How to fix spacing issue with variable slide heights using ion-slides?

Ionic Framework ionic-v3
1

I’m using ion-slides to put variable ion-card content inside. The pager only shows up at the bottom of the longest ion-slide. So if slide 1 is 100px height, and slide 2 is 500px height, then the pager shows up below slide 2, which creates a huge white space problem for slide 1.

I should preface by saying I added a .swiper-container { height: initial; } to my sass file, otherwise my content will not scroll.

I can target each slide individually to adjust the height property, but I’d prefer to have a solution where I’m targeting every slide. Any ideas? Thanks,

UPDATE: I wanted to add pager to bottom of a variable slide height, but have since moved the pager to the top, and focused on fixing the additional white spaces at bottom.

You shouldn’t add that to your container. Rather stick it to a div inside the swiper with your content, otherwise it messes with the UI from ion-slides. Default a slide fills the entire space and the pager is stuck to the bottom, so it will always be visible.

I just tried applying div inside the ion-slides element, but I got funky results. Here’s the gist of the template I am using -

<ion-content padding>
      <ion-slides pager>
            <ion-slide>
              <ion-card>[variable content]</ion-card>
            </ion-slide>
            ... more slides
      </ion-slides>
</ion-content>

sass - only thing in there to get the scrollbar is this -

    .swiper-container { 
      height: initial;
    }

Could you provide me your template and scss related to this problem?

Hi - so I found the solution to my problem with variable slide heights for ion-slides ui component.

<ion-content padding class="slider-zoom">
    <ion-slides pager>
        <ion-slide>// then adding ion-slide { overflow-y: auto } in scss helped!
            <ion-card>[variable content]</ion-card>
        </ion-slide>
        ... more slides
    </ion-slides>
</ion-content>

Hiding all inactive ion-slide elements works for me:

.swiper-slide:not(.swiper-slide-active) > div {
    display:none;
}

cheers…

you solve this in ionic 4 in sliders options in your .ts file putting parameter autoheight=true

slideOpts = {
autoHeight: true
};

hope that help!
