the last carousel you'll ever need
http://kenwheeler.github.io/slick
To start working with Slick right away, there's a couple of CDN choices availabile to serve the files as close, and fast as possible to your users:
Just add a link to the css file in your <head>:
<!-- Add the slick-theme.css if you want default styling -->
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="//cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/kenwheeler/slick@1.8.1/slick/slick.css"/>
<!-- Add the slick-theme.css if you want default styling -->
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="//cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/kenwheeler/slick@1.8.1/slick/slick-theme.css"/>Then, before your closing <body> tag add:
<script type="text/javascript" src="//cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/kenwheeler/slick@1.8.1/slick/slick.min.js"></script># Bower
bower install --save slick-carousel
# NPM
npm install slick-carouselPLEASE review CONTRIBUTING.markdown prior to requesting a feature, filing a pull request or filing an issue.
In slick 1.5 you can now add settings using the data-slick attribute. You still need to call $(element).slick() to initialize slick on the element.
Example:
<div data-slick='{"slidesToShow": 4, "slidesToScroll": 4}'>
<div><h3>1</h3></div>
<div><h3>2</h3></div>
<div><h3>3</h3></div>
<div><h3>4</h3></div>
<div><h3>5</h3></div>
<div><h3>6</h3></div>
</div>| Option | Type | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| accessibility | boolean | true | Enables tabbing and arrow key navigation. Unless autoplay: true, sets browser focus to current slide (or first of current slide set, if multiple slidesToShow) after slide change. For full a11y compliance enable focusOnChange in addition to this. |

| appendArrows | string | $(element) | Change where the navigation arrows are attached (Selector, htmlString, Array, Element, jQuery object) |

| initialSlide | integer | 0 | Slide to start on |
| lazyLoad | string | 'ondemand' | Accepts 'ondemand' or 'progressive' for lazy load technique. 'ondemand' will load the image as soon as you slide to it, 'progressive' loads one image after the other when the page loads. |
| mobileFirst | boolean | false | Responsive settings use mobile first calculation |
| nextArrow | string (html | jQuery selector) | object (DOM node | jQuery object) | <button type="button" class="slick-next">Next</button> |

| respondTo | string | 'window' | Width that responsive object responds to. Can be 'window', 'slider' or 'min' (the smaller of the two). |
| responsive | array | null | Array of objects containing breakpoints and settings objects (see example). Enables settings at given breakpoint. Set settings to "unslick" instead of an object to disable slick at a given breakpoint. |
| rows | int | 1 | Setting this to more than 1 initializes grid mode. Use slidesPerRow to set how many slides should be in each row. |
| rtl | boolean | false | Change the slider's direction to become right-to-left |

| slidesPerRow | int | 1 | With grid mode initialized via the rows option, this sets how many slides are in each grid row. |

The responsive option, and value, is quite unique and powerful. You can use it like so:
$(".slider").slick({
// normal options...
infinite: false,
// the magic
responsive: [{
breakpoint: 1024,
settings: {
slidesToShow: 3,
infinite: true
}
}, {
breakpoint: 600,
settings: {
slidesToShow: 2,
dots: true
}
}, {
breakpoint: 300,
settings: "unslick" // destroys slick
}]
});In slick 1.4, callback methods were deprecated and replaced with events. Use them before the initialization of slick as shown below:
// On swipe event
$('.your-element').on('swipe', function(event, slick, direction){
console.log(direction);
// left
});
// On edge hit
$('.your-element').on('edge', function(event, slick, direction){
console.log('edge was hit')
});
// On before slide change
$('.your-element').on('beforeChange', function(event, slick, currentSlide, nextSlide){
console.log(nextSlide);
});| Event | Params | Description |
|---|---|---|
| afterChange | event, slick, currentSlide | After slide change callback |
| beforeChange | event, slick, currentSlide, nextSlide | Before slide change callback |
| breakpoint | event, slick, breakpoint | Fires after a breakpoint is hit |
| destroy | event, slick | When slider is destroyed, or unslicked. |
| edge | event, slick, direction | Fires when an edge is overscrolled in non-infinite mode. |
| init | event, slick | When Slick initializes for the first time callback. Note that this event should be defined before initializing the slider. |
| reInit | event, slick | Every time Slick (re-)initializes callback |
| setPosition | event, slick | Every time Slick recalculates position |
| swipe | event, slick, direction | Fires after swipe/drag |
| lazyLoaded | event, slick, image, imageSource | Fires after image loads lazily |
| lazyLoadError | event, slick, image, imageSource | Fires after image fails to load |
Methods are called on slick instances through the slick method itself in version 1.4, see below:
// Add a slide
$('.your-element').slick('slickAdd',"<div></div>");
// Get the current slide
var currentSlide = $('.your-element').slick('slickCurrentSlide');This new syntax allows you to call any internal slick method as well:
// Manually refresh positioning of slick
$('.your-element').slick('setPosition');| Method | Argument | Description |
