Responsive Option Example

The responsive option, and value, is quite unique and powerful. You can use it like so:

$(".slider").slick({
  // normal options...
  infinite: false,

  // the magic
  responsive: [
    {
      breakpoint: 1024,
      settings: {
        slidesToShow: 3,
        infinite: true,
      },
    },
    {
      breakpoint: 600,
      settings: {
        slidesToShow: 2,
        dots: true,
      },
    },
    {
      breakpoint: 300,
      settings: "unslick", // destroys slick
    },
  ],
});

  ngAfterViewInit(){
    this.lazyLoadService
      .loadScript(/* your script url */)
      .subscribe(() => {
