 <div class="w-full">	<!-- Scroll Container -->	<div class="snap-x scroll-px-4 snap-mandatory scroll-smooth flex gap-4 overflow-x-auto px-4 py-10">		<!-- Generate a array of 8 items; loop through each item -->		{			Array.from({ length: 8 }).map((_, i) => (				// Each scrollable card element				<div class="snap-start shrink-0 card preset-filled py-20 w-40 md:w-80 text-center">					<span>{i + 1}</span>				</div>			))		}	</div></div>Carousels
Using Scroll Containers, we can create a fully functional carousel, complete with thumbnail selection.

Using Scroll Containers, we can scroll sets of items.
