What's the usage of longSwipes and shortSwipes config in swiper？

Question

When I read the swiper's docs, I can not get what's the usage of longSwipes. Can anyone tell me ? It's best to give an example. Thanks. https://swiperjs.com/swiper-api#swiper-full-html-layout

Answer 1

Old post but here are my findings...

By default shortSwipes moves to the next slide with a very short swipe distance. Long swipe moves to the next slide when the current slide is dragged > 50% of the view.

When setting shortSwipes to false, you now have to drag the slide more than 50% of the view to advance to the next/prev slide.

When setting longSwipes to false, you now can only advance to the next/prev slide with a very short drag.

When setting both shortSwipes and longSwipes to false, swiping becomes disabled.
