iDangero.us Swiper slide count when loop is true

Question

I'm using iDangero.us Swiper js for a webpage, and initialization code is as following:

var mySwiper = new Swiper( '.swiper-container', {
    direction: 'horizontal',
    loop: true,
    speed: 600,
    nextButton: '.slider-control-next',
    prevButton: '.slider-control-prev',
} );

And I need to get current slider index and total count of sliders. Swiper API provides mySwiper.activeIndex property and mySwiper.slides but the problem is that when loop is true they don't give correct index and count.

Is there any way to get these numbers correctly when loop is true?

Answer 1

As of May 2016 they have added the realIndex property!

Things to be aware of: 1.) the realIndex property is returned as a string instead of an integer (just in case you need to do math with it) 2.) the realIndex property starts with 0(as it should), unlike activeIndex in loop mode which in my case started with 1
