Organizing Code

To keep our code organized and tidy, we'll put each of the subcomponents --- Dots, Arrow, Pager -- into individual classes, each of which will live within their own file.

In your project, create files for Arrow, Pager, and Dots, such that the src/carousel directory looks like this:

- Carousel.js
- Arrow.js
- Pager.js
- Dots.Js

Then, take a close look at the following diagram, which illustrates how each of the subcomponents are associated with the child nodes we created within the Carousel constructor.

AddingClasses

As we add our class files, make sure you also uncomment/import them at the top of Carousel.js. It's a good idea to always double-check the top of your modified files to ensure that all dependencies are loaded with require() before calling them.
