Version 2.0 is compatible with jQuery 4.
http://kenwheeler.github.io/slick
To start working with Slick right away, there's a couple of CDN choices available to serve the files as close, and fast as possible to your users:
Example using from jsDelivrJust add a link to the css file in your <head>. If you are using jQuery 4.0 or higher, use the following:
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/kenwheeler/slick@master/slick/slick.css"/>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/kenwheeler/slick@master/slick/slick-theme.css"/>
Then, before your closing <body> tag add:
<script type="text/javascript" src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/kenwheeler/slick@master/slick/slick.min.js"></script>
If you are using jQuery 3.0 or lower, use the following:
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/kenwheeler/[email protected]/slick/slick.css"/>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/kenwheeler/[email protected]/slick/slick-theme.css"/>
Then, before your closing <body> tag add:
<script type="text/javascript" src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/kenwheeler/[email protected]/slick/slick.min.js"></script>
# Bower

[!NOTE] Version 2.0.0 of Slick is currently not available via Bower or NPM. Please use the CDN links above to get the latest version.

Responsive Option Example
The responsive option, and value, is quite unique and powerful. You can use it like so:
$(".slider").slick({
// normal options...
infinite: false,
// the magic
responsive: [{
breakpoint: 1024,
settings: {
slidesToShow: 3,
infinite: true
}
}, {
breakpoint: 600,
settings: {
slidesToShow: 2,
dots: true
}
}, {
breakpoint: 300,
settings: "unslick" // destroys slick
}]
});
In slick 1.4, callback methods were 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
lazyLoaded
event, slick, image, imageSource
Fires after image loads lazily
lazyLoadError

Fires after image fails to load
Methods are called on slick instances through the slick method itself in version 1.4, see below:
// Add a slide
$('.your-element').slick('slickAdd',"
");
// 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');
