Carousels are interactive components in web design, often used to display multiple images or content sequentially. They're useful for showcasing images one after another, with captions providing additional context or information. We will see how to create a responsive carousel with captions in Bootstrap.

Approach

  • First, create a basic HTML structure for the carousel and add the Bootstrap 5 CDN links.
  • Then use the "container" class which contains the carousel and then use the "carousel" class to define the carousel.
  • Within the carousel, use the "carousel-inner" to hold the carousel items. Each carousel item should include an image (<img>) and a caption (<div class="carousel-caption">).
  • And use those utility classes like "carousel-caption", "img-fluid", "bg-dark", "bg-gradient", and "text-light" for caption, to make the responsive image, background colors, and text color.
  • Use flexbox utilities like "d-flex" and "justify-content-center" to center the carousel horizontally.
