iDangerous Swiper plugin reset slides
I'm trying to do something like this:
http://jsfiddle.net/monastic/ydKn2/17/
<div id="slide-repo">
<div class="swiper-slide">
<img src="http://dummyimage.com/100x100/000/fff.jpg" />
</div>
...................
</div>
<div>
<button id="update-slides">Update Slides</button>
</div>
<div class="swiper-container">
<div class="swiper-wrapper">
<div class="swiper-slide">
<img src="http://dummyimage.com/100x100/ff0000/fff.jpg" />
</div>
.................
</div>
</div>
var mySwiper = new Swiper('.swiper-container', {
mode: 'vertical',
loop: true,
loopAdditionalSlides: 5,
centeredSlides: true,
slidesPerView: 2,
initialSlide: 0,
});
$('button#update-slides').on('click', function(){
var swiperWrapper = $('.swiper-wrapper'),
newSlides = $('#slide-repo').children('.swiper-slide').clone(true);
mySwiper.destroy();
swiperWrapper.empty().append(newSlides);
$('.swiper-wrapper').attr('style', '');
mySwiper.reInit();
});
But console is returning 'Cannot read property 'init' of null'.
Any suggestions?
I believe this is because you're calling mySwiper.destroy()
and therefore can't run reInit()
. The documentation says reInit is for resetting when you've added or removed slides. But here you're calling reInit on an element that is no longer a swiper.
Instead, you could re-create the swiper each time. (I'm not sure why just calling removeAllSlides
then reInit
does not keep the same settings.)
var settings = {
mode: 'vertical',
loop: true,
loopAdditionalSlides: 5,
centeredSlides: true,
slidesPerView: 2,
initialSlide: 0,
},
mySwiper = new Swiper('.swiper-container', settings);
$('button#update-slides').on('click', function(){
var swiperWrapper = $('.swiper-wrapper'),
newSlides = $('#slide-repo').children('.swiper-slide').clone(true);
mySwiper.destroy();
swiperWrapper.empty().append(newSlides);
$('.swiper-wrapper').attr('style', '');
mySwiper = new Swiper('.swiper-container', settings);
});
