Toggle carousel indicator

[paltinescu]

Hi,

Is there a way to toggle a carousel's indicator at runtime (so, to set its indicator property to true or false, once it's loaded in page)?

Thanks!

carousel.setIndicator({hidden:true})//hide the indicator
carousel.setIndicator({hidden:false})//show the indicator

Somehow I keep forgetting that configuration options are set using the setConfigName() methods... Thanks!

The setter will destroy the old indicator and create a new one which works but is not optimal. You can just hide the one that is created:

carousel.getIndicator().hide();
carousel.getIndicator().show();

Great tip! One question, though: could an existing (hidden or not) carousel indicator be updated automatically by adding (or removing) elements from the carousel?

If you add/remove components to the carousel the indicator will stay in sync with that yes.
