Usage

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

<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

Sizes

To set the size of the items, you can use the basis utility class on the <CarouselItem />.

import * as React from "react"

import { Card, CardContent } from "@/components/ui/card"
import {
  Carousel,
  CarouselContent,
  CarouselItem,
  CarouselNext,
  CarouselPrevious,
} from "@/components/ui/carousel"

export function CarouselSize() {
  return (
    <Carousel
      opts={{
        align: "start",
      }}
      className="w-full max-w-[12rem] sm:max-w-xs md:max-w-sm"
    >
      <CarouselContent>
        {Array.from({ length: 5 }).map((_, index) => (
          <CarouselItem key={index} className="basis-1/2 lg:basis-1/3">
            <div className="p-1">
              <Card>
                <CardContent className="flex aspect-square items-center justify-center p-6">
                  <span className="text-3xl font-semibold">{index + 1}</span>
                </CardContent>
              </Card>
            </div>
          </CarouselItem>
        ))}
      </CarouselContent>
      <CarouselPrevious />
      <CarouselNext />
    </Carousel>
  )
}

// 33% of the carousel width.
<Carousel>
  <CarouselContent>
    <CarouselItem className="basis-1/3">...</CarouselItem>
    <CarouselItem className="basis-1/3">...</CarouselItem>
    <CarouselItem className="basis-1/3">...</CarouselItem>
  </CarouselContent>
</Carousel>

// 50% on small screens and 33% on larger screens.
<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

To set the spacing between the items, we use a pl-[VALUE] utility on the <CarouselItem /> and a negative -ml-[VALUE] on the <CarouselContent />.

import * as React from "react"

import { Card, CardContent } from "@/components/ui/card"
import {
  Carousel,
  CarouselContent,
  CarouselItem,
  CarouselNext,
  CarouselPrevious,
} from "@/components/ui/carousel"

export function CarouselSpacing() {
  return (
    <Carousel className="w-full max-w-[12rem] sm:max-w-xs md:max-w-sm">
      <CarouselContent className="-ml-1">
        {Array.from({ length: 5 }).map((_, index) => (
          <CarouselItem key={index} className="basis-1/2 pl-1 lg:basis-1/3">
            <div className="p-1">
              <Card>
                <CardContent className="flex aspect-square items-center justify-center p-6">
                  <span className="text-2xl font-semibold">{index + 1}</span>
                </CardContent>
              </Card>
            </div>
          </CarouselItem>
        ))}
      </CarouselContent>
      <CarouselPrevious />
      <CarouselNext />
    </Carousel>
  )
}

<Carousel>
  <CarouselContent className="-ml-4">
    <CarouselItem className="pl-4">...</CarouselItem>
    <CarouselItem className="pl-4">...</CarouselItem>
    <CarouselItem className="pl-4">...</CarouselItem>
  </CarouselContent>
</Carousel>

<Carousel>
  <CarouselContent className="-ml-2 md:-ml-4">
    <CarouselItem className="pl-2 md:pl-4">...</CarouselItem>
    <CarouselItem className="pl-2 md:pl-4">...</CarouselItem>
    <CarouselItem className="pl-2 md:pl-4">...</CarouselItem>
  </CarouselContent>
</Carousel>

Orientation

Use the orientation prop to set the orientation of the carousel.

import * as React from "react"

import { Card, CardContent } from "@/components/ui/card"
import {
  Carousel,
  CarouselContent,
  CarouselItem,
  CarouselNext,
  CarouselPrevious,
} from "@/components/ui/carousel"

export function CarouselOrientation() {
  return (
    <Carousel
      opts={{
        align: "start",
      }}
      orientation="vertical"
      className="w-full max-w-xs"
    >
      <CarouselContent className="-mt-1 h-[270px]">
        {Array.from({ length: 5 }).map((_, index) => (
          <CarouselItem key={index} className="basis-1/2 pt-1">
            <div className="p-1">
              <Card>
                <CardContent className="flex items-center justify-center p-6">
                  <span className="text-3xl font-semibold">{index + 1}</span>
                </CardContent>
              </Card>
            </div>
          </CarouselItem>
        ))}
      </CarouselContent>
      <CarouselPrevious />
      <CarouselNext />
    </Carousel>
  )
}

<Carousel orientation="vertical | horizontal">
  <CarouselContent>
    <CarouselItem>...</CarouselItem>
    <CarouselItem>...</CarouselItem>
    <CarouselItem>...</CarouselItem>
  </CarouselContent>
</Carousel>

Options

You can pass options to the carousel using the opts prop.

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

API

Use a state and the setApi prop to get an instance of the carousel API.

