'How to change swipe direction in swiper.js?

I'm struggling with changing swipe direction when I rotate my swiper on 90deg. So in the beginning by default it has horizontal direction. When clicking on slide I'm rotating "swiper-container" making it full screen . So it still has swiping direction from left to right , but I need to change from top to bottom without changing in params direction to vertical . 

const topSwiper = new Swiper(this.DOMTopSwiper.current, {
  spaceBetween: 0,
  observer: true,
  observeParents: true,
  observeSlideChildren: true,
  direction: "vertical",
  navigation: {
    nextEl: ".top-swiper-button-next",
    prevEl: ".top-swiper-button-prev",
  },
  pagination: {
    el: ".zoom-amount-slides",
    type: "fraction",
  },
})

Destroy previous Swiper and reinitialize Swiper giving the direction value. Here is doc

DEMO

let isVertical = true,
  direction = 'vertical';
let swiper = initSwiper(direction);

function initSwiper(direction) {
  return new Swiper('.swiper-container', {
    spaceBetween: 50,
    pagination: {
      el: '.swiper-pagination',
      clickable: true,
    },
    direction: direction
  });

}

function changeDirection() {
  isVertical = !isVertical;
  direction = isVertical ? 'vertical' : 'horizontal';
  let slideIndex = swiper.activeIndex;
  swiper.destroy(true, true);
  swiper = initSwiper(direction);
  swiper.slideTo(slideIndex,0);
}

For who's searching this in 2022, now is possible to update direction using swiper.changeDirection('vertical'); // or horizontal

Quick edit if you need to rotate at 180 your swiperjs

var rotate180Swiper = (function (swiper, optIsRotate180) {
        var isRoate180 = !!optIsRotate180
        swiper.___touches = {}
        swiper.___touches.currentX = swiper.touches.currentX
        Object.defineProperty(swiper.touches, 'currentX', {
                set: function (v) {
                        if (!isRoate180) {
                                swiper.___touches.currentX = -v
                        } else {

                                swiper.___touches.currentX = v
                        }

                },
                get: function () {
                        return swiper.___touches.currentX
                }
        })

        return function (b) {
                isRoate180 = b
        }
})
