Slider

<ui5-slider> | Since 1.0.0-rc.11

The Slider component represents a numerical range and a handle (grip). The purpose of the component is to enable visual selection of a value in a continuous numerical range by moving an adjustable handle.

Structure

The most important properties of the Slider are:

  • min - The minimum value of the slider range.
  • max - The maximum value of the slider range.
  • value - The current value of the slider range.
  • step - Determines the increments in which the slider will move.
  • showTooltip - Determines if a tooltip should be displayed above the handle.
  • showTickmarks - Displays a visual divider between the step values.
  • labelInterval - Labels some or all of the tickmarks with their values.

Usage

The most common use case is to select values on a continuous numerical scale (e.g. temperature, volume, etc. ).

Responsive Behavior

The ui5-slider component adjusts to the size of its parent container by recalculating and resizing the width of the control. You can move the slider handle in several different ways:

  • Drag and drop the handle to the desired value.
  • Click/tap on the range bar to move the handle to that location.

Keyboard Handling

  • Left or Down Arrow - Moves the handle one step to the left, effectively decreasing the component's value by step amount;
  • Right or Up Arrow - Moves the handle one step to the right, effectively increasing the component's value by step amount;
  • Left or Down Arrow + Ctrl/Cmd - Moves the handle to the left with step equal to 1/10th of the entire range, effectively decreasing the component's value by 1/10th of the range;
  • Right or Up Arrow + Ctrl/Cmd - Moves the handle to the right with step equal to 1/10th of the entire range, effectively increasing the component's value by 1/10th of the range;
  • Plus - Same as Right or Up Arrow;
  • Minus - Same as Left or Down Arrow;
  • Home - Moves the handle to the beginning of the range;
  • End - Moves the handle to the end of the range;
  • Page Up - Same as Right or Up + Ctrl/Cmd;
  • Page Down - Same as Left or Down + Ctrl/Cmd;
  • Escape - Resets the value property after interaction, to the position prior the component's focusing;
