This directive allows you to use the slick-carousel plugin as an angular directive. It can be specified in your HTML as either a <div> attribute or a <slick> element.

<slick infinite=true slides-to-show=3 slides-to-scroll=3>
...
</slick>

<slick 
    settings="slickConfig" ng-if="numberLoaded">
</slick>

Attributes & Event

settings: optional Object containing any of the slick options. Consult here. - enabled should slick be enabled or not. Default to true. Example below - method optional containing slick method. discussed below in detail - event optional containing slick event

$scope.slickConfig = {
    enabled: true,
    autoplay: true,
    draggable: false,  
    autoplaySpeed: 3000,
    method: {},
    event: {
        beforeChange: function (event, slick, currentSlide, nextSlide) {
        },
        afterChange: function (event, slick, currentSlide, nextSlide) {
        }
    }
};

Enable/disable slick

Slick can be easily switched on and off by using enabled settings flag.

$scope.slickConfig = {
    enabled: true,
}
$scope.toggleSlick = function() {
  $scope.slickConfig.enabled = !$scope.slickConfig.enabled;
}

<slick settings="slickConfig">
 ...
</slick>
<button ng-click="toggleSlick()">Toggle</button>

Method

1. All the functions in the plugin are exposed through a control

attribute.

1. To utilize this architecture, and have two-way data-binding,

define an empty control handle on scope:

$scope.slickConfig = {
    method: {}
}

1. Pass it as the value to control attribute. Now, you can call any plugin methods

as shown in the example.

<button ng-click="slickConfig.method.slickGoTo(2)">slickGoTo(2)</button>
<button ng-click="slickConfig.method.slickPrev()">slickPrev()</button>
<button ng-click="slickConfig.method.slickNext()">slickNext()</button>
<button ng-click='slickConfig.method.slickAdd("<div>New</div>")'>slickAdd()</button>
<button ng-click='slickConfig.method.slickRemove(3)'>slickRemove(3)</button>
<button ng-click='slickConfig.method.slickPlay()'>slickPlay()</button>
<button ng-click='slickConfig.method.slickPause()'>slickPause()</button>

Slide data

For change slide content, you have to set ng-if to destroy and init it

• controller:

$scope.number = [{label: 1}, {label: 2}, {label: 3}, {label: 4}, {label: 5}, {label: 6}, {label: 7}, {label: 8}];
$scope.numberLoaded = true;
$scope.numberUpdate = function(){
    $scope.numberLoaded = false; // disable slick
    
    //number update
    
    $scope.numberLoaded = true; // enable slick
};

• html:

<script type="text/ng-template" id="tpl.html">
    <h3>{{ i.label }}</h3>
</script>

<slick ng-if="numberLoaded">
    <div ng-repeat="i in number">
        <div class="" ng-include="'tpl.html'"></div>
    </div>
</slick>

Global config

```js

config(['slickCarouselConfig', function (slickCarouselConfig) {
    slickCarouselConfig.dots = true;
    slickCarouselConfig.autoplay = false;
}])

```

FAQ

Q: After change data, could i keep the current slide index? A: For this directive, this will destroy and init slick when updating data. You could get current index by event. example:

$scope.currentIndex = 0;
$scope.slickConfig = {
    event: {
        afterChange: function (event, slick, currentSlide, nextSlide) {
          $scope.currentIndex = currentSlide; // save current index each time
        }
        init: function (event, slick) {
          slick.slickGoTo($scope.currentIndex); // slide to correct index when init
        }
    }
};

Examples

You need be running a server to see the samples:
Go to your terminal and run:

python -m SimpleHTTPServer

after this command you will be loading a python Server in you local machine in most the cases loads in the port 8000, you will be able to see the port when the server starts like that: ```sh Serving HTTP on 0.0.0.0 port 8000 ... ```
so you can see the samples with this adress: http://localhost:8000/examples/#/
