carouselbrutalismmotion on file

A client-side React carousel shipped as a shadcn registry component. It wraps Embla with composable container, slide, and navigation primitives, and relies on Tailwind classes, Lucide icons, the registry's neobrutalist Button, and a cn utility.

What the harness recorded

BARE BUILD

error during build:
[vite]: Rollup failed to resolve import "lucide-react" from "<sandbox>re-ac66fb87c6d7/src/cut/components/ui/carousel.tsx".

Verdict

A solid, composable Embla wrapper with clean keyboard controls and no detected accessibility violations. It builds and mounts as supplied, but its side-mounted controls overflow at the narrow viewport, so responsive placement needs attention before production use.

Use it if

  • You want an Embla-based carousel that can expose its API and accept plugins.
  • Your interface already uses neobrutalist theme tokens and matching button styles.
  • You need horizontal or vertical slides with keyboard and button navigation.

Skip it if

  • Your carousel must fit narrow screens without adjusting the externally positioned navigation buttons.
  • You want a dependency-free slider or do not want Embla in the client bundle.
  • Your design system cannot supply the custom Button, cn helper, and neobrutalist Tailwind tokens.

In a non-shadcn project, add Embla React and Lucide icons, provide a compatible Button component, wire a cn helper with clsx and tailwind-merge, and define the Tailwind utilities and neobrutalist theme tokens used by the component.
