I want to change the arrows in my slick slider but it does not change. I want the next and previous button as an image. I have tried putting it in a <style> but it still not working. Where can I change the arrows setting?

This question is related to
javascript
jquery
html
css
slider
Here's an alternative solution using javascipt:
document.querySelector('.slick-prev').innerHTML = '<img src="path/to/chevron-left-image.svg">'>;
document.querySelector('.slick-next').innerHTML = '<img src="path/to/chevron-right-image.svg">'>;
Change the img to text or what ever you require.
If you are using sass you can simply set below mentioned variables,
$slick-font-family:FontAwesome;
$slick-prev-character: "\f053";
$slick-next-character: "\f054";
These will change the font family used by slick's theme css and also the unicode for prev and next button.
Other sass variables which can be configured are given in Slick Github page
if your using react-slick you can try this on custom next and prev divs
https://react-slick.neostack.com/docs/example/previous-next-methods
<div class="prev">Prev</div>
<div class="next">Next</div>
$('.your_class').slick({
infinite: true,
speed: 300,
slidesToShow: 5,
slidesToScroll: 5,
arrows: true,
prevArrow: $('.prev'),
nextArrow: $('.next')
});
This worked for me:
http://codepen.io/anon/pen/qNbWwK
Hide the default buttons in CSS and use:
<!-- In HTML: -->
<p class="left">left</p>
<p class="right">right</p>
/* In the JS file */
$('.slider').slick({
arrows: false
})
$('.left').click(function(){
$('.slider').slick('slickPrev');
})
$('.right').click(function(){
$('.slider').slick('slickNext');
})
Content property of pseudo element :before accepts images too. In slick-theme.css change:
// change_x000D_
$slick-prev-character: "?" !default; _x000D_
_x000D_
// to_x000D_
$slick-prev-character: url('image-prev.png');_x000D_
_x000D_
// and _x000D_
$slick-next-character: "?" !default;_x000D_
_x000D_
// to _x000D_
$slick-next-character: url('image-next.jpg');or directly change the content property on slick-prev:before and slick-next:before
.slick-prev {_x000D_
left: -25px;_x000D_
[dir="rtl"] & {_x000D_
left: auto;_x000D_
right: -25px;_x000D_
}_x000D_
&:before {_x000D_
content: url('image-prev.jpg'); // <<<<<<<<_x000D_
[dir="rtl"] & {_x000D_
content: url('image-next.jpg'); // <<<<<<<<_x000D_
}_x000D_
}_x000D_
}_x000D_
_x000D_
.slick-next {_x000D_
right: -25px;_x000D_
[dir="rtl"] & {_x000D_
left: -25px;_x000D_
right: auto;_x000D_
}_x000D_
&:before {_x000D_
content: url('image-next.jpg'); // <<<<<<<<_x000D_
[dir="rtl"] & {_x000D_
content: url('image-prev.jpg'); // <<<<<<<<_x000D_
}_x000D_
}_x000D_
}Here is my example of how to change the arrows for Slick Carousel in React to anything you would like. First you need to set the nextArrow and prevArrow in settings to a function then return a div in that function with whatever icon you would like to use. For mine I used Font Awesome. Then you will need to add a className in your icon, you will see that in the NextArrow and PrevArrow functions. Then add the scss code to customize whatever you would like.
JSX Code:
function NextArrow(props) {
const { style, onClick } = props;
return (
<div style={{ ...style, display: "block" }} onClick={onClick}>
<FontAwesomeIcon icon={faChevronRight} size="3x" className="slick-arrow-icon-right" />
</div>
);
}
function PrevArrow(props) {
const { style, onClick } = props;
return (
<div style={{ ...style, display: "block" }} onClick={onClick}>
<FontAwesomeIcon icon={faChevronLeft} size="3x" className="slick-arrow-icon-left" />
</div>
);
}
function SlickCarouselArrowChange(props) {
var settings = {
className: "slider variable-width",
dots: true,
infinite: true,
centerMode: true,
slidesToShow: 1,
slidesToScroll: 1,
variableWidth: true,
autoplay: true,
autoplaySpeed: 2000,
nextArrow: <NextArrow />,
prevArrow: <PrevArrow />,
};
return (
<div className="slick-slider">
<Slider {...settings}>
{props.searchResults.map((image, index) => (
<div key={index}>
<img src={image.urls.small} />{" "}
</div>
))}
</Slider>
</div>
);
}
SCSS Code:
.slick-arrow-icon-left,
.slick-arrow-icon-right {
position: absolute;
display: block;
cursor: pointer;
background: transparent;
color: black;
top: 50%;
-webkit-transform: translate(0, -50%);
-ms-transform: translate(0, -50%);
transform: translate(0, -50%);
padding: 0;
border: none;
outline: none;
transition: 0.5s ease-in-out;
&:hover,
&:focus {
outline: none;
background: transparent;
color: black;
font-size: 40px;
&::before {
opacity: 1;
}
}
}
.slick-arrow-icon-left {
left: -50px;
[dir="rtl"] & {
left: auto;
right: -50px;
}
}
.slick-arrow-icon-right {
right: -50px;
[dir="rtl"] & {
left: -50px;
right: auto;
}
}

Source Code:
For changing the color
.slick-prev:before {
color: some-color!important;
}
.slick-next:before {
color: some-color!important;
}
here is another example for changing the arrows and using your own arrow-images.
