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.

Attributes

Attributes are the options available for each component, allowing you to customize its appearance and functionality. They help you tailor the look and behavior of your components to fit your needs.

It will provide a better look and feel for our applications Flip: Flip animation is viewed by viewing successive images in a quick motion so that they seem to form a sequence. A flip animation is a simple type of animation created by viewing successive images so quickly that they seem to form a sequence. Jack-in-the-Box: A Jack In The Box, Creates a transition effect by imitating a popular joke toy movement. It starts with the central fading in and continues with shaking from one side to another.

This feature is particularly useful when combining conditions that should be evaluated as a unit (logical OR within a group) or when nesting conditions for more advanced logic.

Events:

Events are essentially the automation of invoking the component's actions.
Here, we have onload event, click, event actions are available for this components

Icon Events	Description
onload	This event action is triggered when the Carousel component is loaded.
click	This event action is triggered when the Carousel is clicked.

Below here is the onload event workflow action.

Note: Similarly you can create event action for click.

In the image below, you can select the created workflows.

Note: "You need to create a workflow for selecting from this list.

For more information about Workflow check this out.

Reference: Workflow

onload Events:

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

For example, when a form is loaded, you can choose fields to be prepopulated by mapping field values using input mapping at the time the form component is loaded.

Input Mapping

Input Mapping: "Whenever an event is triggered and you want to pass data to destinations such as models, variables, or components, you can use input mapping to achieve that.
