How add spaces between Slick carousel item

Question

I want to add space between two slick carousel items, but not want the space with padding, because it\'s reducing my element size(and I don\'t want that).

Answer 1

The slick-slide has inner wrapping div which you can use to create spacing between slides without breaking the design:

.slick-list {margin: 0 -5px;}
.slick-slide>div {padding: 0 5px;}

Answer 2

An improvement based on the post by Dishan TD (which removes the vertical margin as well):

  .slick-slide{
    margin-left:  15px;
    margin-right:  15px;
  }

  .slick-list {
    margin-left: -15px;
    margin-right: -15px;
    pointer-events: none;
  }

Note: the pointer-events was necessary in my case, to be able to click on the left arrow.

For example: Add this data-attr to your primary slick div: data-space="7"

                    $('[data-space]').each(function () {
                        var $this = $(this),
                            $space = $this.attr('data-space');

                        $('.slick-slide').css({
                            marginLeft: $space + 'px',
                            marginRight: $space + 'px'
                        });

                        $('.slick-list').css({
                            marginLeft: -$space + 'px',
                            marginRight: -$space/2 + 'px'
                        })
                    });

Answer 4

Yup, I have found the solution for dis issue.

• Create one slider box with extra width from both side( Which we can use to add item space from both sides ).
• Create Inner Item Content with proper width & margin from both sides( This should be your actual wrapper size )
• Done

Answer 5

    /* the slides */
  .slick-slide {
    margin: 0 27px;
  }
  /* the parent */
  .slick-list {
    margin: 0 -27px;
  }

This problem reported as issue (#582) on plugin's github, btw this solution mentioned there too, (https://github.com/kenwheeler/slick/issues/582)

Just fix css:

/* the slides */
.slick-slider {
    overflow: hidden;
}
/* the parent */
.slick-list {
    margin: 0 -9px;
}
/* item */  
.item{
    padding: 0 9px;
}
