How to Create Custom Arrows using react-slick in ReactJS

Solution Kit

React Slick gives a better component that we can use to add a carousel to our React applications. We can design the Slider component and apply styling according to our requirements. React Slick is an excellent library in react for creating carousels. It provides accessibility and responsiveness, amongst other attributes, to help you create significant carousels. We can also import CSS properties from the slick-carousel package that provides default styling. After that, we use the Slider component to provide a carousel with slides. Slick is a feature-rich slider plugin for producing highly customizable, fully responsive, and mobile-friendly carousels/sliders that work with HTML elements.

Slider settings have three configurations which are given below:

slidesToShow — number to regulate the number of slides to keep in view
slidesToScroll — number to determine the number of slides to move when navigating the carousel
infinite — Boolean to determine if the carousel continues in a loop when the last item is reached

The two functions we always want to use from the API are slickPrev and slickNext, which move the carousel back and forth, respectively by the number specified in slidesToScroll.

Here is an example of how to create custom arrows using react-slick in Reactjs:

Instructions

Follow the steps carefully to get the output easily.

Install the Node.js and React on your IDE. (preferably Visual Studio Code )
Create React application using npx create-react-app foldername
cd foldername.
npm i react-slick
Click on the code, and we get two types of code. Here we took the second one. Copy the code using the "Copy" button above, and paste it into App.js. ( Remove the earlier code from App.js)
npm start to run the file.
