We use Swiper 3.1.2 from http://www.idangero.us/swiper/ in Ionic 2. You can use this in your app without importing anything.
Ionic 2 Source Files:
https://github.com/driftyco/ionic2/blob/master/ionic/components/slides/swiper-widget.ts
https://github.com/driftyco/ionic2/blob/master/ionic/components/slides/slides.ts
Example Slides with images:
https://github.com/driftyco/ionic2/blob/master/ionic/components/slides/test/basic/main.html
https://github.com/driftyco/ionic2/blob/master/ionic/components/slides/test/basic/index.ts
The conference app is using this at the very beginning (all related code is in the tutorial directory):
https://github.com/driftyco/ionic-conference-app/tree/master/www/app/tutorial
So you can pass your options to the slider in options
<ion-slides pager [options]="extraOptions" (slideChanged)="onSlideChanged($event)">
JS:
this.extraOptions = {
loop: 'true',
pagination: '.swiper-pagination',
nextButton: '.swiper-button-next',
prevButton: '.swiper-button-prev',
paginationClickable: true,
spaceBetween: 30,
centeredSlides: true,
autoplay: 100,
autoplayDisableOnInteraction: false
}
