javascript - Hide additional variant thumbnails on select on Shopify product page

Question

I've build a colour swatch selector for my products on my Shopify store. The selector works perfectly except for one issue - I'm would like to hide other colour variant image thumbnails when one colour is selected.

Problem: The selector currently selects the images assigned to each product by the image's alt text - I am now uploading products by a different method that no longer allows me to manually assign image alt text to each image.

Solution: Adjust the selector to select images that are assigned to the product colour variant, not by image alt text. This way the images will only be visible to the colour variant that is selected.

Any help would be greatly appreciated; thank you.

_filterThumbnails: function(variant){
  
  if(variant.featured_image != null && variant.featured_image.alt != null){
    
    $('[data-thumbnail-color]').hide();
    
    //show thumbnails for selected color
    
    var selected_color = variant.featured_image.alt;
    var thumbnail_selector = '[data-thumbnail-color="' + selected_color + '"]';
    $(thumbnail_selector).show();
  }
  
  else {
   
    //show all thumbnails
    $('[data-thumbnail-color]').show();     
  }
  
},
