react-slick

Carousel component built with React. It is a react port of slick carousel

Installation

npm

npm install react-slick

yarn

yarn add react-slick

⚠️ Also install slick-carousel for css and font

npm install slick-carousel
@import "~slick-carousel/slick/slick.css";
@import "~slick-carousel/slick/slick-theme.css";

But be aware slick-carousel has a peer-dependancy on jQuery which you, or your colleagues may not like to see in your console output, so you can always grab the CSS from there and convert it into any CSS in JS solution that you might be using.

or add cdn link in your html

<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/slick-carousel/1.6.0/slick.min.css" />
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/slick-carousel/1.6.0/slick-theme.min.css" />

class SimpleSlider extends React.Component {
  render: function () {
    var settings = {
      dots: true,
      infinite: true,
      speed: 500,
      slidesToShow: 1,
      slidesToScroll: 1
    };

responsive property

Array of objects in the form of { breakpoint: int, settings: { ... } } The breakpoint int is the maxWidth so the settings will be applied when resolution is below this value. Breakpoints in the array should be ordered from smallest to greatest. Use 'unslick' in place of the settings object to disable rendering the carousel at that breakpoint. Example: [ { breakpoint: 768, settings: { slidesToShow: 3 } }, { breakpoint: 1024, settings: { slidesToShow: 5 } }, { breakpoint: 100000, settings: 'unslick' } ]

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)
• slickPause() - function called to pause a slider that is autoplaying
• slickPlay() - function called to resume a paused slider (requires autoplay: true)

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;
}

Test Setup

If you try to run tests with jest in a project that uses react-slick, you may run into this error

matchMedia not present, legacy browsers require a polyfill

To fix this issue add below snippet in test-setup.js

window.matchMedia = window.matchMedia || function() {
    return {
        matches : false,
        addListener : function() {},
        removeListener: function() {}
    };
};

and add below jest config in package.json

"jest": {
    "setupFiles": ["test-setup.js"]
}
