Carousel component.

# Basic Usage 

<!-- Basic array -->
<x-carousel :images="[
    ['src' => url('assets/images/wallpapers/1.jpg'), 'alt' => 'Wallpaper 1'],
    ['src' => url('assets/images/wallpapers/2.jpg'), 'alt' => 'Wallpaper 2'],
    ['src' => url('assets/images/wallpapers/3.jpg'), 'alt' => 'Wallpaper 3'],
]" />
 
<!-- Also accept Laravel collection -->
<x-carousel :images="collect([
    ['src' => url('assets/images/wallpapers/1.jpg'), 'alt' => 'Wallpaper 1'],
    ['src' => url('assets/images/wallpapers/2.jpg'), 'alt' => 'Wallpaper 2'],
    ['src' => url('assets/images/wallpapers/3.jpg'), 'alt' => 'Wallpaper 3'],
])" />

# Round 

<x-carousel :images="[
    ['src' => url('assets/images/wallpapers/1.jpg'), 'alt' => 'Wallpaper 1'],
    ['src' => url('assets/images/wallpapers/2.jpg'), 'alt' => 'Wallpaper 2'],
    ['src' => url('assets/images/wallpapers/3.jpg'), 'alt' => 'Wallpaper 3'],
]" round />
 
<!--
default => rounded-xl,
xs      => rounded-xs,
sm      => rounded-sm,
md      => rounded-md,
lg      => rounded-lg,
xl      => rounded-xl,
2xl     => rounded-2xl,
3xl     => rounded-3xl,
full    => rounded-full,
-->
<x-carousel ... round="xl" />

# Different Cover Image 

<!-- Using a dedicated attribute -->
<x-carousel :images="[
    ['src' => url('assets/images/wallpapers/1.jpg'), 'alt' => 'Wallpaper 1'],
    ['src' => url('assets/images/wallpapers/2.jpg'), 'alt' => 'Wallpaper 2'],
    ['src' => url('assets/images/wallpapers/3.jpg'), 'alt' => 'Wallpaper 3'],
]" :cover="2" />
 
<!-- Setting per file -->
<x-carousel :images="[
    ['src' => url('assets/images/wallpapers/1.jpg'), 'alt' => 'Wallpaper 1'],
    ['src' => url('assets/images/wallpapers/2.jpg'), 'alt' => 'Wallpaper 2', 'cover' => true],
    ['src' => url('assets/images/wallpapers/3.jpg'), 'alt' => 'Wallpaper 3'],
]" />

# Shuffle

An option to shuffle the images in the carousel. 

<x-carousel :images="[
    ['src' => url('assets/images/wallpapers/1.jpg'), 'alt' => 'Wallpaper 1'],
    ['src' => url('assets/images/wallpapers/2.jpg'), 'alt' => 'Wallpaper 2'],
    ['src' => url('assets/images/wallpapers/3.jpg'), 'alt' => 'Wallpaper 3'],
]" shuffle />

# Autoplay 

<x-carousel :images="[
    ['src' => url('assets/images/wallpapers/1.jpg'), 'alt' => 'Wallpaper 1'],
    ['src' => url('assets/images/wallpapers/2.jpg'), 'alt' => 'Wallpaper 2'],
    ['src' => url('assets/images/wallpapers/3.jpg'), 'alt' => 'Wallpaper 3'],
]" autoplay />
 
<!-- You can use "interval" to control the time in seconds. -->
<x-carousel ... autoplay interval="2" />

# Autoplay, Stop on Hover 

<x-carousel :images="[
    ['src' => url('assets/images/wallpapers/1.jpg'), 'alt' => 'Wallpaper 1'],
    ['src' => url('assets/images/wallpapers/2.jpg'), 'alt' => 'Wallpaper 2'],
    ['src' => url('assets/images/wallpapers/3.jpg'), 'alt' => 'Wallpaper 3'],
]" autoplay stop-on-hover />

# Autoplay, Without Loop 

<x-carousel :images="[
    ['src' => url('assets/images/wallpapers/1.jpg'), 'alt' => 'Wallpaper 1'],
    ['src' => url('assets/images/wallpapers/2.jpg'), 'alt' => 'Wallpaper 2'],
    ['src' => url('assets/images/wallpapers/3.jpg'), 'alt' => 'Wallpaper 3'],
]" autoplay without-loop />

# Without Indicators 

<x-carousel :images="[
    ['src' => url('assets/images/wallpapers/1.jpg'), 'alt' => 'Wallpaper 1'],
    ['src' => url('assets/images/wallpapers/2.jpg'), 'alt' => 'Wallpaper 2'],
    ['src' => url('assets/images/wallpapers/3.jpg'), 'alt' => 'Wallpaper 3'],
]" without-indicators />

# Thumbnails
NEW

An option to render a row of small square tiles below the slides. 

