I've a weird behaviour going on here. I've built a custom card carousel component as below :
<c:carouselComponent aura:id="carousel"
iconName="standard:carousel"
title="Cards"
showTotal="true">
<aura:iteration aura:id="iterator" items="!v.data" var="content">
<c:carouselCardComponent
title="!content.title"
imageSrc="!content.thumbnail"
>
</c:carouselCardComponent>
</aura:iteration>
</c:carouselComponent>
And this is what happens from c:carouselComponent controller in init handler :
onInit: function(component, event, helper) {
var body = component.get('v.body');
var cards = ;
body.forEach(function(el)
if (el.getLocalId() === 'iterator')
console.log(el.get('v.body'));
var children = el.get('v.body');
cards = children;
else
cards.push(el);
);
...
Nothing is actually showing in the carousel because the carouselComponent body seems to be empty after it's rendered : console.log(el.get('v.body')) returns an empty array.
But when i visualize the el object directly from Chrome Console, el.get('v.body') is not an empty array but it contains all the objects created by the aura:iteration component .
What is actually happenning? i think i'm missing something and i don't know how to figure it out.
Thank you for any idea!

aura:valueInit is always the first event fired in the rendering life cycle for new components, before anything else happens, including rendering anything inside aura:iteration. You'd have to wait until at least the first rendering cycle completes. You should be able to simply do something like the following:
setTimeout(
$A.getCallback(
function()
helper.postRenderHandler(component, event, helper);
)
);
You might also get away with registering an aura:valueChange handler on the body attribute, but you'll have to be careful to avoid infinite recursion.

The article you linked to explains how to run code after the rendering is completed. Is there a reason you recommendsetTimeoutinstead of handling the render event as stated in the article?

@gNerb because it requires a full render cycle. The components will not exist any time during the first render cycle. This is a pecularity of aura:iteration, which performs its own rendering later.
