v8 Rewrite

[melvin-chen]

Nuka v8

Nuka v8 is an upgrade that aims to simplify the API and align the carousel with modern alternatives.

Highlights

• Size reduced by more than 85% of the original package size
• Much more responsive, don’t have to render two carousels and hide one with CSS for each breakpoint
• Animations aren’t manually done and rely and browser/OS animations that are much more accessible, touch friendly, and result in a smaller bundle size
• You can have different widths for each slide if needed
• Voiceover accessibility is more intuitive for keyboard navigation users.
• Documentation is improved with more in-depth examples and Typescript typing

Breaking Changes

• Removed many props (with reason!). This is documented in the v8 Upgrade Guide page
• Wrap around is not the same as it was before where the carousel would seamlessly flow from the end to the start again. It currently just scrolls backward to the first slide again.
