#### CDN

CDN hosted slick is a great way to get set up quick:

In your ```<head>``` add:

````
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="//cdn.jsdelivr.net/jquery.slick/1.5.9/slick.css"/>

// Add the slick-theme.css if you want default styling
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="//cdn.jsdelivr.net/jquery.slick/1.5.9/slick-theme.css"/>
````

Then, before your closing ```<body>``` tag add:

```
<script type="text/javascript" src="//cdn.jsdelivr.net/jquery.slick/1.5.9/slick.min.js"></script>
```

#### Package Managers

````
//Bower
bower install --save slick-carousel

//NPM
npm install slick-carousel
````

### Data Attribute Settings

In slick 1.5 you can now add settings using the data-slick attribute. You still need to call $(element).slick() to initialize slick on the element.

Example:

```markup
<div data-slick='{"slidesToShow": 4, "slidesToScroll": 4}'>
  <div><h3>1</h3></div>
  <div><h3>2</h3></div>
  <div><h3>3</h3></div>
  <div><h3>4</h3></div>
  <div><h3>5</h3></div>
  <div><h3>6</h3></div>
</div>
```

### Events

In slick 1.4, callback methods have been deprecated and replaced with events. Use them before the initialization of slick as shown below:

```javascript
// 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


#### Methods

Methods are called on slick instances through the slick method itself in version 1.4, see below:

```javascript
// Add a slide
$('.your-element').slick('slickAdd',"<div></div>");

// Get the current slide
var currentSlide = $('.your-element').slick('slickCurrentSlide');
```

This new syntax allows you to call any internal slick method as well:

```javascript
// Manually refresh positioning of slick
$('.your-element').slick('setPosition');
```

unslick |  | Destroys Slick
slickNext |  |  Triggers next slide
slickPrev | | Triggers previous slide
slickPause | | Pause Autoplay
slickPlay | | Start Autoplay
slickGoTo | index : int, dontAnimate : bool | Goes to slide by index, skipping animation if second parameter is set to true

slickRemove | index: int, removeBefore: bool | Remove slide by index. If removeBefore is set true, remove slide preceding index, or the first slide if no index is specified. If removeBefore is set to false, remove the slide following index, or the last slide if no index is set.
