Overview
The React Carousel component allows users to display images with content, links, and more, like a slide show. Typical uses of a carousel include scrolling news headlines, featured articles on home pages, and image galleries.

Ease of use
Carousel provides flexible ways to create slides with items or a data source. Configure the look and feel of the Carousel to match your requirement using several built-in options.
Animations
Navigate among slides smoothly with built-in “slide” and “cross-fade” animation effects. You can also provide custom animation effects.
Auto play slides
Carousel slide transitions are performed continuously in specified time intervals. You can also customize the time intervals.
Looping slides
Carousel’s looping functionality allows users to loop back to the first item after reaching the last item.
Completely customizable UI
Customize the appearance of any part of the Carousel interface using HTML and CSS styles.

Navigation buttons
Allows the users to change the previous and next slides.

Play button
Users can control the auto play slide functionality by using the play button.

Indicators
Users can show or hide the indicators to the carousel. Indicators provide quick navigation to any slide.

Developer-friendly APIs

Built-in themes
