                           console.log(direction);
                           // left
                      });'
        ],

        // Items for carousel. Empty array not allowed, exception will be throw, if empty 
        'items' => [
            Html::img('/cat_gallery/cat_001.png'),
            Html::img('/cat_gallery/cat_002.png'),
            Html::img('/cat_gallery/cat_003.png'),
            Html::img('/cat_gallery/cat_004.png'),
            Html::img('/cat_gallery/cat_005.png'),
        ],

        // HTML attribute for every carousel item
        'itemOptions' => ['class' => 'cat-image'],

        // settings for js plugin
        // @see http://kenwheeler.github.io/slick/#settings
        'clientOptions' => [
            'autoplay' => true,
            'dots'     => true,
            // note, that for params passing function you should use JsExpression object
            // but pay atention, In slick 1.4, callback methods have been deprecated and replaced with events.
            'onAfterChange' => new JsExpression('function() {console.log("The cat has shown")}'),
        ],

    ]); ?>
