Feature Request: differentiate "active" and "inactive" controls about lory HOT 4 OPEN

Hi,
I thought about doing it this way but:

1. This doesn't work when slidesToScroll > 1. And there's no easy fix such as adding the number of slidesToScroll to the returnIndex or something, because returnIndex is inherently broken at the end of the carousel (after the last slide action that slides to the complete end of the carousel, returnIndex is the same as the previous slide). For this to work well and easy enough, the API should have something such as atStart and atEnd that returns the corresponding truth values.
2. It's a bit complicated for a feature I think is elementary. I understand that you want people to use the API to extend the functionality but since controls were deemed so common that they were built into lory (they could have been left to the user to build with the API instead), then those controls should be powerful enough to cover such a common "enabled/disabled styling" use case. In my opinion it's just as useful as setting an "active" class to the current slide.

Hey @hchargois,

sorry for the late answer! Yes u are right so since the controls are already integrated in lory I totally understand your point. So if u want and still need this feature, make a pull-request on that.

Thanks for contributing!

Hey @hchargois,

you could do this by using returnIndex and compare the value with the total length of the slides or zero! And I would do this always on "after.lory.slide".

If "infinite" is false, and the returned index is either 0 or the max length of your slides, then you add/remove a class which shows the active/inactive state.

Does this help?

Any updates about this features? Can we now hide controls when they are not "active"?
