Custom arrows in slick slider

Hi! I want to replace the default arrows of slick slider with the Font Awesome ones. Have you already tried this?

Hey Gian,

Slick has a two (prevArrow and nextArrow) settings available to change the HTML string for the next and previous arrows. It defaults to 

<button type="button" class="slick-prev">Previous</button>

and

<button type="button" class="slick-prev">Next</button>

You could change the string on each one to Font Awesome's syntax and you should be good to go.

For instance:

$('.selector').slick({
  nextArrow: '<i class="fa fa-arrow-right"></i>',
  prevArrow: '<i class="fa fa-arrow-left"></i>',
// add the rest of your options here
});
