I am using owl carousel and it works perfectly except it does not support circular/infinite scrolling. I did search for ideas on google and stackoverflow with no luck. Has anyone implemented circular/infinite scrolling in owl carousel?

Owl Carousel does have the loop: true configuration setting. But, there's a few problems I don't like:

  1. Owl doesn't goto the first slide when at the end, when dragging (instead of clicking on navigation buttons)
  2. Owl rewinds to the first slide, it doesn't wrap around infinitely. This is a big difference, and not nearly as pleasing as a properly circular / infinitely scrolling carousel.

To that end I've found and recommend using the Slick Carousel instead. Slick has a "Center Mode" which had exactly the functionality I was looking for:
