{
version: version, // tiny-slider version
getInfo: info(),
events: events, // Object
goTo: goTo(),
play: play(),
pause: pause(),
isOn: isOn, // Boolean
updateSliderHeight: updateInnerWrapperHeight(),
refresh: initSliderTransform(),
destroy: destroy(),
rebuild: rebuild()
}
To get the slider information, you can either use the getInfo() method or subscribe to an Event. Both return an Object:
{
container: container, // slider container
slideItems: slideItems, // slides list
navContainer: navContainer, // nav container
navItems: navItems, // dots list
controlsContainer: controlsContainer, // controls container
hasControls: hasControls, // indicate if controls exist
prevButton: prevButton, // previous button
nextButton: nextButton, // next button
items: items, // items on a page
slideBy: slideBy // items slide by
cloneCount: cloneCount, // cloned slide count
slideCount: slideCount, // original slide count
slideCountNew: slideCountNew, // total slide count after initialization
index: index, // current index
indexCached: indexCached, // previous index
displayIndex: getCurrentSlide(), // display index starts from 1
navCurrent: navCurrent, // current dot index
navCurrentCached: navCurrentCached, // previous dot index
pages: pages, // visible nav indexes
pagesCached: pagesCached,
sheet: sheet,
event: e || {}, // event object if available
};
getInfo
Get slider information.
slider.getInfo();
document.querySelector('.next-button').onclick = function () {
// get slider info
var info = slider.getInfo(),
indexPrev = info.indexCached,
indexCurrent = info.index;
// update style based on index
info.slideItems[indexPrev].classList.remove('active');
info.slideItems[indexCurrent].classList.add('active');
};
goTo
Go to specific slide by number or keywords.
slider.goTo(3);
slider.goTo('prev');
slider.goTo('next');
slider.goTo('first');
slider.goTo('last');
document.querySelector('.goto-button').onclick = function () {
slider.goTo(3);
};
play
Programmatically start slider autoplay when autoplay: true.
slider.play();
pause
Programmatically stop slider autoplay when autoplay: true.
slider.pause();
updateSliderHeight
Manually adjust slider height when autoHeight is true.
slider.updateSliderHeight();
destroy
Destroy the slider.
slider.destroy();
rebuild
Rebuild the slider after destroy.
slider = slider.rebuild();
// this method returns a new slider Object with the same options with the original slider
Custom Events
Available events include: indexChanged, transitionStart, transitionEnd, newBreakpointStart, newBreakpointEnd, touchStart, touchMove, touchEnd, dragStart, dragMove and dragEnd.
var customizedFunction = function (info, eventName) {
// direct access to info object
console.log(info.event.type, info.container.id);
}
// bind function to event
slider.events.on('transitionEnd', customizedFunction);
// remove function binding
slider.events.off('transitionEnd', customizedFunction);
