Display images or content in a scrollable area.
Drag with your mouse, scroll with your mouse wheel or use the navigation arrows to navigate.
Pass an array to the items
prop and use the default slot to display the content of each item.
<script setup lang="ts">
const items = [
'https://picsum.photos/600/800?random=1',
'https://picsum.photos/600/800?random=2',
'https://picsum.photos/600/800?random=3',
'https://picsum.photos/600/800?random=4',
'https://picsum.photos/600/800?random=5',
'https://picsum.photos/600/800?random=6'
]
</script>
<template>
<UCarousel v-slot="{ item }" :items="items">
<img :src="item" width="300" height="400" draggable="false">
</UCarousel>
</template>
The carousel will snap the item to the center (snap-center
). You can use the snap
utility classes to change this behavior using the ui
prop:
<script setup lang="ts">
const items = [
'https://picsum.photos/400/600?random=1',
'https://picsum.photos/400/600?random=2',
'https://picsum.photos/400/600?random=3',
'https://picsum.photos/400/600?random=4',
'https://picsum.photos/400/600?random=5',
'https://picsum.photos/400/600?random=6'
]
</script>
<template>
<UCarousel v-slot="{ item }" :items="items" :ui="{ item: 'snap-start' }">

</UCarousel>
</template>

scroll-snap-align
property on the Tailwind CSS documentation.
Each item will take its own size by default in the carousel. You can use the basis
/ width
utility classes to change this behavior using the ui
prop:
<script setup lang="ts">
const items = [
'https://picsum.photos/600/600?random=1',
'https://picsum.photos/600/600?random=2',
'https://picsum.photos/600/600?random=3',
'https://picsum.photos/600/600?random=4',
'https://picsum.photos/600/600?random=5',
'https://picsum.photos/600/600?random=6'
]
</script>
<template>
<UCarousel v-slot="{ item }" :items="items" :ui="{ item: 'basis-full md:basis-1/2 lg:basis-1/3' }">
<img :src="item" class="w-full" draggable="false">
</UCarousel>
</template>
You can also set a width on the container to center the carousel:
<script setup lang="ts">
const items = [
'https://picsum.photos/600/800?random=1',
'https://picsum.photos/600/800?random=2',
'https://picsum.photos/600/800?random=3',
'https://picsum.photos/600/800?random=4',
'https://picsum.photos/600/800?random=5',
'https://picsum.photos/600/800?random=6'
]
</script>
<template>
<UCarousel v-slot="{ item }" :items="items" :ui="{ item: 'basis-full' }" class="w-64 mx-auto rounded-lg overflow-hidden">
<img :src="item" class="w-full" draggable="false">
</UCarousel>
</template>
Learn more about the
flex-basis
property on the Tailwind CSS documentation.
Use the arrows
prop to enable prev and next buttons, they will be automatically disabled when the carousel reaches the first or last item.
<script setup lang="ts">
const items = [
'https://picsum.photos/1920/1080?random=1',
'https://picsum.photos/1920/1080?random=2',
'https://picsum.photos/1920/1080?random=3',

<img :src="item" class="w-full" draggable="false">
</UCarousel>
</template>
You can also customize the prev and next buttons using the prev-button
and next-button
props:
<script setup lang="ts">
const items = [
'https://picsum.photos/600/800?random=1',
'https://picsum.photos/600/800?random=2',
'https://picsum.photos/600/800?random=3',
'https://picsum.photos/600/800?random=4',
'https://picsum.photos/600/800?random=5',
'https://picsum.photos/600/800?random=6'
]
</script>
<template>
<UCarousel
v-slot="{ item }"
:items="items"
:ui="{
item: 'basis-full',
container: 'rounded-lg'
}"
:prev-button="{
color: 'gray',
icon: 'i-heroicons-arrow-left-20-solid',
class: '-start-12'
}"
:next-button="{
color: 'gray',
icon: 'i-heroicons-arrow-right-20-solid',
class: '-end-12'
}"
arrows
class="w-64 mx-auto"
>
<img :src="item" class="w-full" draggable="false">
</UCarousel>
</template>
In this example, we move the buttons outside of the carousel container. You can also change this globally in ui.carousel.default.prevButton
and ui.carousel.default.nextButton
.
Use the indicators
prop to display a list of buttons at the bottom of the carousel to navigate between items.
<script setup lang="ts">
const items = [
'https://picsum.photos/1920/1080?random=1',
'https://picsum.photos/1920/1080?random=2',
'https://picsum.photos/1920/1080?random=3',
'https://picsum.photos/1920/1080?random=4',
'https://picsum.photos/1920/1080?random=5',
'https://picsum.photos/1920/1080?random=6'
]
</script>
<template>
<UCarousel v-slot="{ item }" :items="items" :ui="{ item: 'basis-full' }" class="rounded-lg overflow-hidden" indicators>
<img :src="item" class="w-full" draggable="false">
</UCarousel>
</template>
The number of indicators will be automatically generated based on the number of items:
<script setup lang="ts">
const items = [
'https://picsum.photos/600/600?random=1',
'https://picsum.photos/600/600?random=2',
'https://picsum.photos/600/600?random=3',
'https://picsum.photos/600/600?random=4',
'https://picsum.photos/600/600?random=5',
'https://picsum.photos/600/600?random=6'
]
</script>
<template>
<UCarousel v-slot="{ item }" :items="items" :ui="{ item: 'basis-full md:basis-1/2 lg:basis-1/3' }" indicators class="rounded-lg overflow-hidden">
<img :src="item" class="w-full" draggable="false">
</UCarousel>
</template>
You can customize the position of the buttons through
ui.indicators.wrapper
.
You can easily implement an autoplay behavior using the exposed API through a template ref:
<script setup lang="ts">
const items = [
'https://picsum.photos/1920/1080?random=1',
'https://picsum.photos/1920/1080?random=2',
'https://picsum.photos/1920/1080?random=3',
'https://picsum.photos/1920/1080?random=4',
'https://picsum.photos/1920/1080?random=5',
'https://picsum.photos/1920/1080?random=6'
]
const carouselRef = ref()
onMounted(() => {
setInterval(() => {
if (!carouselRef.value) return
if (carouselRef.value.page === carouselRef.value.pages) {
return carouselRef.value.select(0)
}
carouselRef.value.next()
}, 3000)
})
</script>
<template>
<UCarousel

class="rounded-lg overflow-hidden"
indicators

<img :src="item" class="w-full" draggable="false">

You can put anything inside the default slot, not only images. You will have access to the item

properties in the slot scope:
<script setup lang="ts">
