Import #


import { CarouselModule } from 'primeng/carousel';

Basic #

Carousel requires a collection of items as its value along with a template to render each item.


<p-carousel [value]="products" [numVisible]="3" [numScroll]="3" [circular]="false" [responsiveOptions]="responsiveOptions">
    <ng-template let-product pTemplate="item">
        <div class="border-1 surface-border border-round m-2 text-center py-5 px-3">
            <div class="mb-3">
                <img src="https://primefaces.org/cdn/primeng/images/demo/product/{{ product.image }}" [alt]="product.name" class="w-6 shadow-2" />
            </div>
            <div>
                <h4 class="mb-1">{{ product.name }}</h4>
                <h6 class="mt-0 mb-3">{{ '$' + product.price }}</h6>
                <p-tag [value]="product.inventoryStatus" [severity]="getSeverity(product.inventoryStatus)"></p-tag>
                <div class="mt-5 flex align-items-center justify-content-center gap-2">
                    <p-button icon="pi pi-search" [rounded]="true" />
                    <p-button icon="pi pi-star-fill" [rounded]="true" severity="secondary" />
                </div>
            </div>
        </div>
    </ng-template>
</p-carousel>

Circular #

When autoplayInterval is defined in milliseconds, items are scrolled automatically. In addition, for infinite scrolling circular property needs to be added which is enabled automatically in auto play mode.


<p-carousel [value]="products" [numVisible]="3" [numScroll]="3" [circular]="true" [responsiveOptions]="responsiveOptions" autoplayInterval="3000">
    <ng-template let-product pTemplate="item">
        <div class="border-1 surface-border border-round m-2 text-center py-5 px-3">
            <div class="mb-3">
                <img src="https://primefaces.org/cdn/primeng/images/demo/product/{{ product.image }}" [alt]="product.name" class="w-6 shadow-2" />
            </div>
            <div>
                <h4 class="mb-1">{{ product.name }}</h4>
                <h6 class="mt-0 mb-3">{{ '$' + product.price }}</h6>
                <p-tag [value]="product.inventoryStatus" [severity]="getSeverity(product.inventoryStatus)"></p-tag>
                <div class="mt-5 flex align-items-center justify-content-center gap-2">
                <p-button icon="pi pi-search" [rounded]="true" />
                <p-button icon="pi pi-star-fill" [rounded]="true" severity="secondary" />
            </div>
            </div>
        </div>
    </ng-template>
</p-carousel>

Responsive #

Carousel supports specific configuration per screen size with the responsiveOptions property that takes an array of objects where each object defines the max-width breakpoint, numVisible for the number of items items per page and numScroll for number of items to scroll. When responsiveOptions is defined, the numScroll and numVisible properties of the Carousel are used as default when there is breakpoint that applies.


<p-carousel [value]="products" [numVisible]="3" [numScroll]="1" [responsiveOptions]="responsiveOptions">
    <ng-template let-product pTemplate="item">
        <div class="product-item">
            <div class="product-item-content">
                <div class="mb-3">
                    <img src="https://primefaces.org/cdn/primeng/images/demo/product/{{ product.image }}" [alt]="product.name" class="product-image" />
                </div>
                <div>
                    <h4 class="mb-1">{{ product.name }}</h4>
                    <h6 class="mt-0 mb-3">{{ '$' + product.price }}</h6>
                    <p-tag [value]="product.inventoryStatus" [severity]="getSeverity(product.inventoryStatus)"></p-tag>
                    <div class="mt-5 flex align-items-center justify-content-center gap-2">
                    <p-button icon="pi pi-search" [rounded]="true" />
                    <p-button icon="pi pi-star-fill" [rounded]="true" severity="secondary" />
                </div>
                </div>
            </div>
        </div>
    </ng-template>
</p-carousel>

Vertical #

<p-carousel [value]="products" [numVisible]="3" [numScroll]="1" orientation="vertical" verticalViewPortHeight="360px" [responsiveOptions]="responsiveOptions">
    <ng-template let-product pTemplate="item">
        <div class="product-item">
            <div class="product-item-content">
                <div class="mb-3">
                    <img src="https://primefaces.org/cdn/primeng/images/demo/product/{{ product.image }}"[alt]="product.name" class="product-image" />
                </div>
                <div>
                    <h4 class="mb-1">{{product.name}}</h4>
                    <h6 class="mt-0 mb-3">{{product.price}}</h6>
                    <p-tag [value]="product.inventoryStatus" [severity]="getSeverity(product.inventoryStatus)"></p-tag>
                    <div class="mt-5 flex align-items-center justify-content-center gap-2">
                    <p-button icon="pi pi-search" [rounded]="true" />
                    <p-button icon="pi pi-star-fill" [rounded]="true" severity="secondary" />

Accessibility #

Screen Reader

Carousel uses region role and since any attribute is passed to the main container element, attributes such as aria-label and aria-roledescription can be used as well. The slides container has aria-live attribute set as "polite" if carousel is not in autoplay mode, otherwise "off" would be the value in autoplay.

A slide has a group role with an aria-label that refers to the aria.slideNumber property of the locale API. Similarly aria.slide is used as the aria-roledescription of the item. Inactive slides are hidden from the readers with aria-hidden.

Next and Previous navigators are button elements with aria-label attributes referring to the aria.nextPageLabel and aria.firstPageLabel properties of the locale API by default respectively, you may still use your own aria roles and attributes as any valid attribute is passed to the button elements implicitly by using nextButtonProps and prevButtonProps.

Quick navigation elements are button elements with an aria-label attribute referring to the aria.pageLabel of the locale API. Current page is marked with aria-current.
