I have integrated bootstrap Carousel into a WordPress widget. Carousel requires a unique ID per each for the controls to work. So if I am using 2 widgets that means 2 carousels on the same page the carousel controls won't work and some issues might happen.
I googled how to get widget id considering that each widget should have a unique id in the database which I can retrieve and assign it to the carousel ID which creates a unique id and let the controllers work. I couldn't find any suitable solution, anyone can help please?
