Provide a vanila js slider instead of slick

[mariano-dagostino]

As drupal evolves to remove the jquery dependency as much as possible I think is worth to analyze if we can remove jQuery from the carousels

About 6 months ago I tried to look for a replacement to Slick, but none was good enough. Yeah, I won't mind changing it

Tried Swiper JS, but I don't think its worth the effort - #491 (comment)

As an idea, Splide is looking good (though I haven't tried it myself):

• https://www.drupal.org/project/splide

@amitaibu @bmunslow I have an Idea of replacing slick slider with tiny slider or glider-js. Please do let me know your thoughts. Thanks!

Unless there's a clear advantage, I believe we can keep the current implementation.

@amitaibu As Drupal is removing the jquery dependency we can also do the same as mentioned by @mariano-dagostino for slider. Also I can see jQuery is used in custom server_theme JS libraries. Ideally we should use vanilla JS in favour of removing the jQuery dependency.

Sure, PRs are welcome 😄
