API reference
PropTypeDefaultDescription
CarouselReact.ComponentProps<"div"> & { opts?: CarouselOptions; plugins?: CarouselPlugin; orientation?: "horizontal" | "vertical"; setApi?: (api: CarouselApi) => void }—Accepts standard div props, including className and children. opts and plugins are the corresponding parameter types from useEmblaCarousel. orientation defaults to "horizontal" and determines Embla's axis. setApi is called with the Embla API when it is available.
CarouselContentReact.ComponentProps<"div">—Accepts standard div props. Its className and other div props are applied to the inner flex track; the outer viewport is overflow-hidden.
CarouselItemReact.ComponentProps<"div">—Accepts standard div props, including className and children. Renders a slide group and adds orientation-specific spacing.
CarouselPreviousReact.ComponentProps<typeof Button>—Accepts the installed Button component's props. variant defaults to "outline" and size to "icon-sm". The component supplies its own previous-slide click handler and disabled state based on whether scrolling backward is possible; later props can override these.
CarouselNextReact.ComponentProps<typeof Button>—Accepts the installed Button component's props. variant defaults to "outline" and size to "icon-sm". The component supplies its own next-slide click handler and disabled state based on whether scrolling forward is possible; later props can override these.
useCarousel() => CarouselContextProps—A hook, not a component prop. Must be called within Carousel. Returns carouselRef, api, opts, orientation, scrollPrev, scrollNext, canScrollPrev, and canScrollNext.
Accessibility
- The root is a region with aria-roledescription="carousel"; provide an accessible name using an appropriate standard div attribute such as aria-label.
- Each CarouselItem has role="group" and aria-roledescription="slide". The component does not automatically add slide labels or position counts.
- Previous and next buttons include visually hidden text labels, "Previous slide" and "Next slide", alongside their icons.
- The carousel handles ArrowLeft and ArrowRight keydown events on the root, preventing their default behavior and scrolling in the corresponding direction. This behavior is the same for vertical orientation.
- The navigation buttons are disabled when scrolling in their direction is unavailable.
