Slick slider not being responsive when resizing the window

Question

I have created a image slider in WordPress using slick slider. I am using center mode I want one image centered with one on each side slightly showing. But I am having a few problems. Firstly when I resize the window slick slider doesn't calculate the new image widths until I interact with the slider, this is problem is not present in the demo. Secondly the images on each side aren't showing like they should.

$('.carousel').slick({
  centerMode: true,
  centerPadding: '0px',
  slidesToShow: 1,
});

#container{
  width: 100%;
}

.slick-slide img{
    width: 80%;
    height: auto;
    max-width: 2000px;
}

Answer 3

Run the slick method on window resize to recalculate the image dimensions.

$(window).on('resize orientationchange', function() {
  $('.carousel').slick('resize');
});

Answer 4

Turns out that all I needed was some css styles and to add the latest jQuery to wordpress. Check my codepen to see the css if you're have the same problem

Answer 5

Here's the code I use to resize my slack carousel, whenever the browser window changes height.

    var MARGIN_TOP_BOTTOM = 15;

    $(window).on('init resize', function () {
        var newWindowHeight = $(this).height();
        newWindowHeight -= (MARGIN_TOP_BOTTOM * 2);

        $(".cssCarousel").css("margin", MARGIN_TOP_BOTTOM + "px 0px");
        $(".slick-slide").css("height", newWindowHeight + "px");
        $(".slick-slide img").css("height", newWindowHeight + "px");
    });

As you can see, I leave a small (15px) gap at the top & bottom.
