Description

The Slider component provides a visual indication of adjustable value. A value can be adjusted (increased or decreased) by moving the drag handle along a track (usually horizontal or vertical). Remember to inform users that they can also adjust the value directly in the value input field (if it exists).

Define a min and max value

Keep in mind, you should most probably define your min and max value, because they are tied closely to your given value property.

Demos

Default Slider

Code Editor
<Slider
  min={0}
  max={100}
  value={70}
  label="Default Slider"
  numberFormat={{
    currency: 'EUR',
  }}
  tooltip={true}
  onChange={({ value }) => console.log('onChange:', value)}
/>

Slider with multiple thumb buttons

Provide the value property as an array with numbers. The onChange event will then also return the property value as an array. The + and - buttons will not be visible when when more than one thumb button is present.

Code Editor
<Provider
  formElement={{
    label_direction: 'vertical',
  }}
>
  <Flex.Vertical align="stretch">
    <Slider
      min={0}
      max={100}
      value={[30, 70]}
      step={5}
      label="Range with steps"
      numberFormat={{
        currency: 'USD',
      }}
      tooltip
      onChange={({ value }) => console.log('onChange:', value)}
    />
    <Slider
      min={0}
      max={100}
      value={[10, 30, 50, 70]}
      label="Multi thumbs"
      numberFormat={(value) =>
        format(value, {
          percent: true,
          decimals: 0,
        })
      }
      tooltip
      onChange={({ value, number }) =>
        console.log('onChange:', value, number)
      }
    />
  </Flex.Vertical>
</Provider>

By default, the thumbs can swap positions. You can change that behavior with multiThumbBehavior.

Code Editor
<Provider
  formElement={{
    label_direction: 'vertical',
  }}
>
  <Flex.Vertical align="stretch">
    <Slider
      multiThumbBehavior="omit"
      value={[30, 70]}
      label="Omit behavior"
      numberFormat={{
        currency: 'EUR',
      }}
      tooltip={true}
      onChange={({ value }) => console.log('onChange:', value)}
    />
    <Slider
      multiThumbBehavior="push"
      min={-40}
      value={[-10, 50, 70]}
      step={1}
      label="Push behavior"
      numberFormat={{
        currency: true,
      }}
      tooltip={true}
      onChange={({ value, number }) =>
        console.log('onChange:', value, number)
      }
    />
  </Flex.Vertical>
</Provider>
