jquery - Slick Carousel with Angular JS

Question

I am using Slick carousel in one of my AngularJS application. For that I have created directive as follows:

  myApp.directive('slickSlider',function(){
   return {
     restrict: 'A',
     link: function(scope,element,attrs) {
       $(element).slick(scope.$eval(attrs.slickSlider));
   }
  }
 }); 

Here is my code in view file:

  <div class="clearfix"  
  slick-slider="{dots: false, arrows: true, draggable: 
  false, slidesToShow:3, infinite:false}">
              <div class="my-slide">
                  <a><img ng-src="assets/img/img1.png"/></a>
              </div>
              <div class="my-slide">
                  <a><img ng-src="assets/img/img1.png"/></a>
              </div>
              <div class="my-slide">
                  <a><img ng-src="assets/img/img1.png"/></a>
              </div>
              <div class="my-slide">
                  <a><img ng-src="assets/img/img1.png"/></a>
              </div>
              <div class="my-slide">
                  <a><img ng-src="assets/img/img1.png"/></a>
              </div>
              <div class="my-slide">
                  <a><img ng-src="assets/img/img1.png"/></a>
              </div>
    </div>

In this case it is working fine and initializing properly.

But when I creates slides dynamically using ngRepeat, it is not initializing and shows slides one after the other.

Here is my code using ngRepeat

<div class="clearfix"  
  slick-slider="{dots: false, arrows: true, draggable: 
  false, slidesToShow:3, infinite:false}">
      <div class="my-slide" ng-repeat="slide in slides">
         <a><img ng-src="assets/img/{{slide.img}}"/></a>
       </div>
 </div>

Any suggestion, how can I resolve it?

I suspect that the slick plugin may need the DOM to be fully rendered to work properly.

Try:

myApp.directive('slickSlider',function($timeout){
 return {
   restrict: 'A',
   link: function(scope,element,attrs) {
     $timeout(function() {
         $(element).slick(scope.$eval(attrs.slickSlider));
     });
   }
 }
});
