Can I move Bootstrap Carousel to the right instead of center? - html

Question

I'm using Bootstrap Carousel, but not sure if it is possible to move the Carousel to the far right instead of putting it in the center. I've looked for an example of it but I could not find any other than moving the indicator to the right. I'd like to move the whole Carousel to the right, so I can have white space on the left. Can I do this with Bootstrap Carousel? Or should I look for some other way?
.mainCarousel {
background-color: whitesmoke;
margin-top: 0;
}

Answer 1

Add these 2 classes .w-75 .ml-auto to .mainCarousel see the example.
And if you don't want .w-75 which contains width: 75% !important; you can add custom width to .mainCarousel in your CSS.
.mainCarousel {
background-color: whitesmoke;
margin-top: 0;
}

Answer 2

If you only just want to have non-writable whitespace on the left of the carousel, use the accepted answer's approach. In fact, you don't even need to set the width to 75%. You can just add left paddings to the carousel.
If you want to have space on the left of the carousel so that you can put some texts there, and you want it to be responsive, use the grid system to construct the layout, and place the carousel on the right column.
The following is just an example. I have no idea how long you want the carousel to be, and/or when you want the left stacks up on top of the right column:
<div class="container-fluid">
<div class="row">
<div class="col-lg-4">
Writable area
</div>
<div class="col-lg-8">
<div class="mainCarousel" />
</div>
</div>
</div>
