fjsc / simple-carousel Goto Github PK

I would like to include a start/stop feature with this element. I assumed that the auto & infinite-loop properties could be used to data bind; however when setting each to 'false', my element continues the loop. Im not sure if this is a bug or if I have misread the API. Thanks

I am using this component for showing dynamic content using dom-repeat template. It might happen that the imageList is blank for a short duration initially.

      <simple-carousel auto infinite-loop>
        <template is="dom-repeat" items="{{imageList}}" as="imageItem">
          <carousel-slide>
                 <img src="{{imageItem.imageURL}}">
          </carousel-slide>
        </template>
      </simple-carousel>

As the imageList is empty, the component does not get any slide to set as 'selected' item during attached callback. And the carousel fails to show any items even after the imageList gets filled with items, as the next() function does not have valid selected item.

This case of 'no-slides-initially' should be handled. The next() function should set the selected item, if it is 'undefined'.

it would be absolutely fantastic to have iron-list like deferred loading of images for carousels with many images

Hey Francisco,

My name is Binh, Community Marketing Specialist at Vaadin. I recently tested your component and really like it. It was featured in the blog 8 best Polymer carousel components, make sure you check it out.

Also, it would be awesome to have some words from the original author under the blog comment section, or in this tweet.

Cheers!