<x-carousel :images="[
    ['src' => url('assets/images/wallpapers/1.jpg'), 'alt' => 'Wallpaper 1'],
    ['src' => url('assets/images/wallpapers/2.jpg'), 'alt' => 'Wallpaper 2'],
    ['src' => url('assets/images/wallpapers/3.jpg'), 'alt' => 'Wallpaper 3'],
]" thumbnails />

Clicking a tile moves the carousel to that slide and restarts the autoplay timer, exactly like the dot indicators. The tile of the current slide carries a primary ring and aria-current="true" , the other tiles carry a subtle gray ring. The strip already shows the position, so thumbnails implies without-indicators . The tiles follow the shuffle order and round applies to them the same way it applies to the slides. 

<x-carousel :images="[
    ['src' => url('assets/images/wallpapers/1.jpg'), 'alt' => 'Wallpaper 1'],
    ['src' => url('assets/images/wallpapers/2.jpg'), 'alt' => 'Wallpaper 2'],
    ['src' => url('assets/images/wallpapers/3.jpg'), 'alt' => 'Wallpaper 3'],
    ['src' => url('assets/images/wallpapers/4.jpg'), 'alt' => 'Wallpaper 4'],
    ['src' => url('assets/images/wallpapers/5.jpg'), 'alt' => 'Wallpaper 5'],
    ['src' => url('assets/images/wallpapers/6.jpg'), 'alt' => 'Wallpaper 6'],
    ['src' => url('assets/images/wallpapers/7.jpg'), 'alt' => 'Wallpaper 7'],
    ['src' => url('assets/images/wallpapers/8.jpg'), 'alt' => 'Wallpaper 8'],
    ['src' => url('assets/images/wallpapers/9.jpg'), 'alt' => 'Wallpaper 9'],
]" thumbnails :limit="5" round="xl" />

limit caps the number of tiles, six by default. When the carousel holds more images than the limit, the last tile keeps its image under a +N overlay counting the images left out of the strip. Clicking it moves to that image and the arrows keep going from there. While the current slide sits beyond the visible tiles, the last tile keeps the highlight. 

<x-carousel :images="[
    ['src' => url('assets/images/wallpapers/1.jpg'), 'alt' => 'Wallpaper 1'],
    ['src' => url('assets/images/wallpapers/2.jpg'), 'alt' => 'Wallpaper 2'],
    ['src' => url('assets/images/wallpapers/3.jpg'), 'alt' => 'Wallpaper 3'],
]" thumbnails without-highlight />

without-highlight drops the primary ring, so every tile shares the inactive look while aria-current keeps marking the current slide for assistive technology.

Click a thumbnail to jump to that photo. 

<x-carousel :images="[
    ['src' => url('assets/images/wallpapers/1.jpg'), 'alt' => 'Wallpaper 1'],
    ['src' => url('assets/images/wallpapers/2.jpg'), 'alt' => 'Wallpaper 2'],
    ['src' => url('assets/images/wallpapers/3.jpg'), 'alt' => 'Wallpaper 3'],
]" thumbnails autoplay :interval="5" stop-on-hover>
    <x-slot:footer>
        <p class="mt-2 text-sm text-gray-500">Click a thumbnail to jump to that photo.</p>
    </x-slot:footer>
</x-carousel>

The strip sits between the slides and the footer slot.

limit and without-highlight require thumbnails , and limit must be at least 2
You can turn the strip on for every carousel, and set the default limit and without-highlight , in the configuration file. The inline attributes always win, so :thumbnails="false" hides the strip on a single carousel. without-highlight is only read when the strip renders, so a carousel without thumbnails ignores it instead of throwing.

# Clickable

An option to allow the images to be expanded when clicked.

     outside the image also close it. -->
<x-carousel :images="[
    ['src' => url('assets/images/wallpapers/1.jpg'), 'alt' => 'Wallpaper 1'],

<!-- The lightbox dispatches expand/collapse events on the carousel root.
     $event.detail will receive: {image: object|null} -->
<x-carousel :images="[...]" clickable
    x-on:expand="alert('Lightbox opened: ' + $event.detail.image.alt)"
    x-on:collapse="alert('Lightbox closed')" />

# Clickable Caption

An option to display a title and description in the lightbox.

# Events 

<!--
The "next" and "previous" events fire both for the main carousel view
and for in-lightbox navigation when "navigable" is enabled. The same
listeners cover both cases without changes.
$event.detail will receive: {current: integer, image: object{current image}}
 -->
 
<x-carousel :images="[
    ['src' => url('assets/images/wallpapers/1.jpg'), 'alt' => 'Wallpaper 1'],
    ['src' => url('assets/images/wallpapers/2.jpg'), 'alt' => 'Wallpaper 2'],
    ['src' => url('assets/images/wallpapers/3.jpg'), 'alt' => 'Wallpaper 3'],
]" x-on:next="alert('Navigated to the next image')"
   x-on:previous="alert('Navigated to the previous image')" />
 
<!--
"expand" and "collapse" fire only on the actual open/close transitions
of the lightbox — not on each step of the in-lightbox navigation. Use
"next" / "previous" to track navigation inside the lightbox.
 -->
Event Detail Fired when
expand { image } The lightbox opens
collapse { image: null } The lightbox closes
next { current, image } The carousel or lightbox steps forward
previous { current, image } The carousel or lightbox steps backward
