Swiper: remove slides from dom to save memory

[ndamofli]

I am using swiper v.3 with a really big slider (100 + slides/images). I am wondering if there is a way to remove unused slides / images from the dom to save memory (say keeping only 10 of them loaded at a time)
Thank you

Only some custom solution based on heavy usage of callbacks where you may remove and add slides depending on activeIndex. But i have in plans to realize something like Virtual Slides, that will keep in dom only required amount of slides

[nolimits4web]

You can also try to hide content/images in not-active/visible slides and use lazy loader on images

Any progress regarding this issue ?

As far as I can tell this will still require a custom solution. I have been working on something and if I manage to get it working I will post it up.

@mikebonds cool, let us know when you have something working :-)

I am also working on a solution using the callbacks.

Lazy Loading doesn't seem to preload a few prev/next images like it should:

initialSlide: 1,
preloadImages: false,
hashnav: true,
lazyLoading: true,
lazyLoadingInPrevNext: true,
lazyLoadingInPrevNextAmount: 10

.. what am I doing wrong?

Also, once the data-src has been replaced with img, I wonder if I browse 300 images, that many will be loaded in memory?

Any progress on this? Swiper has everything I need, but its just slow compared to PhotoSwipe.

Virtual Slides would make this plugin the No. 1 choice. Lack of the "virtual slides" it is the only thing that stops me from using this plugin. Any progress on this?

[3zzy]

No plans to implement this at all?

Looks like this will be included in version 4: https://github.com/nolimits4web/Swiper/blob/master/CHANGELOG.md

[nolimits4web]

It is already in v4

@nolimits4web, Is there any api or workaround to remove a slide from the virtual slides. The general mySwiper.removeSlide() doesn't seem to work.
Thanks in advance.
