Today, I bring you a step-by-step tutorial to create the QuantumCarousel component in React with 3D animations and smooth transitions.

Step 1: Project Setup
Make sure you have Node.js and npm installed on your machine. Then, create a new React project using Create React App:
npx create-react-app quantum-carousel-tutorial cd quantum-carousel-tutorial
Step 2: Project Structure
Organize your project by creating a QuantumCarousel component and a CSS file QuantumCarousel.css for styles.
src/ -- components/ -- QuantumCarousel.js -- App.js -- App.css -- QuantumCarousel.css
Step 3: Install Dependencies
Install necessary dependencies for animations and transitions:
npm install react-transition-group
Step 4: Implement QuantumCarousel
Create the QuantumCarousel.js component in the components folder:
// components/QuantumCarousel.js
import React, { useState, useEffect } from 'react';
import './QuantumCarousel.css';
const QuantumCarousel = ({ images }) => {
const [currentIndex, setCurrentIndex] = useState(0);
useEffect(() => {
const interval = setInterval(() => {
const nextIndex = (currentIndex + 1) % images.length;
setCurrentIndex(nextIndex);
}, 3000); // Cambia de imagen cada 3 segundos
return () => clearInterval(interval);
}, [currentIndex, images.length]);
const handlePrev = () => {
const prevIndex = (currentIndex - 1 + images.length) % images.length;
setCurrentIndex(prevIndex);
};
const handleNext = () => {
const nextIndex = (currentIndex + 1) % images.length;
setCurrentIndex(nextIndex);
};
return (
<div className="quantum-carousel">
<div className="carousel-container">
{images.map((image, index) => (
<div
key={index}
className={`carousel-item ${index === currentIndex ? 'active' : ''}`}
style={{ backgroundImage: `url(${image.src})` }}
>
<h2>{image.title}</h2>
</div>
))}
</div>
<button className="carousel-button prev" onClick={handlePrev}>
‹
</button>
<button className="carousel-button next" onClick={handleNext}>
›
</button>
</div>
);
};
export default QuantumCarousel;
// components/QuantumCarousel.js
import React, { useState, useEffect } from 'react';
import './QuantumCarousel.css';
const QuantumCarousel = ({ images }) => {
const [currentIndex, setCurrentIndex] = useState(0);
useEffect(() => {
const interval = setInterval(() => {
const nextIndex = (currentIndex + 1) % images.length;
setCurrentIndex(nextIndex);
}, 3000); // Cambia de imagen cada 3 segundos
return () => clearInterval(interval);
}, [currentIndex, images.length]);
const handlePrev = () => {
const prevIndex = (currentIndex - 1 + images.length) % images.length;
setCurrentIndex(prevIndex);
};
const handleNext = () => {
const nextIndex = (currentIndex + 1) % images.length;
setCurrentIndex(nextIndex);
};
return (
<div className="quantum-carousel">
<div className="carousel-container">
{images.map((image, index) => (
<div
key={index}
className={`carousel-item ${index === currentIndex ? 'active' : ''}`}
style={{ backgroundImage: `url(${image.src})` }}
>
<h2>{image.title}</h2>
</div>
))}
</div>
<button className="carousel-button prev" onClick={handlePrev}>
‹
</button>
<button className="carousel-button next" onClick={handleNext}>
›
</button>
</div>
);
};
export default QuantumCarousel;
Setp 5: CSS Styles
Create a file named QuantumCarousel.css in the same folder with your component:
/* components/QuantumCarousel.css */
.quantum-carousel {
position: relative;
width: 80%;
margin: 20px auto;
overflow: hidden;
}
.carousel-container {
display: flex;
transition: transform 0.5s ease-in-out;
}
.carousel-item {
flex: 0 0 100%;
height: 300px;
background-size: cover;
display: flex;
align-items: center;
justify-content: center;
color: #fff;
font-size: 24px;
transform: scale(1);
opacity: 0.8;
transition: transform 0.5s ease-in-out, opacity 0.5s ease-in-out;
}
.carousel-item h2 {
margin: 0;
}
.carousel-item.active {
transform: scale(1.2);
opacity: 1;
z-index: 1;
}
.carousel-button {
position: absolute;
top: 50%;
transform: translateY(-50%);
font-size: 24px;
background: none;
border: none;
color: #fff;
cursor: pointer;
outline: none;
}
.carousel-button.prev {
left: 10px;
}
.carousel-button.next {
right: 10px;
}
Step 6: Add to App.js
Use the component QuantumCarrousel in your App.js
// App.js
import React from 'react';
import QuantumCarousel from './components/QuantumCarousel';
const App = () => {
const images = [
{ src: 'image1.jpg', title: 'Imagen 1' },
{ src: 'image2.jpg', title: 'Imagen 2' },
{ src: 'image3.jpg', title: 'Imagen 3' },
// Agrega más imágenes según sea necesario
];
return (
<div>
<h1>¡Carrusel Cuántico Impresionante!</h1>
<QuantumCarousel images={images} />
</div>
);
};
export default App;
// App.js
import React from 'react';
import QuantumCarousel from './components/QuantumCarousel';
const App = () => {
const images = [
{ src: 'image1.jpg', title: 'Imagen 1' },
{ src: 'image2.jpg', title: 'Imagen 2' },
{ src: 'image3.jpg', title: 'Imagen 3' },
// Agrega más imágenes según sea necesario
];
return (
<div>
<h1>¡Carrusel Cuántico Impresionante!</h1>
<QuantumCarousel images={images} />
</div>
);
};
export default App;
Step 7: Exec your APP
Use this command:
npm start
