Usage

• Add jquery, angular, slick-carousel and angular-slick-carousel to your code.

    <link rel="stylesheet" href="../bower_components/slick-carousel/slick/slick.css">
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="../bower_components/slick-carousel/slick/slick-theme.css">
    
    <script src="../bower_components/jquery/jquery.js"></script>
    <script src="../bower_components/angular/angular.js"></script>
    <script src="../bower_components/slick-carousel/slick/slick.js"></script>
    <script src="../bower_components/angular-slick-carousel/dist/angular-slick.min.js"></script>

• Add the sortable module as a dependency to your application module: slickCarousel

var myAppModule = angular.module('MyApp', ['slickCarousel'])

This directive allows you to use the slick-carousel plugin as an angular directive. It can be specified in your HTML as either a <div> attribute or a <slick> element.

    <slick infinite=true slides-to-show=3 slides-to-scroll=3>
    ...
    </slick>
    
    <slick 
        settings="slickConfig" ng-if="numberLoaded">
    </slick>

Attributes & Event

settings: optional Object containing any of the slick options. Consult here.

• enabled should slick be enabled or not. Default to true. Example below
• method optional containing slick method. discussed below in detail
• event optional containing slick event

$scope.slickConfig = {
    enabled: true,
    autoplay: true,
    draggable: false,  
    autoplaySpeed: 3000,
    method: {},
    event: {
        beforeChange: function (event, slick, currentSlide, nextSlide) {
        },
        afterChange: function (event, slick, currentSlide, nextSlide) {
        }
    }
};

Enable/disable slick

Slick can be easily switched on and off by using enabled settings flag.

    $scope.slickConfig = {
        enabled: true,
    }
    $scope.toggleSlick = function() {
      $scope.slickConfig.enabled = !$scope.slickConfig.enabled;
    }

    <slick settings="slickConfig">
     ...
    </slick>
    <button ng-click="toggleSlick()">Toggle</button>

Method

1. All the functions in the plugin are exposed through a control attribute.
2. To utilize this architecture, and have two-way data-binding, define an empty control handle on scope:

    $scope.slickConfig = {
        method: {}
    }

3. Pass it as the value to control attribute. Now, you can call any plugin methods as shown in the example.

<button ng-click="slickConfig.method.slickGoTo(2)">slickGoTo(2)</button>
<button ng-click="slickConfig.method.slickPrev()">slickPrev()</button>
<button ng-click="slickConfig.method.slickNext()">slickNext()</button>
<button ng-click='slickConfig.method.slickAdd("<div>New</div>")'>slickAdd()</button>
<button ng-click='slickConfig.method.slickRemove(3)'>slickRemove(3)</button>
<button ng-click='slickConfig.method.slickPlay()'>slickPlay()</button>
<button ng-click='slickConfig.method.slickPause()'>slickPause()</button>

Slide data

For change slide content, you have to set ng-if to destroy and init it

• controller:

    $scope.number = [{label: 1}, {label: 2}, {label: 3}, {label: 4}, {label: 5}, {label: 6}, {label: 7}, {label: 8}];
    $scope.numberLoaded = true;
    $scope.numberUpdate = function(){
        $scope.numberLoaded = false; // disable slick
        
        //number update
        
        $scope.numberLoaded = true; // enable slick
    };

• html:

    <script type="text/ng-template" id="tpl.html">
        <h3>{{ i.label }}</h3>
    </script>
    
    <slick ng-if="numberLoaded">
        <div ng-repeat="i in number">
            <div class="" ng-include="'tpl.html'"></div>
        </div>
    </slick>

Global config

  config(['slickCarouselConfig', function (slickCarouselConfig) {
      slickCarouselConfig.dots = true;
      slickCarouselConfig.autoplay = false;
  }])

FAQ

Q: After change data, could i keep the current slide index? A: For this directive, this will destroy and init slick when updating data. You could get current index by event. example:

    $scope.currentIndex = 0;
    $scope.slickConfig = {
        event: {
            afterChange: function (event, slick, currentSlide, nextSlide) {
              $scope.currentIndex = currentSlide; // save current index each time
            }
            init: function (event, slick) {
              slick.slickGoTo($scope.currentIndex); // slide to correct index when init
            }
        }
    };

Examples

You need be running a server to see the samples:

Go to your terminal and run:

python -m SimpleHTTPServer

after this command you will be loading a python Server in you local machine in most the cases loads in the port 8000, you will be able to see the port when the server starts like that:

Serving HTTP on 0.0.0.0 port 8000 ...

so you can see the samples with this adress: http://localhost:8000/examples/#/
