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. 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

Methods

Methods are called on slick instances through the slick method itself in version 1.4, see below:

var slick = require('slick-carousel-browserify');

// Add a slide
slick($('.your-element'), 'slickAdd',"<div></div>");

// Get the current slide
var currentSlide = slick($('.your-element'), 'slickCurrentSlide');

This new syntax allows you to call any internal slick method as well:

// Manually refresh positioning of slick
slick($('.your-element'), 'setPosition');

Method | Argument | Description ------ | -------- | ----------- slick | options : object | Initializes Slick unslick | | Destroys Slick slickNext | | Triggers next slide slickPrev | | Triggers previous slide slickPause | | Pause Autoplay slickPlay | | Start Autoplay (will also set autoplay option to true) slickGoTo | index : int, dontAnimate : bool | Goes to slide by index, skipping animation if second parameter is set to true slickCurrentSlide | | Returns the current slide index slickAdd | element : html or DOM object, index: int, addBefore: bool | Add a slide. If an index is provided, will add at that index, or before if addBefore is set. If no index is provided, add to the end or to the beginning if addBefore is set. Accepts HTML String || Object slickRemove | index: int, removeBefore: bool | Remove slide by index. If removeBefore is set true, remove slide preceding index, or the first slide if no index is specified. If removeBefore is set to false, remove the slide following index, or the last slide if no index is set. slickFilter | filter : selector or function | Filters slides using jQuery .filter syntax slickUnfilter | | Removes applied filter slickGetOption | option : string(option name) | Gets an option value. slickSetOption | option : string(option name), value : depends on option, refresh : boolean | Sets an option live. Set refresh to true if it is an option that changes the display

Example

Initialize with:

var slick = require('slick-carousel-browserify');
slick($(element), {
  dots: true,
  speed: 500
});

Destroy with:

var slick = require('slick-carousel-browserify');
slick($(element), 'unslick');
