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;
}

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"]
}
