React-Bootstrap Carousel Component

Last Updated : 07 Mar, 2024

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.

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"
src="https://media.geeksforgeeks.org/wp-content/uploads/20210425122739/2-300x115.png"
            alt="Image One"
          /> 
          <Carousel.Caption> 
            <h3>Label for first slide</h3> 
            <p>Sample Text for Image One</p>

        </Carousel.Item> 
        <Carousel.Item interval={500}> 
          <img
