Bootstrap 5 Testimonial Slider #2

Another simple responsive Bootstrap 5 testimonial slider using the Bootstrap carousel with multiple items.

Final output:

---

1. I’ll be using the Bootstrap 5 Carousel Multiple Items slider from a previous post for the Bootstrap testimonial slider.

(Rerun when changing sizes)

See the Pen Bootstrap carousel multiple items increment by 1 (jQuery) by Coding Yaar (@codingyaar) on CodePen.

For Bootstrap 5.2+, add wrap: false to stop the continuous cycle.

var carousel = new bootstrap.Carousel(multipleCardCarousel, {
  interval: false,
  wrap: false,
});

2. Install Bootstrap icons. Add the quotes icon inside the card. Wrap it in a div and use the display class to increase its size. Change the font color using the class text-body-tertiary.

<div class="display-2 text-body-tertiary">
    <i class="bi bi-quote"></i>
</div>

Remove the button. Place the image and the card title inside another div in the card body below the card-text. Let’s remove the img-wrapper div and use even-size images. Use flex to align items. And add some padding on top.

<div class="d-flex align-items-center pt-2">
    <img src="..." alt="">
    <div>
        <h5 class="card-title fw-bold">Jane Doe</h5>
        <span class="text-secondary">CEO, Example Company</span>
    </div>
</div>

Remove the img-wrapper and img styles and use this instead. Specify the image width and height. For a circular image, set the border radius to 50% and overflow to hidden. Add some right margin.

.carousel img {
  width: 70px;
  max-height: 70px;
  border-radius: 50%;
  margin-right: 1rem;
  overflow: hidden;
}

This is how the testimonial card HTML should look:

<div class="card">
    <div class="quotes display-2 text-body-tertiary">
        <i class="bi bi-quote"></i>
    </div>
    <div class="card-body">
        <p class="card-text">Some quick example text to build on the card title and make up the bulk of
            the card's content.</p>
        <div class="d-flex align-items-center pt-2">
            <img src="..." alt="">
            <div>
                <h5 class="card-title fw-bold">Jane Doe</h5>
                <span class="text-secondary">CEO, Example Company</span>
            </div>
        </div>
    </div>
</div>

Output:

3. Let’s display three cards only on large screens. For screens with a width of 576px to 1024px, display only two cards.

@media screen and (min-width: 576px) {
  .carousel-item {
    display: block;
    margin-right: 0;
    flex: 0 0 calc(100% / 2);
  }
}
@media screen and (min-width: 1024px) {
  .carousel-item {
    flex: 0 0 calc(100% / 3);
  }
}

Let’s place the carousel controls away from the cards(currently overlapping).

.carousel-inner {
  display: flex;
  width: 90%;
  margin-inline: auto;
  padding: 1em 0;
  overflow: hidden;
}

Output:

4. You can change the box shadow for the card. I’m changing to a smaller shadow using the Bootstrap class shadow-sm. Set the border to 0. Change the border-radius too(rounded-3).

<div class="card shadow-sm border-0 rounded-3">

Change the background color for the controls.

.carousel-control-prev,
  .carousel-control-next {
    width: 3rem;
    height: 3rem;
    background-color: grey;
    border-radius: 50%;
    top: 50%;
    transform: translateY(-50%);
  }
