Windowscommunitytoolkit: Loop for Carousel

[Jebarson]

Hey guys, Is any work being done in getting loop functionality for Carousel? If yes, any ETA?

[nmetulev]

Great idea, ping @mimetis

[Vijay-Nirmal]

Also, It would be nice to have a forward and backward button

[Jebarson]

@mimetis and @nmetulev , is this coming anytime soon? If not probably I would go ahead and implement

[nmetulev]

@Jebarson, feel free to submit a PR to add this, that would be amazing. No work is currently being done for this.

[nmetulev]

@Jebarson, were you still planing on implementing this?

[Jebarson]

Yes I am. For some reason I am getting compilation issue with the source code. I will start once i pass that.

[Jebarson]

@nmetulev I completed the code for this and updated the sample also.

I have got one question though. To achieve this functionality, I had to create a class LinkedList<T>. Should I keep it as a private class inside carousel or should I keep it somewhere where it can be used by programmers as well? If it can be exposed, would Microsoft.Toolkit.Uwp be the right namespace?

[nmetulev]

That's great. On the LinkedList, any reason why you created a new class instead of using the built in?

[Jebarson]

The problem with the LinkedList (inbuilt) is that, it doesn't offer circular. The Linked list I wrote offers both circular and normal single linked list. It basically simplifies the code, otherwise I would be writing separate logic for circular and normal.

When Circular Carousel feature is expected in This toolkit?
I need this feature in my app?

[nmetulev]

This is being worked on in #1542

Ping @Jebarson for a status update.

[lucaasrojas]

The PR #1542 is closed. Can we do the same with this issue?

[skendrot]

No. It remains a request

[michael-hawker]

Think we'd want to use ItemsRepeater for this, eh? @JustinXinLiu

[Kyaa-dost]

@Jebarson What's the status on this?

[Jebarson]

too old and too much fuss about the PR. Consider this closed
