Current behavior:
Swiper provides a rich set of API method, currently ion-slides wraps the underlying swiper instance and only exposes few API methods.

Expected behavior:
It will be great to expose all the available API methods so that user can have more control of the underlying swiper instances.

My app relies greatly on slides and now that RC5 has changed it it completely stopped working the way I expected. My autoplay doesn't work anymore, and I really need resistanceRatio. I'm following this thread to see how that goes.

Haven't there been a whole bunch of commits exposing further options to the ion-slides after RC5? For example #9983

You may need to hang tight for the next version.

• 1 this. I implemented an iOS calendar style page, and this relies on things like automatially setting to the 3rd slide with no transition. Trouble is, the slider initialisation happens after 300ms for some reason, and there is no event that fires when it completes. Also, having an event when the update() function completes would be very useful.
