Carousel

The Carousel component is a slideshow for cycling through a set of elements — images or text like - a carousel, referred to as slides, by sequentially displaying a subset of one or more slides. One slide is displayed at a time, and users can activate a next or previous slide control that hides the current slide and "rotates" the next or previous slide into view. The component implements the W3C ARIA APG Carousel Pattern.

Examples

Base

Here is a basic example of a carousel with some slides. When no value is set for an item, the index of the slide is used to as v-model value.

<section>
    <o-carousel v-model="currentSlide" indicator-inside>
        <o-carousel-item v-for="slide in slides" :key="slide.title">
            <article
                :style="{
                    'background-color': slide.color,
                    padding: '9rem 4.5rem',
                    color: '#ffffff',
                    'text-align': 'center',
                }">
                <h1>{{ slide.title }}</h1>
            </article>
        </o-carousel-item>
    </o-carousel>

    <p><b>Current slide index:</b> {{ currentSlide }}</p>
</section>

JS

import { ref } from "vue";

const currentSlide = ref<number>();

const slides = [
    { title: "Slide 1", color: "#445e00" },
    { title: "Slide 2", color: "#006724" },
    { title: "Slide 3", color: "#b60000" },
    { title: "Slide 4", color: "#f4c300" },
    { title: "Slide 5", color: "#005c98" },
];

Indicators

Alongside the previous/next controls, slide indicators can be activated using the indicators prop. Indicators allow the user to jump directly to a particular slide. The position can be set with the indicatorPosition and indicatorInside props to display the indicators at the top or bottom and inside or outside the slide. If there is more than one style defined for the indicators in a theme, the style can be customised by using the indicatorStyle prop.

Options

Instead of using the <o-carousel-item> component directly inside the default slot, an options prop can be set, which allows the options to be set programmatically. All <o-carousel-item> component props can be used as attributes of the item object in the options list.

Carousel List

The component is capable of displaying and rotating more than one slide at a time. Therefore, the items-to-show and items-to-list props can be used to specify the number of items to be shown and rotated at once.

Slideshow

Using the indicators slot, the indicators can be further customised to create a custom style like a picture gallery slideshow. Click on the slide to open the gallery mode.

Autoplay

Using the autoplay prop, the carousel will run automatically. The interval prop can be used to set the cycle speed. Moving focus to any of the carousel content, including the tab elements, pauses automatic rotation, when the pause-hover prop is set. If operating system preferences have been set for reduced motion or disabling animations, the auto-rotation is initially paused.

Accessibility Note:

When using autoplay, users must be able to stop and start slide rotation, which is an essential aspect of carousel accessibility for a variety of people with disabilities. People with low vision or a cognitive disability that affects visual processing or reading benefit from being able to control slide rotation so that they have enough time to explore slide content.
