Notes

1. Display and only show the middle slider

Display all sliders with flex to make them in the same row and use CSS transform: translateX(); to adjust the position of every slider.

2. Add class to adjust the appearance

Add class with 'lastSlide', 'activeSlide' and 'nextSlide', it represent from left, middle, and to the right.

3. Check the active slider with index of the data

Put all slides on the right-hand side first, when the person index matches the index state, change the class of the person index from 'nextSlide' into 'activeSlide'

4. Switch slider with setIndex()

Use setIndex(index - 1) and setIndex(index + 1) to switch the slides, and useEffect() to control the edge case:

useEffect(() => {
  const lastIndex = people.length - 1;
  if (index < 0) {
    setIndex(lastIndex);
  }

  if (index > lastIndex) {
    setIndex(0);
  }
}, [index, people]);

5. Move slider automatically

setInterval() with index + 1 to make the slides move automatically

useEffect(() => {
  setInterval(() => {
    setIndex(index + 1);
  }, 3000);
}, [index]);

6. If index changes, clean the setInterval() function

Get Return value from setInterval() and when clicking the next or previous button, it cleared the previous setInterval() by clearInterval().
