📚 Description

This PR builds the Carousel on the primitives from unovue/reka-ui#3262 instead of Embla, so the 8 embla-carousel* peer dependencies are gone. The viewport is a native scroller with CSS scroll snapping, so it scrolls before hydration too.

The current slide becomes a v-model, replacing start-index and @select, and v-model:playing starts or stops autoplay and auto-scroll. emblaApi and class-names are removed: the slides get data-active and data-in-view instead. The props and emits are our own types, not Reka's. The labels go through our locale, with a new carousel.slideLabel key in every language.

Measured in headless Chromium with the default theme, every slide lands flush on the viewport for start, center and end alignment, vertical, RTL, loop, three slides per view and native scrolling. The migration guide has a "Carousel built on Reka UI" section.

reka-ui points to the pkg.pr.new build of #3262 until it ships in a 2.x release. That build also carries the unreleased v2 commits since 2.11.0, which is why CI fails outside the Carousel: 640 snapshots, plus 8 tests in Drawer, Popover, Theme and Tooltip.

No actionable comments were generated in the recent review.

Walkthrough

The Carousel component replaces its Embla integration with Reka UI carousel primitives. It adds model-based slide and playback state, active and in-view slot data, and localized slide-position labels. Embla dependencies are removed from package manifests and optimisation lists. The theme, tests, playground, examples, and documentation are updated to reflect the new component API and styling.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes

Merge Risk: Low · up to e9887

The migration guide now covers starting autoplay paused. It still does not say that a per-slide delay function from Embla is unsupported and a single number must be used instead. This is a small documentation gap that is safe to fix as a follow-up.

Explanation

The title "feat(Carousel)!: build on Reka UI primitives" names the main change. The PR replaces the Embla Carousel integration with Reka UI primitives, and the breaking-change marker matches the described API changes (v-model for start-index/@select, removed emblaApi and class-names).

Full details: Description check

Explanation

The description states the Carousel is rebuilt on Reka UI primitives instead of Embla, removes the eight embla-carousel peer dependencies, and explains the v-model, playing, data-active/data-in-view, locale, and migration-guide changes. It also notes the pkg.pr.new reka-ui dependency and the CI failures. This matches the changeset.

Document how to replace playOnInit: false.

Embla's autoplay plugin reads playOnInit and starts only when the value is true. The new Carousel has no playOnInit option. defaultPlaying defaults to true, so autoplay and auto-scroll start rotating by default. A migrated app that keeps playOnInit: false therefore rotates unexpectedly. The migration guide does not mention this.

The impact is a visible behaviour change with a one-prop workaround. The app keeps working, and no data or access is affected.

📝 Suggested documentation addition

+Embla's `playOnInit` option has no equivalent. Playback is enabled by default, so `autoplay` and `auto-scroll` start rotating. To start paused, set `:default-playing="false"`, or bind `v-model:playing` with an initial value of `false`.

Document that per-snap delay functions are no longer supported.

Embla accepted a function for autoplay.delay that returned a delay for each snap. The Carousel delay option now accepts only a number. The migration section lists delay without saying that the function form was removed. Add a note that gives the replacement path, such as a single numeric delay.

For embla-carousel-autoplay 8.6.0, does the delay option accept a function returning an array of per-snap delays? Check the versioned official documentation or source and cite the contract.

@benjamincanac Thanks, the playOnInit example is fixed.

The second finding remains: Line 1680 does not explain that autoplay.delay now accepts only a number. Embla v8 supported a function for per-snap delays. Please note that a single numeric delay cannot preserve different timings for each snap.

I’m not marking the thread as addressed yet.
