React Bootstrap 5 Carousel with multi-items CarouselItems

React Bootstrap is a popular library that combines the power of React with the flexibility and styling of Bootstrap. One of the key components in Bootstrap is the Carousel, which allows you to display a slideshow of images or content. In this article, we will explore how to create a multi-item carousel using React Bootstrap 5 and CarouselItems.

Prerequisites

Before we begin, make sure you have the following installed:

• React: npm install react
• React DOM: npm install react-dom
• React Bootstrap: npm install react-bootstrap
• Bootstrap: npm install bootstrap

Creating the Carousel Component

First, let’s create a new React component called MultiItemCarousel. This component will render the Carousel and its items.

import React from 'react';
import Carousel from 'react-bootstrap/Carousel';
import CarouselItems from './CarouselItems';

const MultiItemCarousel = () => {
  return (
    
      
    
  );
};

export default MultiItemCarousel;
  

In the code above, we import the necessary dependencies and create the MultiItemCarousel component. We render the Carousel component and include the CarouselItems component inside it.

Creating the CarouselItems Component

Next, let’s create the CarouselItems component. This component will render the individual items inside the Carousel.

import React from 'react';
import Carousel from 'react-bootstrap/Carousel';

const CarouselItems = () => {
  return (
    
      
      
        
First slide label
        Nulla vitae elit libero, a pharetra augue mollis interdum.
      
    
    
      
      
        
Second slide label
        Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit.
      
    
    
      
      
        
Third slide label
        Praesent commodo cursus magna, vel scelerisque nisl consectetur.
      
    
  );
};

export default CarouselItems;
  

In the code above, we create the CarouselItems component and define the individual items inside the Carousel. Each item is wrapped inside a Carousel.Item component and includes an image, caption, and description.

Using the MultiItemCarousel Component

Finally, let’s use the MultiItemCarousel component in our main application.

import React from 'react';
import ReactDOM from 'react-dom';
import MultiItemCarousel from './MultiItemCarousel';

ReactDOM.render(
  
    
  ,
  document.getElementById('root')
);
  

In the code above, we import the MultiItemCarousel component and render it inside the ReactDOM.render function. We also wrap it in a React.StrictMode component for better development practices.

Conclusion

In this article, we have learned how to create a multi-item carousel using React Bootstrap 5 and CarouselItems. By following the steps outlined above, you can easily implement a carousel with multiple items in your React application.
