the last carousel you'll ever need

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/1.5.9/slick.css"/>
// Add the slick-theme.css if you want default styling
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="//cdn.jsdelivr.net/jquery.slick/1.5.9/slick-theme.css"/>
Then, before your closing <body> tag add:
<script type="text/javascript" src="//cdn.jsdelivr.net/jquery.slick/1.5.9/slick.min.js"></script>
//Bower
bower install --save slick-carousel
//NPM
npm install slick-carousel
PLEASE 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>

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 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 |
|---|---|---|

| unslick | Destroys Slick | |
