About

The carousel is built with the Embla Carousel library.

Usage

Import

import {
  Carousel,
  CarouselContent,
  CarouselItem,
  CarouselNext,
  CarouselPrevious,
} from "@/components/cubix/carousel"

Example

<Carousel>
  <CarouselContent>
    <CarouselItem>...</CarouselItem>
    <CarouselItem>...</CarouselItem>
    <CarouselItem>...</CarouselItem>
  </CarouselContent>
  <CarouselPrevious />
  <CarouselNext />
</Carousel>

Composition

Use the following composition to build a Carousel:

Carousel
├── CarouselContent
│   ├── CarouselItem
│   └── CarouselItem
├── CarouselPrevious
└── CarouselNext

Examples

Sizes

Set slide width with basis on CarouselItem.

<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

Space slides with a negative margin on CarouselContent and matching padding on each item.

<Carousel>
  <CarouselContent className="-ml-1">
    <CarouselItem className="pl-1 md:basis-1/2">...</CarouselItem>
    <CarouselItem className="pl-1 md:basis-1/2">...</CarouselItem>
    <CarouselItem className="pl-1 md:basis-1/2">...</CarouselItem>
  </CarouselContent>
</Carousel>

Orientation

Use the orientation prop to set the scroll axis.

<Carousel
  orientation="vertical"
  opts={{ align: "start" }}
  className="w-full max-w-xs"
>
  <CarouselContent className="-mt-1 h-[200px]">
    <CarouselItem className="pt-1 md:basis-1/2">...</CarouselItem>
    <CarouselItem className="pt-1 md:basis-1/2">...</CarouselItem>
    <CarouselItem className="pt-1 md:basis-1/2">...</CarouselItem>
  </CarouselContent>
  <CarouselPrevious />
  <CarouselNext />
</Carousel>

Options

Pass Embla options through the opts prop.

<Carousel
  opts={{
    align: "start",
    loop: true,
  }}
>
  <CarouselContent>
    <CarouselItem>...</CarouselItem>
    <CarouselItem>...</CarouselItem>
    <CarouselItem>...</CarouselItem>
  </CarouselContent>
</Carousel>

API

Use setApi to keep an Embla instance and read the current slide.

Slide 0 of 0

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>
)

Plugins

Add Embla plugins with the plugins prop. Autoplay needs the extra embla-carousel-autoplay package.

import Autoplay from "embla-carousel-autoplay"

<Carousel
  plugins={[
    Autoplay({
      delay: 2000,
    }),
  ]}
>
  <CarouselContent>
    <CarouselItem>...</CarouselItem>
  </CarouselContent>
</Carousel>
