Overview

The Carousel component displays a series of images one at a time, allowing users to view each image in sequence. It retrieves images from object fields that are of the URL data type, enabling the display of dynamic content.

For example, In a product showcase application, the Carousel component can be used to display a series of product images. Users can view each image in sequence with smooth transitions, and the Carousel can be configured to show only when certain criteria are met, such as on a product detail page.

Onload Event:

We have an onload event that runs when the component is loaded
