Responsive Full Width jQuery Carousel Plugin - Sleek Slider

A lightweight and sleek jQuery carousel plugin that helps you create a fully responsive image/content slider with multiple kinds of navigation (SVG arrows with thumbnails, pagination and navigation tabs).

How to use it:

1. Include the latest jQuery JavaScript library and the jQuery Sleek Slider plugin at the bottom of your web page.

<script src="//code.jquery.com/jquery-1.11.1.min.js"></script>
<script src="javascripts/sleekslider.min.js"></script>

2. Create the Html for the SVG Arrows.

<div class="svg-wrap">
  <svg width="64" height="64" viewBox="0 0 64 64">
    <path id="arrow-left" d="M46.077 55.738c0.858 0.867 0.858 2.266 0 3.133s-2.243 0.867-3.101 0l-25.056-25.302c-0.858-0.867-0.858-2.269 0-3.133l25.056-25.306c0.858-0.867 2.243-0.867 3.101 0s0.858 2.266 0 3.133l-22.848 23.738 22.848 23.738z" />
  </svg>
  <svg width="64" height="64" viewBox="0 0 64 64">
    <path id="arrow-right" d="M17.919 55.738c-0.858 0.867-0.858 2.266 0 3.133s2.243 0.867 3.101 0l25.056-25.302c0.858-0.867 0.858-2.269 0-3.133l-25.056-25.306c-0.858-0.867-2.243-0.867-3.101 0s-0.858 2.266 0 3.133l22.848 23.738-22.848 23.738z" />
  </svg>
</div>

3. Build the Html structure for a carousel slider with arrows/tabs navigation and a pagination.

<div class="sleekslider"> 
  <!-- Slider Pages -->
  <div class="slide active bg-1">
    <div class="slide-container">
      <div class="slide-content">
        <h1>Slide 1 Content Here</h1>
      </div>
    </div>
  </div>
  <div class="slide bg-2">
    <div class="slide-container">
      <div class="slide-content">
        <h1>Slide 2 Some Content Here</h1>
      </div>
    </div>
  </div>
  <div class="slide bg-3">
    <div class="slide-container">
      <div class="slide-content">
        <h1>Slide 3 Content Here</h1>
      </div>
    </div>
  </div>
  <div class="slide bg-4">
    <div class="slide-container">
      <div class="slide-content">
        <h1>Slide 4 Some Content Here</h1>
      </div>
    </div>
  </div>
  <div class="slide bg-5">
    <div class="slide-container">
      <div class="slide-content">
        <h1>Slide 5 Content Here</h1>
      </div>
    </div>
  </div>
  
  <!-- Navigation Arrows with Thumbnails -->
  <nav class="nav-split"> <a class="prev" href=""> <span class="icon-wrap"><svg class="icon" width="22" height="22" viewBox="0 0 64 64">
    <use xlink:href="#arrow-left" />
    </svg></span>
    <div>
      <h3>test</h3>
      <img alt="Previous thumb"/> </div>
    </a> <a class="next" href=""> <span class="icon-wrap"><svg class="icon" width="22" height="22" viewBox="0 0 64 64">
    <use xlink:href="#arrow-right" />
    </svg></span>
    <div>
      <h3>test</h3>
      <img alt="Next thumb"/> </div>
    </a> </nav>
  
  <!-- Pagination -->
  <nav class="pagination"> <span class="current"></span> <span></span> <span></span> <span></span> <span></span> </nav>
  
  <!-- Navigation Tabs -->
  <nav class="tabs">
    <div class="tab-container">
      <ul>
        <li class="current"><a href="#"><span>01</span> Slide</a></li>
        <li><a href="#"><span>02</span> Slide</a></li>
        <li><a href="#"><span>03</span> Slide</a></li>
        <li><a href="#"><span>04</span> Slide</a></li>
        <li><a href="#"><span>05</span> Slide</a></li>
      </ul>
    </div>
  </nav>
</div>
