</script>

Default Carousel #

Set the duration prop to define the time interval for chaning images. Time is set in miliseconds.

The default value for duration is set to zero that means no autochange of images. In that case you can control which image is displayed by the index prop.

  • Svelte
<script>
  import { Carousel } from 'flowbite-svelte';
  import images from './imageData/images.json';
</script>

<div class="max-w-4xl">
  <Carousel {images} duration="3000" />
</div>

Controls #

Use the internal Controls component to listen to click events which will trigger the slide event from the carousel component to each direction.

You can customize the control elements with the class property.

  • Svelte
<script>
  import { Carousel } from 'flowbite-svelte';
  import images from './imageData/images.json';
</script>

<div class="max-w-4xl">
  <Carousel {images} let:Controls>
    <Controls />
  </Carousel>
</div>

Indicators #

Show the carousel indicators by adding the internal Indicators component.

  • Svelte
<script>
  import { Carousel } from 'flowbite-svelte';
  import images from './imageData/images.json';
</script>

<div class="max-w-4xl">
  <Carousel {images} let:Indicators>
    <Indicators />
  </Carousel>
</div>

Thumbnails #

You can control the Carousel component externally by the index prop. Here is an example how to use the Thumbnails component to achieve that.

  • Svelte
<script>
  import { Carousel, Thumbnails } from 'flowbite-svelte';
  import images from './imageData/images.json';

  let index = 0;
  let forward = true; // sync animation direction between Thumbnails and Carousel
</script>

<div class="max-w-4xl space-y-4">
  <Carousel {images} {forward} let:Indicators let:Controls bind:index>
    <Controls />
    <Indicators />
  </Carousel>
  <Thumbnails {images} {forward} bind:index />
</div>

Caption #

The Carousel exposes the change event containing info about the currently displayed image. You can use it to build custom caption for the carousel.

  • Svelte
<script>
  import { Carousel } from 'flowbite-svelte';
  import images from './imageData/images.json';

  let index = 0;
  let image;
</script>

<div class="max-w-4xl space-y-4">

  <Carousel {images} let:Indicators let:Controls on:change={({ detail }) => (image = detail)}>
    <Controls />
    <Indicators />
  </Carousel>

  <div class="rounded h-10 bg-gray-300 dark:bg-gray-700 dark:text-white p-2 my-2 text-center">
    {image?.alt}
  </div>
</div>

Carousel with links #

You can use slot="slide" and internal component Slide to control the image display. Here’s an example how to wrap images with the anchor element.

  • Svelte
<script>
  import { Carousel } from 'flowbite-svelte';
  import images from './imageData/images.json';
</script>

<div class="max-w-4xl space-y-4">
  <Carousel {images} duration={3900} let:Indicators>
    <a slot="slide" href="http://google.com/search?q={images[index]?.title}" target="_blank" let:Slide let:index>
      <Slide image={images[index]} />
    </a>
    <Indicators />
  </Carousel>
</div>
