With the rising trend in modern web development, React and Tailwind have taken center stage in building interactive and visually appealing web components. One such component — a Carousel — can be an asset for any web application. In this article, we’ll unravel a straightforward method to combine the robustness of React with the simplicity of Tailwind to craft a Carousel.

Setting up React and Tailwind:

1. Start Fresh: To set up the foundation, initiate a new React project with:

npx create-react-app my-carousel

2. Navigate to Your Project:

cd my-carousel

3. Time for Tailwind: Integrate the Tailwind CSS framework:

npm install tailwindcss

4. Initialise the Power of Tailwind:

npx tailwindcss init

5. Let’s Integrate: Link Tailwind to the project in the src/index.css file:

@import 'tailwindcss/base';
@import 'tailwindcss/components';
@import 'tailwindcss/utilities';

Building the Carousel:

1. Clean Slate: Clear out any default content in src/App.js.
