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).

    $('.single-item').slick({
        initialSlide: 3,
        infinite: false
    });

.slick-slider {
    margin:0 -15px;
}
.slick-slide {
    padding:10px;
    background-color:red;
    text-align:center;
    margin-right:15px;
    margin-left:15px;
}

<div class="container">
    <div class="row">
        <div class="col-sm-12" style="background-color:gray;">
            <div class="slider single-item" style="background:yellow">
                <div>1</div>
                <div>2</div>
                <div>3</div>
                <div>4</div>
                <div>5</div>
                <div>6</div>
            </div>
        </div>
    </div>
</div>

Somehow I am getting space from both side, I am trying to remove that.

Answer 1

Add

centerPadding: '0'

Slider settings will look like:

$('.phase-slider-one').slick({
     centerMode: true,
     centerPadding: '0',
     responsive: [{breakpoint: 1024,},{breakpoint: 600,},{breakpoint: 480,}]
});

Thank you

Answer 2

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 3

Try to use pseudo classes like :first-child & :last-child to remove extra padding from first & last child.

Inspect the generated code of slick slider & try to remove padding on that.

Hope, it'll help!!!

    /* 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)

Answer 5

@Dishan TD's answer works nice, but I'm getting better results using only margin-left.

And to make this clearer to everyone else, you have to pay attention to the both opposite numbers: 27 and -27

  /* the slides */
  .slick-slide {
    margin-left:27px;
  }

  /* the parent */
  .slick-list {
    margin-left:-27px;
  }

Answer 6

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'
                        })
                    });
