To set up Owl Carousel for displaying 3 items at a time, follow these steps:
—
### 1. **Include Owl Carousel Files**
Add the necessary CSS and JavaScript files for Owl Carousel to your project.
#### Using a CDN:
<!-- Owl Carousel CSS -->
<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/OwlCarousel2/2.3.4/assets/owl.carousel.min.css">
<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/OwlCarousel2/2.3.4/assets/owl.theme.default.min.css">
<!-- jQuery -->
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.6.0/jquery.min.js"></script>
<!-- Owl Carousel JS -->
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/OwlCarousel2/2.3.4/owl.carousel.min.js"></script>—
### 2. **Add HTML Structure**
Set up the HTML structure for the carousel.
<div class="owl-carousel">
<div class="item"><h4>Item 1</h4></div>
<div class="item"><h4>Item 2</h4></div>
<div class="item"><h4>Item 3</h4></div>
<div class="item"><h4>Item 4</h4></div>
<div class="item"><h4>Item 5</h4></div>
<div class="item"><h4>Item 6</h4></div>
</div>—
### 3. **Initialize the Carousel**
Add a script to initialize Owl Carousel with 3 items displayed.
<script>
$(document).ready(function(){
$(".owl-carousel").owlCarousel({
loop: true, // Enable looping
margin: 10, // Space between items
nav: true, // Display navigation arrows
responsive: {
0: {
items: 1 // Show 1 item for small screens
},
600: {
items: 2 // Show 2 items for medium screens
},
1000: {
items: 3 // Show 3 items for large screens
}
}
});
});
</script>—
### 4. **Styling (Optional)**
Add some basic styling for the carousel items.
<style>
.item {
background: #4caf50;
padding: 20px;
margin: 10px;
color: white;
text-align: center;
border-radius: 10px;
}
</style>—
### Result:
You’ll have a responsive Owl Carousel displaying 3 items at a time for large screens, 2 items for medium screens, and 1 item for smaller screens.

responsive: {
0: {
items: 1 // Show 1 item for small screens
