Methods

  • slickNext() - function called to change current slide on next slide (Example)
  • slickPrev() - function called to change current slide on previous slide (Example)
  • slickGoTo(slideNumber) - function called to change current slide to given slide number (Example)

Custom next/prev arrows

To customize the next/prev arrow elements, simply create new React components and set them as the values of nextArrow and prevArrow.

class LeftNavButton extends React.Component {
  render() {
    return <button {...this.props}>Next</button>  
  }
}

Important: be sure that you pass your component's props to your clickable element like the example above. If you don't, your custom component won't trigger the click handler.

You can also set onClick={this.props.onClick} if you only want to set the click handler.

Flexbox support

If you have flex property on container div of slider, add below css

* {
  min-height: 0;
  min-width: 0;
}
