Populating Items in React Carousel component

24 May 2022 / 4 minutes to read

In the Carousel, slides can be rendered in two ways as follows,

  • Populating items using carousel item
  • Populating Items using data source

When rendering the Carousel component using items binding, you can assign templates for each item separately or assign a common template to each item. You can also customize the slide transition interval for each item separately. The following example code depicts the functionality as item property binding.

Populating Items using data source

When rendering the Carousel component using data binding, you can assign a common template only for all items using the itemTemplate property. You cannot set the interval for each item. The following example code depicts the functionality as data binding.

The Carousel items will be populated from the first index of the Carousel items and can be customized using the following ways,

  • Select an item using the property.

Select an item using the property

Using the selectedIndex property of the Carousel component, you can set the slide to be populated at the time of initial rendering else you can switch to the particular slide item.
