2.14.0

Carousel

A web-component powered carousel component for cycling through a series of content such as images, text, or cards.

Bolt's Component Explorer is being upgraded. It'll return in a future release!

The <bolt-carousel> provides all the basic functionality expected with a modern carousel with a sliding effect, left/right arrow buttons, and page dots. The user can move between each carousel slide with touch, the mouse, the keyboard, or a trackpad.

Under the hood, the <bolt-carousel> component uses the excellent Swiper library to provide top-notice mobile, responsive, and touch support.
