previous( )

Moves to the previous image or slide.

Description

The previous() function returns a Promise that is resolved when the previous image or slide is completely rendered. Calling previous() when on the first item moves to the last item.

Notes:
When using previous() on a gallery, make sure the gallery is one where the isPlayable capability is true.
If you change a gallery's type to one that doesn't support previous(), your code may no longer function correctly.
