Loop a series of images or texts in a limited space
:::demo Combine el-carousel with el-carousel-item, and you'll get a carousel. Content of each slide is completely customizable, and you just need to place it inside el-carousel-item tag. By default the carousel switches when mouse hovers over an indicator. Set trigger to click, and the carousel switches only when an indicator is clicked.
carousel/basic

Add motion blur to infuse dynamism and smoothness into the carousel.
:::demo Enabling motion blur enhances the dynamism and smoothness of the carousel. By default, the motion-blur parameter is set to false, activating this feature and providing a visually engaging experience.

Indicators can be displayed outside the carousel
:::demo The indicator-position attribute determines where the indicators are located. By default they are inside the carousel, and setting indicator-position to outside moves them outside; setting indicator-position to none hides the indicators.
carousel/indicator

You can define when arrows are displayed
:::demo The arrow attribute determines when arrows are displayed. By default they appear when mouse hovers over the carousel. Setting arrow to always or never shows/hides the arrows permanently.
carousel/arrows
:::
When the height of carousel is set to auto, the carousel height will be automatically set according to the height of the carousel item

When a page is wide enough but has limited height, you can activate card mode for carousels
:::demo Setting type to card activates the card mode. Apart from the appearance, the biggest difference between card mode and common mode is that clicking the slides at both sides directly switches the carousel in card mode.
