Carousel
Carousel component is a dynamic and engaging user interface element built using Embla. It seamlessly incorporates motion and swipe functionality, providing an interactive way to showcase a series of content or images. The Carousel enhances user experience by offering a visually appealing and navigable interface, making it ideal for image galleries, product showcases, or any scenario where sequential content presentation is desired.
About
The carousel component is built using the Embla Carousel library.
Installation
yarn add @camped-ui/carousel
Usage
import {
Carousel,
CarouselContent,
CarouselItem,
CarouselNext,
CarouselPrevious,
} from "@camped-ui/carousel";
<Carousel>
<CarouselContent>
<CarouselItem>...</CarouselItem>
<CarouselItem>...</CarouselItem>
<CarouselItem>...</CarouselItem>
</CarouselContent>
<CarouselPrevious />
<CarouselNext />
</Carousel>
Examples
Sizes
To set the size of the items, you can use the basis
utility class on the <CarouselItem />
.
// 33% of the carousel width.
<Carousel>
<CarouselContent>
<CarouselItem className="basis-1/3">...</CarouselItem>
<CarouselItem className="basis-1/3">...</CarouselItem>
<CarouselItem className="basis-1/3">...</CarouselItem>
</CarouselContent>
</Carousel>
// 50% on small screens and 33% on larger screens.
<Carousel>
<CarouselContent>
<CarouselItem className="md:basis-1/2 lg:basis-1/3">...</CarouselItem>
<CarouselItem className="md:basis-1/2 lg:basis-1/3">...</CarouselItem>
<CarouselItem className="md:basis-1/2 lg:basis-1/3">...</CarouselItem>
</CarouselContent>
</Carousel>
Spacing
To set the spacing between the items, we use a pl-[VALUE]
utility on the <CarouselItem />
and a negative -ml-[VALUE]
on the <CarouselContent />
.
Why: I tried to use the gap
property or a grid
layout on the <CarouselContent />
but it required a lot of math and mental effort to get the
spacing right. I found pl-[VALUE]
and -ml-[VALUE]
utilities much easier to
use.
You can always adjust this in your own project if you need to.
<Carousel>
<CarouselContent className="-ml-4">
<CarouselItem className="pl-4">...</CarouselItem>
<CarouselItem className="pl-4">...</CarouselItem>
<CarouselItem className="pl-4">...</CarouselItem>
</CarouselContent>
</Carousel>
<Carousel>
<CarouselContent className="-ml-2 md:-ml-4">
<CarouselItem className="pl-2 md:pl-4">...</CarouselItem>
<CarouselItem className="pl-2 md:pl-4">...</CarouselItem>
<CarouselItem className="pl-2 md:pl-4">...</CarouselItem>
</CarouselContent>
</Carousel>
Slider
This carousel component comes with the slider on the left and the thumbnail line of the slides on the right.
Orientation
Use the orientation
prop to set the orientation of the carousel.
<Carousel orientation="vertical | horizontal">
<CarouselContent>
<CarouselItem>...</CarouselItem>
<CarouselItem>...</CarouselItem>
<CarouselItem>...</CarouselItem>
</CarouselContent>
</Carousel>

Options
You can pass options to the carousel using the opts
prop. See the Embla Carousel docs for more information.
<Carousel

loop: true,
}}
>
<CarouselContent>
<CarouselItem>...</CarouselItem>
<CarouselItem>...</CarouselItem>
<CarouselItem>...</CarouselItem>
</CarouselContent>
</Carousel>
API
Use a state and the setApi
props to get an instance of the carousel API.
import { type CarouselApi } from "@camped-ui/carousel";
export function Example() {
const [api, setApi] = React.useState<CarouselApi>();
const [current, setCurrent] = React.useState(0);
const [count, setCount] = React.useState(0);
React.useEffect(() => {
if (!api) {
return;
}
setCount(api.scrollSnapList().length);
setCurrent(api.selectedScrollSnap() + 1);
api.on("select", () => {
setCurrent(api.selectedScrollSnap() + 1);
});
}, [api]);
return (
<Carousel setApi={setApi}>
<CarouselContent>
<CarouselItem>...</CarouselItem>
<CarouselItem>...</CarouselItem>
<CarouselItem>...</CarouselItem>
</CarouselContent>
</Carousel>
);
}
Events
You can listen to events using the api instance from setApi
.
import { type CarouselApi } from "@camped-ui/carousel";
export function Example() {
const [api, setApi] = React.useState<CarouselApi>();
React.useEffect(() => {
if (!api) {
return;
}
api.on("select", () => {
// Do something on select.
});
}, [api]);
return (
<Carousel setApi={setApi}>
<CarouselContent>
<CarouselItem>...</CarouselItem>
<CarouselItem>...</CarouselItem>
<CarouselItem>...</CarouselItem>
</CarouselContent>
</Carousel>
);
}
See the Embla Carousel docs for more information on using events.
Plugins
You can use the plugins
prop to add plugins to the carousel.
import Autoplay from "embla-carousel-autoplay";
export function Example() {
return (
<Carousel
plugins={[
Autoplay({
delay: 2000,
}),
]}
>
// ...
</Carousel>
);
}
See the Embla Carousel docs for more information on using plugins.
