Carousel

Carousels are for displaying a related set of content items in a row. Items can be paged using the next/previous buttons or by a swipe gesture.

Examples

Auto paging

The number and width of items are handled automatically.

Using portals

If there are any UI elements that need to appear in the same visual space as the carousel container, they will need to be rendered outside the Carousel DOM. This is because the Carousel container solution requires being styled overflow: hidden. A React Portal is a great solution. A common example could be an ActionMenu rendered from a Card. Here is some example code:

Guidelines

The height of the carousel adapts to the height of the content it contains, but the width of its children will be equalized, so make sure to use related content for children that are intended to be used at the same height and width.
