Slick: Reinit - duplicates buttons and dots after every call

[Krknv]

Reinit - duplicates buttons and dots after every call.

$("#slick01").slick('reinit');

@kenwheeler is this issue being looked at?

[kenwheeler]

Under what conditions does this occur? Is destroy not being called?

[miscbits]

Dont call destroy and just reinit. If destory is supposed to be called before reinit, it seems that the function is named in an ambiguous way since reinitializing sounds like it should destroy the slider anyway.

I would suggest checking to see if a slider is currently initialized so that the error doesn't persist.

Hey so I don't know if Im missing it but I don't see reinit anywhere in documentation. I think when you call it, it feels like it should be refresh if it is initialized.

I threw in a quick check in my version here. if (_.$slider.hasClass('slick-initialized')) and when that is true, it calls refresh and then returns nothing. correct me if that isn't the way the functionality is supposed to work.

Try few times in console on http://kenwheeler.github.io/slick/

$('.single-item').slick('reinit');

[kenwheeler]

Reinit is an internal function that you are choosing to call. It is typically preceded by a destroy.

[Krknv]

Can I call destroy then init, for refresh? That seems ok.

$('.single-item').slick('destroy');
$('.single-item').slick('init');

[miscbits]

even if its an internal function just having the check can't hurt if people come into this glitch.

@RsD0p9BK: you can call $('.single-item').slick('refresh'); for refresh.

[miscbits]

What exactly is reinit supposed to do?

[kenwheeler]

It's used to reinitialize the slider after apply option sets in between breakpoints

Looks like this got settled. Closing.

else Try this variant:
```
$('.your-slider').on('reInit', function(event, slick) {
$('.your-slider').slick('slickSetOption', {arrows:false, dots:false});
});
