Change height of Slick Carousel

Question

Here is a fiddle of Slick Carousel embedded in a Bootstrap thumbnail.

JSFiddle

How can I make the carousel only 200px tall and ensure that the images are scaled proportionally? I can't seem to get the carousel to fit inside a container who's height I dictate.

NOTE: Resize your browser after loading this fiddle! This works around a known bug where the plugin layout is not initializing on page load. This is not the issue I'm needing solved. Ignore this issue.

HTML

<div ng-app="slickExampleApp" class="background">

Answer 1

I have faced the same problem more or less, using images in Slick is tricky. So when I had a webpage on desktop everything was very smooth. But on mobile the slide was to small. The suggestion with scale(2) did not work hence it would make the image bigger then te screen.

After going back and forward I decided, to crop the images to be more vertical instead of horizontal.

Then In Jquery I did:

if ($(window).width() < 820) {
   $("#slide-1").prop("src", "/slide1-resp.png");
   $("#slide-2").prop("src", "/slide2-resp.png");
   $("#slide-3").prop("src", "/slide3-resp.png");
}

I hope this answer is relevant for those who came here with the same problem.

Answer 2

I was having to set the height eg .slick-carousel{width: 200px;} because adaptive height wasnt working and slick was making the carousel as tall as the imgs (before it was resized by css). but after messing around with it for a while. this is what works for me.

    .slick-slide{
        display: none;
        float: left;
        height: auto;
        min-height: 1px;
        img{
            max-width: 100vw !important; 
        }
    }

Answer 3

Set the container div's height to the desired height for example 60% and the slick's and the 2 following div's height to 100%.

EXAMPLE:

CSS:

.html {
  height: 100%;
}
.slick-container {
  height: 60%;
}
.slick-slider, .slick-list, .slick-track {
  height: 100%;
}

JS:

$(document).ready(function(){
  $('.slick-slider').slick();
});

Answer 4

Try removing slidesToScroll from the config. The following simple combination worked for me without any additional CSS fudgery.

$('.slick-carousel').slick({
     variableWidth: true,
     centerMode: true
 });

Answer 5

Answer:

CSS

.slick-slide {
   height:200px;
}

.slick-slide img {
   height:200px;
}

Answer 6

Apparently the issue with adaptive height it's a bug as the source code says: https://github.com/kenwheeler/slick/issues/790
