REQUEST gotoIndex method

Any chance of creating a method on ref that would allow the consumer to jump to a certain slide index?

Something like: ref.goToIndex(2)

@dohooo This method is marked deprecated in the docs. Why is that? I have a map view where users can click on a dot and it moves the slider to that slide, so goToIndex is very useful for this.

WOW! Your app looks very cool! Sorry for that we changed this method but u can used new one to instead it. scrollTo

Sorry for commenting on this closed topic, but I’d like to make note that goToIndex and scrollTo behave differently.

• scrollTo allows you to move a certain number of items to the left or right
• goToIndex allows you to go to a specific index without having to do any calculations

For example, if I want to scroll 1 item to the right, such as if the user clicked on an arrow, the scrollTo method with a count property of 1 would solve that use case.

However, if the user is selecting items from another UI element such as a marker on a map, it is often more efficient (with code that is easier to read) to simply use goToIndex instead. For example, the index of a map marker likely matches the same index in the carousel.

I’d like to propose that goToIndex is no longer marked as deprecated as it has its own specific use cases.

(Side-note: thank you for creating this awesome library - it’s a great improvement over other carousel libraries that exist)

Thank you for your detailed explanation! 🍺You’re right, would like to submit a PR that remove deprecated comment?
