98px) <?php echo $lg_image; ?>vw, <?php echo $xl_image; ?>vw"

This block is also the first time we used Column Structure in combination with the Swiper. The if statements in the first code snippet above, combined with the code in the breakpoints parameter of Swiper JS below, is how this was accomplished.
(function($) {
$(document).ready(function() {
var swiperInstances = swiperInstances || {};
swiperInstances['<?php echo $block['id']; ?>'] = new Swiper('#<?php echo $id ?> .swiper-container', {
//XS screen size set as default
slidesPerView: <?php echo $columns_xs ?>,
slidesPerGroup: <?php echo $columns_xs ?>,
loop: true,
centeredSlides: false,
lazy: { //adds lazy loading for hidden slides.
loadPrevNext: true, // Preload previous/next slides
},
breakpoints: {
//set breakpoints the same as flex columns
//setting slides Per Group means each click of the swiper moves the whole row, instead of one image at a time.
576: {
slidesPerView: <?php echo $columns_sm ?>,
slidesPerGroup: <?php echo $columns_sm ?>,
spaceBetween: 0
},
768: {
slidesPerView: <?php echo $columns_md ?>,
slidesPerGroup: <?php echo $columns_md ?>,
spaceBetween: 0
},
992: {
slidesPerView: <?php echo $columns_lg ?>,
slidesPerGroup: <?php echo $columns_lg ?>,
spaceBetween: 0
},
1200: {
slidesPerView: <?php echo $columns_xl ?>,
slidesPerGroup: <?php echo $columns_xl ?>,
spaceBetween: 0
}
},
pagination: {
el: '#<?php echo $id ?> .swiper-pagination',
type: 'custom',
renderCustom: function (swiper, current, total) {
return current + '/' + (total);
}
},
navigation: {
nextEl: '#<?php echo $id ?> .swiper-button-next',
prevEl: '#<?php echo $id ?> .swiper-button-prev',
},
});
});
})(jQuery);
