Stop swiper slide autoplay on mouse enter and start autoplay on mouse leave

Question

How to stop swiper slide autoplay on mouse enter and start autoplay on mouse leave? I have tried .stopAutoplay() and .startAutoplay() function but not worked for me.

thank you here is code. and i face console error

Uncaught TypeError: swiper .startAutoplay is not a function

 var swiper = new Swiper('.swiper-container', {
    pagination: '.swiper-pagination',
    paginationClickable: true,
    nextButton: '.swiper-button-next',
    prevButton: '.swiper-button-prev',
    spaceBetween: 0,
    loop: true,
    effect: 'slide',
    longSwipes: true,
    autoplay:2000,
    autoplayDisableOnInteraction:true,
});


$(".swiper-container").mouseenter(function(){
    swiper.stopAutoplay();
});

$(".swiper-container").mouseleave(function(){
    swiper.startAutoplay();
});

Answer 1

You need to use the option disableOnInteraction: true rather than binding the events yourself see here for documentation.

Optionally you can use the following for autoplay start stop

• swiper.autoplay.start();

• swiper.autoplay.stop();

Edit

Your mistake is how you are getting the instance for swiper. see below for demo

$(document).ready(function() {
  new Swiper('.swiper-container', {
    speed: 400,
    spaceBetween: 100,
    autoplay: true,
    disableOnInteraction: true,
  });
  var mySwiper = document.querySelector('.swiper-container').swiper

  $(".swiper-container").mouseenter(function() {
    mySwiper.autoplay.stop();
    console.log('slider stopped');
  });

  $(".swiper-container").mouseleave(function() {
    mySwiper.autoplay.start();
    console.log('slider started again');
  });
});

.swiper-slide {
  text-align: center;
}

<!-- Slider main container -->
<div class="swiper-container">
  <!-- Additional required wrapper -->
  <div class="swiper-wrapper">
    <!-- Slides -->
    <div class="swiper-slide">Slide 1</div>
    <div class="swiper-slide">Slide 2</div>
    <div class="swiper-slide">Slide 3</div>
    <div class="swiper-slide">Slide 4</div>
  </div>
  <!-- If we need pagination -->
  <div class="swiper-pagination"></div>

  <!-- If we need navigation buttons -->
  <div class="swiper-button-prev"></div>
  <div class="swiper-button-next"></div>

  <!-- If we need scrollbar -->
  <div class="swiper-scrollbar"></div>
</div>

Answer 2

var swiper = new Swiper('.swiper-container', { 
....
...
....
});

$(".swiper-container").hover(function() {
    (this).swiper.autoplay.stop();
}, function() {
    (this).swiper.autoplay.start();
});

generic solution for multiple sliders on same page.
