Despite my extensive search efforts, I have found very limited documentation on how to make images within a ReactStrap carousel responsive to resizing.
While the ReactStrap carousel itself is responsive, the images inside it do not resize accordingly.
Some of the options I have explored include:
Using CSS through className in the carousel component - I have tried adjusting background-size, height, and max-width but haven't achieved proper image resizing.
Implementing srcset - I'm unsure how to use this or any other inline attribute within the component.
Considering adjustments within the carousel component itself?
Exploring alternative methods to modify the images effectively?
Is @media with CSS the solution for handling responsiveness?

altText: '',

{
src: 'img3.png',
altText: '',
caption: ''
}
];
