DEVELOPER API

The package provides a public API for navigation, selection, item management, layouts, style profiles, input, looping, visible slots, and item access.

It also supports UnityEvents and C# events for center changes, selection, clicks, scrolling, item creation/removal, layout changes, and snap transitions.

PERFORMANCE

The carousel uses pooling and item reuse where appropriate to avoid unnecessarily creating large numbers of UI objects.

It is designed to support larger item collections while keeping the number of active visible objects close to the required visible slots where the architecture permits.

MULTIPLE CAROUSELS

Multiple carousels can be used on the same screen, with navigation input controls to prevent keyboard or gamepad input from unintentionally controlling every carousel.
