<Carousel
  data={[
    {
      id: "1",
      title: "Carousel",
      description: "A handy component for React Native"
    }
    // ...
  ]}
  renderItem={info => (
    <View>
      <Text style={styles.title}>{info.item.title}</Text>
      <Text style={styles.description}>{info.item.description}</Text>
    </View>
  )}
  keyExtractor={item => item.id}
/>