"use client"

import * as React from "react"

import { Card, CardContent } from "@/components/ui/card"
import {
  Carousel,
  CarouselContent,
  CarouselItem,
  CarouselNext,
  CarouselPrevious,
  type CarouselApi,
} from "@/components/ui/carousel"

export function CarouselDApiDemo() {
  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 (
    <div className="mx-auto max-w-[10rem] sm:max-w-xs">
      <Carousel setApi={setApi} className="w-full max-w-xs">
        <CarouselContent>
          {Array.from({ length: 5 }).map((_, index) => (
            <CarouselItem key={index}>
              <Card className="m-px">
                <CardContent className="flex aspect-square items-center justify-center p-6">
                  <span className="text-4xl font-semibold">{index + 1}</span>
                </CardContent>
              </Card>
            </CarouselItem>
          ))}
        </CarouselContent>
        <CarouselPrevious />
        <CarouselNext />
      </Carousel>
      <div className="py-2 text-center text-sm text-muted-foreground">
        Slide {current} of {count}
      </div>
    </div>
  )
}

import { type CarouselApi } from "@/components/ui/carousel"

export function Example() {
  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>
  )
}

Events

You can listen to events using the api instance from setApi.

import { type CarouselApi } from "@/components/ui/carousel"

export function Example() {
  const [api, setApi] = React.useState<CarouselApi>()

  React.useEffect(() => {
    if (!api) {
      return
    }

    api.on("select", () => {
      // Do something on select.
    })
  }, [api])

  return (
    <Carousel setApi={setApi}>
      <CarouselContent>
        <CarouselItem>...</CarouselItem>
        <CarouselItem>...</CarouselItem>
        <CarouselItem>...</CarouselItem>
      </CarouselContent>
    </Carousel>
  )
}

Plugins

You can use the plugins prop to add plugins to the carousel.

import Autoplay from "embla-carousel-autoplay"

export function Example() {
  return (
    <Carousel
      plugins={[
        Autoplay({
          delay: 2000,
        }),
      ]}
    >
      // ...
    </Carousel>
  )
}

"use client"

import * as React from "react"
import Autoplay from "embla-carousel-autoplay"

import { Card, CardContent } from "@/components/ui/card"
import {
  Carousel,
  CarouselContent,
  CarouselItem,
  CarouselNext,
  CarouselPrevious,
} from "@/components/ui/carousel"

export function CarouselPlugin() {
  const plugin = React.useRef(
    Autoplay({ delay: 2000, stopOnInteraction: true })
  )

  return (
    <Carousel
      plugins={[plugin.current]}
      className="w-full max-w-[10rem] sm:max-w-xs"
      onMouseEnter={plugin.current.stop}
      onMouseLeave={plugin.current.reset}
    >
      <CarouselContent>
        {Array.from({ length: 5 }).map((_, index) => (
          <CarouselItem key={index}>
            <div className="p-1">
              <Card>
                <CardContent className="flex aspect-square items-center justify-center p-6">
                  <span className="text-4xl font-semibold">{index + 1}</span>
                </CardContent>
              </Card>
            </div>
          </CarouselItem>
        ))}
      </CarouselContent>
      <CarouselPrevious />
      <CarouselNext />
    </Carousel>
  )
}

RTL

To enable RTL support in shadcn/ui, see the RTL configuration guide.

"use client"

import * as React from "react"

import { Card, CardContent } from "@/components/ui/card"
import {
  Carousel,
  CarouselContent,
  CarouselItem,
  CarouselNext,
  CarouselPrevious,
} from "@/components/ui/carousel"
import {
  useTranslation,
  type Translations,
} from "@/components/language-selector"

const translations: Translations = {
  en: {
    dir: "ltr",
    values: {},
  },
  ar: {
    dir: "rtl",
    values: {},
  },
  he: {

}

function toArabicNumerals(num: number): string {
  const arabicNumerals = ["٠", "١", "٢", "٣", "٤", "٥", "٦", "٧", "٨", "٩"]
  return num
    .toString()
    .split("")
    .map((digit) => arabicNumerals[parseInt(digit, 10)])
    .join("")
}

export function CarouselRtl() {
  const { dir, language } = useTranslation(translations, "ar")

  const formatNumber = (num: number): string => {
    if (language === "ar") {
      return toArabicNumerals(num)
    }
    return num.toString()
  }

  return (
    <Carousel
      dir={dir}
      className="w-full max-w-[12rem] sm:max-w-xs"
      opts={{
        direction: dir,

          <CarouselItem key={index}>
            <div className="p-1">
              <Card>
