The Carousel is also available as an Experience Cloud Component.
Configuring the Data Source is key to effectively utilizing the Avonni Carousel Component. The Data Source is where you define the content of your carousel. It includes three main types of data sources: Manual, Variable, and Query.
Involves manually entering data for carousel items. Useful for static content or predefined items.
Ideal for content that doesn't change frequently or for quick setup with specific items.
Links carousel to variable collections in Salesforce. Items change dynamically with the data.
Suitable when carousel content needs to reflect changing data from Salesforce records.
Enables fetching data through a query, pulling various records/data points from Salesforce.
Ideal for complex data retrieval or when sourcing. Using a 'Get Records' collection is not necessary with this method, as the query itself is powerful enough to simplify your flow.
In addition to selecting the data source, setting up Data Mappings is vital. Data Mappings allow you to link specific fields in your data source to the carousel's properties, ensuring that the correct data from Salesforce is displayed correctly in the carousel.
Link specific fields from your data source (like image URLs or text descriptions) to the corresponding carousel attributes.
Customize which data points control aspects like image display, captions, etc.
This feature is handy when using Variable or Query Data Sources, as it allows the carousel to dynamically present the correct content based on the data it receives.
You can select the number of images that need to be displayed by panel. The item numbers may vary based on the screen size. The component allows you to set the number of images displayed for small, medium, or large devices.
Small is 480px and more, Medium is 768px and more, and Large is 1024px and more. Items per panel allows you to define a default value of items for your carousel.
Disable Auto-Scrolling: Enable 'disable-auto-scroll' toggle to stop the automatic scrolling of images. Users must use indicator buttons to view images.
Remove Control Button: Activate the same toggle ('disable-auto-scroll') to remove the control button.
Disable Continuous Looping: Enable 'disable-auto-refresh' toggle. Images will scroll once and stop at the last image. This works even if 'disable-auto-scroll' is not enabled.
Set Image Display Duration: Adjust the 'scroll-duration' attribute in advanced options to change how long each image is displayed.
First, add action elements to carousel items using the 'Actions' section in the component builder. Create action buttons here.
Interactions define what will happen when users click on an image.
On Item Click: The event is fired when a user clicks on an item in the Carousel.
On Action Click: The event is fired when a user clicks on an action.
From the Styles panel, you can customize styling for the carousel: Margin, Size, Item, Item Title , Item Description and Indicator.
You can find the instructions for styling here.
