[Feature]: Introduce a carousel widget

[ramsaptami]

Is there an existing issue for this?

• I have searched the existing issues

Summary

The most obvious use of this widget would be to display visual content like images or videos in a carousel/slide format that most of us are used to seeing.

In addition to displaying images, this widget can be used for different states of a text/input widget for example when a user is logged in versus when viewing the app as a guest user or display employee season discount information based on which group/department the user is from (this information can be gleaned from org/user settings).

Why should this be worked on?

We currently don't allow widgets to be overlapped and this essentially means that widgets need to be placed next to each other taking up valuable real estate on the canvas for a large application especially and user would need to navigate back and forth from one location to another. But a carousel widget can be used to accommodate having a table/list widget for example, and displaying different content that can be navigated to at the same location. This would be helpful for users who need to display and access connected data with minimal redirects to other locations.

I have two use cases,

1. Implement a Netflix like video scroll on user click. I understand this has workaround with current widgets. It is nice to have integrated buttons over video widgets.
2. Automatically updating newsfeed. News to be refreshed every predefine time slot without user interaction. It also should be able to have unique links for individual news item.

The addition of horizontal scrolling to the List widget or “Drawer” in Appsmith would be an improvement. This feature would allow us to display more content in a compact and organized manner. Horizontal scrolling is particularly beneficial for wide datasets or detailed information that needs to be viewed side-by-side.