.slick-prev:before {
background-image: url('images/arrow-left.png');
background-size: 50px 50px;
display: inline-block;
width: 50px;
height: 50px;
content:"";
}
.slick-next:before {
background-image: url('images/arrow-right.png');
background-size: 50px 50px;
display: inline-block;
width: 50px;
height: 50px;
content:"";
}
The Best way i Found to do that is this. You can remove my HTML and place yours there.
$('.home-banner-slider').slick({
dots: false,
infinite: true,
autoplay: true,
autoplaySpeed: 3000,
speed: 300,
slidesToScroll: 1,
arrows: true,
prevArrow: '<div class="slick-prev"><i class="fa fa-angle-left" aria-hidden="true"></i></div>',
nextArrow: '<div class="slick-next"><i class="fa fa-angle-right" aria-hidden="true"></i></div>'
});
its very easy. Use the bellow code, Its works for me. Here I have used fontawesome icon but you can use anything as image or any other Icon's code.
$(document).ready(function(){
$('.slider').slick({
autoplay:true,
arrows: true,
prevArrow:"<button type='button' class='slick-prev pull-left'><i class='fa fa-angle-left' aria-hidden='true'></i></button>",
nextArrow:"<button type='button' class='slick-next pull-right'><i class='fa fa-angle-right' aria-hidden='true'></i></button>"
});
});
You can use FontAwesome "content" values and apply as follow by css. These apply "chevron right/left" icons.
.custom-slick .slick-prev:before {
content: "?";
font-family: 'FontAwesome';
font-size: 22px;
}
.custom-slick .slick-next:before {
content: "?";
font-family: 'FontAwesome';
font-size: 22px;
}
You can easily create your own style of arrow with the .slick-next:before and the .slick-prev:after pseudo-classes.
Here's an example:
.slick-prev:before {
content: "<";
color: red;
font-size: 30px;
}
.slick-next:before {
content: ">";
color: red;
font-size: 30px;
}
Slick has a very easy way to customize its buttons through two variables in its own configuration: prevArrow and nextArrow.
Both types are: string (html | jQuery selector) | object (DOM node | jQuery object), so in your settings slick slider you can set the classes:
prevArrow: $('.prev')
nextArrow: $('.next')
and add to these elements the styles you want.
For example:
//HTML
<div class="slider-box _clearfix">
<div class="slick-slider">
<div>
<img src="img/home_carousel/home_carorusel_1.jpg">
</div>
<div>
<img src="img/home_carousel/home_carorusel_2.jpg">
</div>
<div>
<img src="img/home_carousel/home_carorusel_3.jpg">
</div>
<div>
<img src="img/home_carousel/home_carorusel_4.jpg">
</div>
</div>
</div>
<div class="paginator-center text-color text-center">
<h6>VER MAS LANZAMIENTOS</h6>
<ul>
<li class="prev"></li>
<li class="next"></li>
</ul>
</div>
//JS
$(document).ready(function () {
$('.slick-slider').slick({
centerMode: true,
centerPadding: '60px',
slidesToShow: 3,
prevArrow: $('.prev'),
nextArrow: $('.next'),
});
//CSS
.paginator{
position: relative;
float: right;
margin-bottom: 20px;
li{
margin-top: 20px;
position: relative;
float: left;
margin-right: 20px;
&.prev{
display: block;
height: 20px;
width: 20px;
background: url('../img/back.png') no-repeat;
}
&.next{
display: block;
height: 20px;
width: 20px;
background: url('../img/next.png') no-repeat;
}
}
}
If we want to use font awesome library using the css then we can use the below css
.slick-prev:before {
content: "\f104";
color: red;
font-size: 30px;
font-family: 'FontAwesome';
}
.slick-next:before {
content: "\f105";
color: red;
font-size: 30px;
font-family: 'FontAwesome';
}
Font awesome library css must be added in the page.
Easy solution:
$('.slick-slider').slick({
arrows: true,
prevArrow:"<img class='a-left control-c prev slick-prev' src='YOUR LEFT ARROW IMAGE URL'>",
nextArrow:"<img class='a-right control-c next slick-next' src='YOUR RIGHT ARROW IMAGE URL'>"
});
Image URLs can be local or cdn-type stuff (web icons, etc.).
Example CSS (adjust as needed here, this is just an example of what's possible):
.control-c {
width: 30px;
height: 30px;
}
This worked well for me!
