Size Considerations and Recommendations

By default, maintainAspectRatio is true, which means height is controlled through proportion.

If you want to have a carousel with constant height (regardless of width), you must set maintainAspectRatio to false.

By default, slideHeight is set to 100%, which will not work if the parent element height isn't defined (i.e. relative heights do not work if the parent height is auto). In that case you could pass a valid css string for slideHeight. You can use any valid css height string like 100px or 25vh.

Play around with the demo to see how you can use this carousel with or without explicit parent height.

With parent elements that have height:auto

• use proportion if you want a carousel that resizes responsively (this is the default configuration).
• use maintainAspectRatio="false" and a non-percentage slideHeight if you want a fixed height carousel.
• DO NOT use relative (%) values for slideHeight; the carousel will not render.

With parent elements that have a set height

• use maintainAspectRatio="false" if you want a fixed height carousel that fills the parent element (slideHeight is 100% by default).
• DO NOT use maintainAspectRatio="false" and slideHeight (unless slideHeight="100%"); the carousel will not render correctly because the buttons and indicators will be positioned with respect to the parent.
• DO NOT use proportion; this will lead to gaps or unwanted overflow.
