How to set 100% width for a Carousel?

Question

I have a carousel on my page. I want its width to be 100%. Even after defining its width to 100% inside of a class, there is no effect on the Carousel. How can I make its width 100% and responsive as well?

Following is the class I have used to max it's width to 100%:-

.cwidth{

min-width: 100%;

}

and following is my Carousel code:-

<div class="container">
  <h2>Carousel Example</h2>
  <div id="myCarousel" class="carousel slide cwidth" data-ride="carousel">
    <!-- Indicators -->
    <ol class="carousel-indicators">
      <li data-target="#myCarousel" data-slide-to="0" class="active"></li>
      <li data-target="#myCarousel" data-slide-to="1"></li>
      <li data-target="#myCarousel" data-slide-to="2"></li>
      <li data-target="#myCarousel" data-slide-to="3"></li>
      <li data-target="#myCarousel" data-slide-to="4"></li>
    </ol>

    <!-- Wrapper for slides -->
    <div class="carousel-inner">

      <div class="item active">
        <img src="Images/LIB01.png" alt="LIB Image" style="width:100%;">
        <div class="carousel-caption">
          <h3>Some Text</h3>
          <p>Some Text</p>
        </div>
      </div>

      <div class="item">
        <img src="Images/LIB02.png" alt="LIB Image" style="width:100%;">
        <div class="carousel-caption">
          <h3>Some Text</h3>
          <p>Some Text</p>
        </div>
      </div>

      <div class="item">
        <img src="Images/LIB03.png" alt="LIB Image" style="width:100%;">
        <div class="carousel-caption">
          <h3>Some Text</h3>
          <p>Some Text</p>
        </div>
      </div>

      <div class="item">
        <img src="Images/LIB04.png" alt="LIB Image" style="width:100%;">
        <div class="carousel-caption">
          <h3>Some Text</h3>
          <p>Some Text</p>
        </div>
      </div>

      <div class="item">
        <img src="Images/LIB05.png" alt="LIB Image" style="width:100%;">
        <div class="carousel-caption">
          <h3>Some Text</h3>
          <p>Some Text</p>
        </div>
      </div>

    </div>

    <!-- Left and right controls -->
    <a class="left carousel-control" href="#myCarousel" data-slide="prev">
      <span class="glyphicon glyphicon-chevron-left"></span>
      <span class="sr-only">Previous</span>
    </a>
    <a class="right carousel-control" href="#myCarousel" data-slide="next">
      <span class="glyphicon glyphicon-chevron-right"></span>

Check libraries you've added, Try this working snippet,

jQuery('.carousel').carousel();

html,
body {
  height: 100%;
}

.carousel,
.item,
.active {
  height: 100%;
}

.carousel-inner {
  height: 100%;
}

.fill {
  width: 100%;
  height: 100%;
  background-position: center;
  background-size: cover;
}

.container {
  width: 100% !important;
}


/* keep full widget on smaller screens */

@media (max-width: 767px) {
  body {
    padding-left: 0;
    padding-right: 0;
  }
}

Hi, Thank you for your code. But, it's still leaving margins from both the sides. — Shashankk Shekar Chaturvedi, Mar 23 '19 at 08:17
Please check my question. I have added the screenshot of the carousel. I want it to fit above the blue line with full width — Shashankk Shekar Chaturvedi, Mar 23 '19 at 08:28

Use "jumbotron" instead of "container" class. Place the jumbotron inside the
