Owl-Carousel with Data Attribute not working on load

Question

I need help on data attribute for Owl-Carousel.

As you can see on my sample, on slide 1 and 3 there is attribute on each item. Is working only event is trigger but not working on load for slide 1 (first slide).

Thank you in advance.

Sample in Codepen https://codepen.io/jafaris-mustafa/pen/XWJwjaZ

$('.owl-carousel').owlCarousel({
  autoplay: true,
  loop: true,
  margin: 10,
  autoHeight: true,
  autoplayTimeout: 10000,
  smartSpeed: 800,
  nav: true,
  items: 1,

});

var owl = $('.owl-carousel');
owl.on('changed.owl.carousel', function(property) {
  var current = property.item.index;
  var src = $(property.target).find(".owl-item").eq(current).find(".item").attr('setBgClr');
  //console.log('Image current is ' + src);

  if ($(property.target).find(".owl-item").eq(current).find(".item").is('[setBgClr]')) {
    $(".heroes-wrap").css("background-color", src);
  } else {
    $(".heroes-wrap").css("background-color", "white");
  }

});

body {
  font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
}

Answer 1

There is an event initialized.owl.carousel, which will trigger on carousel initialization. Notice that initialize.owl.carousel and initialized.owl.carousel events must be attached before Owl Carousel initialization.

Make use of these events to change color on initial load, check the updated fiddle.

var owl = $('.owl-carousel');

owl.on('initialized.owl.carousel', function(property){  
  var current = property.item.index;
    var src = $(property.target).find(".owl-item").eq(current).find(".item").attr('setBgClr');
    if($(property.target).find(".owl-item").eq(current).find(".item").is('[setBgClr]')) {
        $(".heroes-wrap").css("background-color", src);
    } else {
        $(".heroes-wrap").css("background-color", "white");
    }
});

$('.owl-carousel').owlCarousel({
    autoplay: true,
  loop: true,
  margin: 10,
  autoHeight: true,
  autoplayTimeout: 10000,
  smartSpeed: 800,
  nav: true,
  items: 1,

});

owl.on('changed.owl.carousel',function(property){
    var current = property.item.index;
    var src = $(property.target).find(".owl-item").eq(current).find(".item").attr('setBgClr');

    if($(property.target).find(".owl-item").eq(current).find(".item").is('[setBgClr]')) {
        $(".heroes-wrap").css("background-color", src);
    } else {
        $(".heroes-wrap").css("background-color", "white");
    }
    
});

body {font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;}
.heroes-wrap {margin:2em; padding:1em;}
