How to enable Slick navigation dots when there are few slides?

Question

JavaScript

Good night all. I'm trying to make such a slider using Slick :

there will be only three articles in the slider. And there should be navigation in the form of dots. In Slick's settings I wrote

slidesToShow: 3,
dots: true

In this case, the dots do not appear. Only if you do not add a few more articles. Is there a way to make dots always show up?

Answer 1

Because slidesToShow: 3 says that you have 3 slides displayed at the same time, since you only have 3 slides, then slick displays everything completely. Change the parameter value to 1

Answer 2

slick dots are generated in the dom based on the number of slides. if there are no slides, then there will be no points. as an option - you can make blank slides

Answer 3

How?
1) Make a deep copy of the Slick object.
2) Redefine methods for working with points.
