What it is

A dependency-free carousel engine, v8, with a React wrapper. It handles touch, momentum, looping, autoplay and variable slide widths while leaving markup and styling to you. It is the engine behind shadcn's Carousel component.

Why it earns a slot

Carousels look trivial and are not: touch momentum, loop seams and accessibility all bite. Embla is small and unopinionated where older sliders drag in jQuery-era baggage.

Know before you commit

Features like autoplay and fade are separate plugin packages. Being headless, you write all the CSS — expect layout work for the slide track.

Getting started
