export default {
  props: {
    releases: {
      type: Array,
      required: true
    }
  },
  setup(props) {
    const carouselConfig = {
      wrapAround: true,
      itemsToShow: 3,
      snapAlign: 'center',
      autoplay: 2000,
      breakpoints: {
        600: {
          itemsToShow: 1,
          snapAlign: 'start'
        },
        1000: {
          itemsToShow: 2,
          snapAlign: 'start'
        },
        1200: {
          itemsToShow: 3,
          snapAlign: 'start'

    return { carouselConfig, releases: props.releases }
  },
  components: {
    Carousel,
    Slide
  }
}

    <Slide v-for="(item, index) in releases" :key="index">
      <div class="text-center p-2 bg-white">
