API reference

PropTypeDefaultDescription
testimonialsTestimonial[]nullRequired array of testimonial objects. Each object must contain quote: string, name: string, designation: string, and src: string. The component displays the active object's text and image.
autoplaybooleanfalseWhen true, advances to the next testimonial every 5 seconds. When omitted or false, testimonials change only through the navigation buttons.

Accessibility

  • Each testimonial image uses the testimonial name as its alt text.
  • Previous and next controls are native button elements and are keyboard focusable.
  • The icon-only navigation buttons do not define accessible labels in the source; provide an accessible-name enhancement if needed for screen-reader users.
  • The active testimonial text is replaced visually with animation, but the source does not add an aria-live region.
  • Use meaningful testimonial names and descriptive image sources so the generated image alt text remains useful.
