React-Bootstrap is a front-end framework that was designed keeping react in mind. Carousel Component provides a way to create a slideshow for our images or text slides with a present full manner in a cyclic way. We can use the following approach in ReactJS to use the react-bootstrap Carousel Component.
Carousel Props:
- activeIndex: It is used to control the current active visible slide.
- as: It can be used as a custom element type for this component.
- controls: These are used to show the next/previous button in the carousel.
- defaultActiveIndex: It is the default active index which is 0.
- fade: It is used to add a fade animation between slides while movement.
- indicators: It is used to show a set of slide position indicators.
- interval: It is used to delay time between automatically cycling movement.
- keyboard: It is used to indicate whether the carousel should react to the keyboard event or not.
- nextIcon: It is used to override the default next icon.
- nextLabel: It can be used to show the next element in the carousel, and it is a type of label that is only shown to screen readers.
- onSelect: It is a callback that is triggered when the active item changes.
- onSlid: It is a callback that is triggered when a slide transition ends.
- onSlide: It is a callback that is triggered when a slide transition starts.
- pause: It is used to pause the slide based on different mouse events.
- prevIcon: It is used to override the default previous icon.
- prevLabel: It can be used to show the previous element in the carousel, and it is a type of label that is only shown to screen readers.
- ref: It is used to provide the ref attribute for this element.
- slide: It is used to enable the animation between slides.
- touch: It is used on touchscreen devices to indicate whether it should support left/right swipe interactions.
- wrap: It indicates whether the carousel should have a hard stop or cycle continuously.
- bsPrefix: It is an escape hatch for working with strongly customized bootstrap CSS.
Carousel.Item Props:
- as: It can be used as a custom element type for this component.
- interval: It is used to delay time between automatically cycling movement for these items.
- bsPrefix: It is an escape hatch for working with strongly customized bootstrap CSS.
Carousel.Caption Props:
- as: It can be used as a custom element type for this component.
- bsPrefix: It is an escape hatch for working with strongly customized bootstrap CSS.
Creating React Application And Installing Module:
-
Step 1: Create a React application using the following command:
npx create-react-app foldername
-
Step 2: After creating your project folder i.e. foldername, move to it using the following command:
cd foldername
-
Step 3: After creating the ReactJS application, Install the required module using the following command:
npm install react-bootstrap npm install bootstrap
Project Structure: It will look like the following.
Project Structure
Example: Now write down the following code in the App.js file. Here, App is our default component where we have written our code.
App.js
import React from 'react'; import 'bootstrap/dist/css/bootstrap.css'; import Carousel from 'react-bootstrap/Carousel';   export default function App() {   return (     <div style={{ display: 'block', width: 700, padding: 30 }}>       <h4>React-Bootstrap Carousel Component</h4>       <Carousel>         <Carousel.Item interval={1500}>           <img             className="d-block w-100"            alt="Image One"          />           <Carousel.Caption>             <h3>Label for first slide</h3>             <p>Sample Text for Image One</p>           </Carousel.Caption>         </Carousel.Item>         <Carousel.Item interval={500}>           <img             className="d-block w-100"            alt="Image Two"          />           <Carousel.Caption>             <h3>Label for second slide</h3>             <p>Sample Text for Image Two</p>           </Carousel.Caption>         </Carousel.Item>       </Carousel>     </div>   ); } |
Step to Run Application: Run the application using the following command from the root directory of the project:
npm start
Output: Now open your browser and go to http://localhost:3000/, you will see the following output:
