[4.0.0-4c.0] Provide full Swiper API

Feature Request

Ionic version:

[x] 4.0.0-rc.0

Describe the Feature Request

<ion-slides> is based on http://idangero.us/swiper/api, but do not implement all features (swipe effects other than slides, parallax, etc.). Mixing Swiper with Ionic lead to problems (and duplicate code).

Giving access to the entire Swiper component power would be awesome.

Describe Preferred Solution

As Swiper is modular, would be nice to have some way to import features on <ion-slides>, for example:

import SwiperParallax from "somewhere";

IonSlidesHTMLElement.modules = [SwiperParallax];

Or, at least, give access to the complete Swiper API (i.e.: make effect, parallax, etc. to work)

Describe Alternatives

No alternatives found, as importing Swiper seems to have side-effects on <ion-slides>.

Additional Context

Link to the original component: http://idangero.us/swiper/api Link to the documentation: https://beta.ionicframework.com/docs/api/slides (it says it adopted the above library, but I think the build process have removed some features, as they can be optional)

Thanks for the issue! To make it easier for everyone, we decided to expose the full Swiper API via a new getSwiper method in ion-slides. This will be available in the next stable release of Ionic.

I have released a dev build if anyone would like to try this out and provide feedback:

If using Angular: npm i @ionic/angular@4.9.0-dev.201908271629.e1fa461 If using Ionic Core: npm i @ionic/core@4.9.0-dev.201908271629.e1fa461
