Overview
Objective:

Use case:
This component should be used sparingly. An example of when a carousel can be used is if there is a gallery of images.
Business rules
BR-# | Business rules |
---|---|
BR-1 | There is no limit set to how many slides can be housed in a module. It is recommended that the module should house a minimum of 3 and a maximum of 5 slides to be displayed. Elements will update as the user navigates through the carousel. |
BR-2 | The following variations apply to the module, depending on where it's placed:
|
BR-3 | Will the slides auto-rotate across all devices? By default, slides will not auto-rotate on Desktop or touch-devices. |
BR-4 | How can slides be toggled for display on touch-devices? On touch-devices, slides can be toggled on the display through swiping in addition to interacting with the Navigation arrows. |
BR-5 | What is the expected behaviour/ functionality of the Navigation arrows? Navigation arrows should allow for continuous navigation.
|
BR-6 | How can the image be authored across on Desktop and Mobile? The content author can only add an image to the module - the image will be scaled to fit the module. It is recommended that the image added by content author has a 2:1 aspect ratio ideally with a minimum 1440px width for resolution on Desktop. On mobile breakpoints, an optional mobile image can be authored which replaces the primary image at a defined mobile breakpoint. However, if no separate mobile image is chosen in the mobile image field, a resized version of the desktop image uploaded will be used instead for mobile. |
