react-multi-carousel is not rendering

Question

I'm getting data from the state. Now I want to make a carousel slider using react-multi-carousel

I am trying to implement https://www.npmjs.com/package/react-multi-carousel for a news card component that has data coming from the API. So far my code is as follows, but the carousel does not seem to be implementing?

Child Component

import Carousel from 'react-multi-carousel';
import 'react-multi-carousel/lib/styles.css'

    const responsive = {
        superLargeDesktop: {
          breakpoint: { max: 4000, min: 3000 },
          items: 5
        },
        desktop: {
          breakpoint: { max: 3000, min: 1024 },
          items: 3
        },
        tablet: {
          breakpoint: { max: 1024, min: 464 },
          items: 2
        },
        mobile: {
          breakpoint: { max: 464, min: 0 },
          items: 1
        }
    };
    const size = 15;
    const Itemlist = props.data.slice(0, size).map((item,id) => {
        return(
            <div className="item px-2 col-md-3" key={item.title}>
            <div className="alith_latest_trading_img_position_relative">
                <figure className="alith_post_thumb"> 
                <Link
                to={{
                    pathname : `/details/${id}`,
                }}
                >
                <img
                    alt=""
                    src={item.multimedia ? item.multimedia[0].url : image}
                    className="w-100 thumbnail"
                />
                </Link>
                </figure>
                <div className="alith_post_title_small">
                <Link
                to={{
                    pathname : `/details/${id}`,
                }}
                ><strong>{item.title.length > 30 ? item.title.substring(0,30) + ".." : item.title}</strong>
                </Link>
                <p className="meta">
                    <span>{`${moment(item.published_date).fromNow()}`}</span>
                </p>
                </div>
            </div>
        </div>
        )
    })
    return (
        <React.Fragment>
            <Carousel responsive={responsive}>
                  {Itemlist}
            </Carousel>
        </React.Fragment>
    );
};

Parent Component

    state = {
        items : []
    }
    fetchLatestNews = () => {
        api.getRealFeed()
        .then(response=>{
            this.setState({
                items : response.data.results
            });
        })
    }
    componentDidMount = () => {
        this.fetchLatestNews();
    }
    render(){
        return(
        <React.Fragment>
            <Item data={this.state.items}/>
        </React.Fragment>
)}};

I had the same issue,

Take a look at the specific props. You can add a class to the container, slide or item for adding your css rules. In my case, I had to define a width to the containerClass.

<Carousel
   containerClass="carousel-container"
   itemClass="carousel-item"
>
 ... // Your carousel here

And in your css file:

.carousel-container {
  width: 100%;
  ...
 }

I'm not sure if this will help, but I had an issue where the carousel becomes empty when I set the prop infinity to true. Turns out it was because the website I'm working on uses bootstrap rtl.

To fix the issue I just changed the direction of the carousel container to be ltr. Something like this:

[dir="rtl"] .carousel-container{
  direction: ltr;
}
