Update Swiper to latest release

Short description of the problem:

API functionality for Ion-slides is out of step with that available in Swiper

What behavior are you expecting?

Future release of Ionic to be updated to use latest version of Swiper as found here:

https://github.com/nolimits4web/Swiper/tree/master/dist/js

Which Ionic Version? 1.x or 2.x

1.x

Is it possible to integrate the navigation arrows? (see example https://github.com/nolimits4web/Swiper/blob/master/demos/14-nav-arrows.html)

Hey, it is already possible to do this in the current version. You will need to add the arrows in your html, like in the example you linked to.

<div class="swiper-button-next"></div>
<div class="swiper-button-prev"></div>

You will also likely need to specify the class names in your $scope.options.

$scope.options = {
  loop: false,
  effect: 'fade',
  speed: 500,
  nextButton: '.swiper-button-next',
  prevButton: '.swiper-button-prev'
}

This isn't a bulletproof guide (they may need styling / other code) but that's the jist of it :)

Noticed that it has been suggested to split Swiper off into a separate package for Ionic 2.

Perhaps the same approach would also be beneficial for v1

Is it possible to use the progress pagination type with the shipped version? http://idangero.us/swiper/demos/37-pagination-progress.html

@jmatsushita I've tried to do exactly this, but cannot seem to make it work.

Might there be any news re: updating Swiper?

Is this expected at any point soon? The current version of swiper in Ionic is fairly old (Aug 2015). We'd really like to use some of the newer features like the fraction pagination. I'm just trying to get a sense of the timeline/priority on this issue.

This issue has been closed. Does that mean I can use the progress pagination type in ion-slides options? It does not work for me in ionic v1 1.3.2.
