# Carousel: Adding and removing slides

> Dots, the counter and the buttons update as slides come and go.

Example: https://hextaui.com/docs/carousel/examples/dynamic
Component docs: https://hextaui.com/docs/carousel.md

## Add this example

```bash
npx shadcn@latest add https://hextaui.com/r/carousel-dynamic.json
```

This adds `components/examples/carousel/dynamic.tsx` with the Carousel component and the HextaUI theme tokens.

  const [slides, setSlides] = React.useState([1, 2, 3])

  return (
    <div className="flex w-full max-w-md flex-col gap-3">
