How do I apply methods to a tippy.js instance from another file?

I am using tippy.js and swiper.js.

I am setting Tippy up as such:

tippy('.tippy', {
    allowHTML: true,
    theme: 'light div lg',
    offset: [0, 16],
});

This works fine.

However, I would like to close/hide tippy instances when a swiper.js has a slideChange event.

On my swiper init file I have:

 window['swiper_'+id].on('slideChange', function () {
    console.log('slide changed');
    const thisTippy = tippy($('.tippy'));

     thisTippy.hide();
 });

But of course this doesn’t work.

Would anyone know how I could access the tippy instance from within the my swiper?
