React carousel component

react-slick

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

Documentation

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" charset="UTF-8" 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" />

Methods

Name	Arguments	Description
slickPrev	None	go to previous slide
slickNext	None	go to next slide
slickGoTo	index:number	go to the given slide index
slickPause	None	pause the autoplay
slickPlay	None	start the autoplay

Followings are not going to be implemented

Name	type	Reason
unslick	method	same functionality can be achieved with unslick prop
slickSetOption	method	same functionality can be achieved via props and managing state for them in wrapper
slickFilter	method	same functionality can be achieved as with dynamic slides, look at dynamic slides example
slickUnfilter	method	same functionality can be achieved as with dynamic slides, look at dynamic slides example
slickAdd	method	same functionality can be achieved as with dynamic slides, look at dynamic slides example
slickRemove	method	same functionality can be achieved as with dynamic slides, look at dynamic slides example
slickCurrentSlide	method	same functionality can be achieved with beforeChange hook
slickGetOption	method	manage wrapper state for desired options
getSlick	method	a simple ref will do

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' } ]

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"]
}

Development

Want to run demos locally

git clone https://github.com/akiran/react-slick
cd react-slick
npm install
npm start
open http://localhost:8080

Polyfills for old IE support

matchMedia support from media-match
