CDN

CDN hosted slick is a great way to get set up quick:

In your <head> add:

<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="//cdn.jsdelivr.net/jquery.slick/1.5.8/slick.css"/>

// Add the slick-theme.css if you want default styling
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="//cdn.jsdelivr.net/jquery.slick/1.5.8/slick-theme.css"/>

Then, before your closing <body> tag add:

<script type="text/javascript" src="//cdn.jsdelivr.net/jquery.slick/1.5.8/slick.min.js"></script>

Package Managers

//Bower
bower install --save slick-carousel

//NPM
npm install slick-carousel

Data Attribute Settings

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>

Events

In slick 1.4, callback methods have been 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.

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

Methods

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

slickNext		Triggers next slide
