①Create two normal sliders
<style>
.slider-container{
width:50%;
margin:0 auto;
}
.slick-prev,.slick-next{z-index:2;}
.slick-prev{left:0!important;}
.slick-next{right:0!important;}
</style>
<div class="slider-container">
<div id="slider">
<div><img src="./img/slider_img01.jpg"></div>
<div><img src="./img/slider_img02.jpg"></div>
<div><img src="./img/slider_img03.jpg"></div>
</div>
<div id="thumbs">
<div><img src="./img/slider_img01.jpg"></div>
<div><img src="./img/slider_img02.jpg"></div>
<div><img src="./img/slider_img03.jpg"></div>
</div>
</div>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/slick-carousel/1.9.0/slick.css"/>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/slick-carousel/1.9.0/slick-theme.css">
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.3.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/slick-carousel/1.9.0/slick.min.js"></script>
<script>
$("#slider").slick({
//write option here
})
$("#thumbs").slick({
//write option here
})
</script>
Two slider has been created. They are moving independently at this point.
②Interlock the two sliders
By using asNavFor option, we can interlock the sliders.
$("#slider").slick({
asNavFor:"#thumbs", //added
})
$("#thumbs").slick({
asNavFor:"#slider", //added
})
The two sliders has been interlocked!
If you move a slider, then other slider will move.
③Specify showing slide number
Specify showing slide number of thumbnail at slidesToShow option.
$("#thumbs").slick({
asNavFor:"#slider",
slidesToShow: 3, //added
})
④Move main slider by clicking thumbnail
After adding javascript like below, you can move main slider by clicking thumbnail.
$("#thumbs .slick-slide").on("click",function(){
let index=$(this).attr("data-slick-index")
$("#slider").slick("slickGoTo",index)
})
Plese click thumbnail, then main slider will move.
⑤Add frame border to active slide of thumbnail slider
specify border propertiy to thumbani.
Allow sufficient space between each thumbanil as well.
#thumbs .slick-current img{
border:3px solid #000;
}
.slick-slide{
padding:2px;
}
