export default {
  ...
  components: {
    Carousel,
    Slide
  }
  ...

HTML Structure

Once the Carousel and Slide components are installed globally or imported, they can be used in templates in the following manner:

  <carousel :per-page="1" :navigate-to="someLocalProperty" :mouse-drag="false">
    <slide>
      Slide 1 Content
    </slide>
    <slide>
      Slide 2 Content
    </slide>
  </carousel>

To listen for the 'slideclick' event you can do the following:

  <carousel>
    <slide
        data-index="0"
        data-name="MySlideName"
        @slideclick="handleSlideClick">
      Slide 1 Content
    </slide>
    ...
  </carousel>
  handleSlideClick (dataset) => {
    console.log(dataset.index, dataset.name)
  }
