Slick: getSlick on init

[mpmp0]

[ http://jsfiddle.net/f262t1ov/22/ ]

Steps to reproduce the problem

1. Initialize slick slick slider, and try to get $('.slider1').slick('getSlick'),
   

What is the expected behaviour?

Should be able to get the getSlick object in the init event

What is observed behaviour?

Slick gets an error, which seems like the slick slider is not fully initialized.
Cannot read property 'getSlick' of undefined TypeError: Cannot read property 'getSlick' of undefined

More Details

• Did this work before?

This worked before on slick 1.3.5 with callbacks, before the new current slick events

onInit = function (obj) {
$slider = obj.$slider;
}

The new init event returns an object, which is not the one I want.
I could get the getSlick object if call it outside of the init event, but I rather have it in there.

Hey @mphm thanks for making an issue. I dont see the method in the docs, but I do see it in the code. I wonder if full support for this method was deprecated. What are you trying to do--maybe there's a good alternative? I think the init event should take a slick argument which allows you to get the jquery selection object.

I think the documentation is wrong, if you pass in two arguments to onInit

then you get an event and a slick instance available in the function

Every event has the event object as the first argument https://github.com/kenwheeler/slick

OK, but the documentation on the website implies the only argument is the slick instance, but it's actually an event & the slick instance . This causes confusion when people are trying to use the slick instance by passing in one argument but they are actually getting the event. When I got bit by this I found a lot of similar cases on stackoverflow and elsewhere, thankfully I think it can be resolved with a simple documentation update.

I broke out a new issue here https://github.com/kenwheeler/slick/issues/2921
