### Carousel
Renders a carousel component.
Initially set `state.active` to `0` (index of the first item).
Use an object, `style`, to hold the styles for the individual components.
Define a method, `setActiveItem`, which uses `this.setState` to change the state's `active` property to the index of the next item.
Define another method, `changeItem`, which is called by `setActiveItem` after updating the state each time and also when the component
first renders (on `ComponentDidMount`).
In the `render()` method, destructure `state`, `style` and `props`, compute if visibility style should be set to `visible` or not for each carousel item while mapping over and applying the combined style to the carousel item component accordingly.
Render the carousel items using [React.cloneElement](https://reactjs.org/docs/react-api.html#cloneelement) and pass down rest
`props` along with the computed styles.
```jsx
class Carousel extends React.Component {
constructor(props) {
super(props);
this.state = {
active: 0
};
this.scrollInterval = null;
this.style = {
carousel: {
position: "relative"
},
carouselItem: {
position: "absolute",
visibility: "hidden"
},
visible: {
visibility: "visible"
}
};
}
componentDidMount() {
this.changeItem();
}
setActiveItem = () => {
const { carouselItems } = this.props;
this.setState(
prevState => ({
active: (prevState.active + 1) % carouselItems.length
}),
this.changeItem
);
};
changeItem = () => {
this.scrollInterval = setTimeout(this.setActiveItem, 2000);
};
render() {
const { carouselItems, ...rest } = this.props;
const { active } = this.state;
const { visible, carousel, carouselItem } = this.style;
return (
<div style={carousel}>
{carouselItems.map((item, index) => {
const activeStyle = active === index ? visible : {};
return React.cloneElement(item, {
...rest,
style: {
...carouselItem,
...activeStyle
}
});
})}
</div>
);
}
}
```
```jsx
ReactDOM.render(
<Carousel
carouselItems={[
<div>carousel item 1</div>,
<div>carousel item 2</div>,
<div>carousel item 3</div>
]}
/>,
document.getElementById("root")
);
```
