Slide to ion-slide with custom ID instead of index value

Hi,

I have products which are shown in slider, but when i click on product outside ion-slide-box, i want that slider go to slide with that product ID.

The problem is $ionicSlideBoxDelegate.slide(to, [speed]) accepts only the index of slide. I don’t know index value and I’m using ng-repeat and i need to go to that slide based on ID.

I tried to create an array which associate product ID with slide index, but the problem is that array get enormous, and slow to iterate.

Please help!
Thank you.

Solved, i found a way to do it. Need testing though

How did you solve it? Other people have similar issues and find pages like this from Google. Just saying “Solved” doesn’t help them.

Can you share your solution, please?
