How to make a owl carousel with arrows instead of next previous

Yesterday I presented a website to a customer. I always use Owl carousel since it's responsive. The client, however, hated the previous, next words, and wanted to change them to arrows.

So hence I updated my script. js file. It was very easy to do and I wanted to share it. 

$(document).ready(function(){
$('.owl-carousel').owlCarousel({
    nav:true,
    responsive:{
     ...
 })
 $( ".owl-prev").html('<i class="fa fa-chevron-left"></i>');
 $( ".owl-next").html('<i class="fa fa-chevron-right"></i>');
});

Well there you have it. You can always add more styling. (First time I use an answer to your own question hope this is the right place/way)

If you using latest Owl Carousel 2 version. You can replace the Navigation text by fontawesome icon. Code is below.

$('.your-class').owlCarousel({
        loop: true,
        items: 1, // Select Item Number
        autoplay:true,
        dots: false,
        nav: true,
        navText: ["<i class='fa fa-long-arrow-left'></i>","<i class='fa fa-long-arrow-right'></i>"],

    });

The following code works for me on owl carousel .

https://github.com/OwlFonk/OwlCarousel

$(".owl-carousel").owlCarousel({
    items: 1,
    autoplay: true,
    navigation: true,
    navigationText: ["<i class='fa fa-angle-left'></i>", "<i class='fa fa-angle-right'></i>"]
});

For OwlCarousel2

 $(".owl-carousel").owlCarousel({
    items: 1,
    autoplay: true,
    nav: true,

});

This is how you do it in your $(document).ready() function with FontAwesome Icons:

 $( ".owl-prev").html('<i class="fa fa-chevron-left"></i>');
 $( ".owl-next").html('<i class="fa fa-chevron-right"></i>');

If you're using Owl Carousel 2, then you should use the following:

$(".category-wrapper").owlCarousel({
     items : 4,
     loop  : true,
     margin : 30,
     nav    : true,
     smartSpeed :900,
     navText : ["<i class='fa fa-chevron-left'></i>","<i class='fa fa-chevron-right'></i>"]
   });

A note for others who may be using Owl Carousel v 1.3.2:

You can replace the navigation text in the settings where you're enabling the navigation.

navigation:true,
navigationText: [
   "<i class='fa fa-chevron-left'></i>",
   "<i class='fa fa-chevron-right'></i>"
]
