Swiper: slideTo(".slide-classname")

Question

Does Swiper (http://www.idangero.us/swiper) provide an event to slide to a slide with a specific class? There is an event slideTo(index) but I need something like slideTo(".slide-classname").

This is what I am trying to do - maybe a different approach is possible:

<script type="text/javascript">
    $j(document).ready(function(){
      $j("#attribute529").change(function() { 
        var optionValue = $j(this).val();
        var optionValueText = $j.trim($j('#attribute529 :selected').text());
        if( ! optionValue ){ 
          galleryTop.slideTo(0);
        } else {
          galleryTop.slideTo(".product-image_" + optionValueText);
        }
      });
    });
</script>

I've created a solution below, here I've created a function getSlideIndexByClass which will return the index of an element in slider by it's class name, and then I just call the slideTo function with that index value.

var swiper = new Swiper('.swiper-container', {
  pagination: '.swiper-pagination',
  paginationClickable: true
});

swiper.slideTo(getSlideIndexByClass('my-class'));

function getSlideIndexByClass(className) {
  var index = 0;
  $.each($('.swiper-wrapper').children(), function(i, item) {
    if ($(item).hasClass(className)) {
      index = i;
      return false;
    }
  });
  return index;
}
