A function to initiate a dynamically generated Bootstrap 3.0.2 carousel. The function adds an .active class to the first item, and adds carousel-indicators li elements for all carousel items. Handy if all carousel item code needs to be the same, or you don't know how many items your carousel will have.

setup_carousel.js

function setupCarousel() {
	$('.carousel').each(function() {
		// Add active class to first item
		$(this).find('.carousel-inner .item').first().addClass('active');
		// Add indicators to carousel
		for (var i = 0; i < $(this).find('.carousel-inner .item').length; i++) {
			$(this).find('.carousel-indicators').append('<li data-target="#your-carousel-id" data-slide-to="'+i+'" class="text-shadow"></li>');
		}
		// Add active class to first indicator
		$(this).find('.carousel-indicators li').first().addClass('active');
	});
}
