Slick js Get current and total slides ie 3 5

Question

Using Slick js - how does one get current and total slides  ie  3 5  as a simpler alternative to the dots   I ve been told I can use the customPaging callback using the callback argument objects  but what does that mean exactly       slideshow   slick       slide   img       autoplay  true      dots  true      customPaging  function  slider  i            return slider slickCurrentSlide          i   1               http   jsfiddle net frank o cpdqhdwy 1

Based on the first proposition posted by @Mx. (posted sept.15th 2014) I created a variant to get a decent HTML markup for ARIA support.

$('.slideshow').slick({
    slide: 'img',
    autoplay: true,
    dots: true,
    dotsClass: 'custom_paging',
    customPaging: function (slider, i) {
        //FYI just have a look at the object to find available information
        //press f12 to access the console in most browsers
        //you could also debug or look in the source
        console.log(slider);
        var slideNumber   = (i + 1),
            totalSlides = slider.slideCount;
        return '<a class="custom-dot" role="button" title="' + slideNumber + ' of ' + totalSlides + '"><span class="string">' + slideNumber + '</span></a>';
    }
});

Using the previous method with more than 1 slide at time was giving me the wrong total so I ve used the  dotsClass   like this  on v1 7 1       JS  var slidesPerPage   6      slick   on  init   function event  slick      maxPages   Math ceil slick slideCount slidesPerPage        this  find   slider-paging-number li   append      maxPages            slick   slick      slidesToShow  slidesPerPage     slidesToScroll  slidesPerPage     arrows  false     autoplay  true     dots  true     infinite  true     dotsClass   slider-paging-number           CSS   ul slider-paging-number       list-style  none      li           display  none           amp  slick-active               display  inline-block                    button               background  none              border  none

You need to bind init before initialization       slider-for   on  init   function event  slick             this  append   lt div class  slider-count  gt  lt p gt  lt span id  current  gt 1 lt  span gt  von  lt span id  total  gt   slick slideCount   lt  span gt  lt  p gt  lt  div gt                     slider-for   slick         slidesToShow  1        slidesToScroll  1        arrows  true        fade  true                 slider-for            on  afterChange   function event  slick  currentSlide  nextSlide                  finally let s do this after changing slides                 slider-count  current   html currentSlide 1

This might help    You don t need to enable dots or customPaging  Position  slick-counter with CSS    CSS   slick-counter    position absolute    top 5px    left 5px    background yellow    padding 5px    opacity 0 8    border-radius 5px      JavaScript  var  el       slideshow      el slick     slide   img     autoplay  true    onInit  function e        el append   lt div class  slick-counter  gt    parseInt e currentSlide   1  10          e slideCount    lt  div gt            onAfterChange  function e        el find   slick-counter   html e currentSlide   1        e slideCount             http   jsfiddle net cpdqhdwy 6
