Install

Open your project and use the command line to install the package;

yarn add svelte-range-slider-pips --dev          # or
npm install svelte-range-slider-pips --save-dev  # if you prefer npm

Usage

Upgrading from v3 -> v4

Note: Please read the upgrade guide for details, as there's some changes which might break your styling/ui.

In a svelte 4/5 project

Assuming you have a Svelte app up and running;

<script>
  import RangeSlider from 'svelte-range-slider-pips';
</script>

<RangeSlider values={[50]} pips />

see test folder for examples of usage with Svelte 4
or Svelte 5

In a svelte 3 project

⚠ Version 3 of Range Slider Pips is not compatible with Svelte 3. see below

As a regular JS file

If you're not building a svelte-app, you can use the /dist/ version of the script /dist/svelte-range-slider-pips.js and include it with a regular <script> tag.
This should even work with jQuery.

<!-- in the <head> of your html -->
<script src="./js/vendor/svelte-range-slider-pips.js" />

<!-- in the <body> of your html -->
<div id="my-slider"></div>

<script>
  // this script will be run when the DOM is ready
  // and the slider is initialised
  document.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', () => {
    var mySlider = new RangeSliderPips({
      target: document.querySelector('#my-slider'),
      props: { values: [50], pips: true }
    });
  });
</script>

see examples of usage with Vanilla JS
or running with jQuery

As a JS module, or with Vue & React

If you're building a bleeding-edge JS application (maybe Vue or React), you might want to use js imports (import)

import RangeSlider from './node_modules/svelte-range-slider-pips/dist/svelte-range-slider-pips.mjs';

var mySlider = new RangeSlider({
  target: node, // js reference to a DOM element
  props: { values: [50], pips: true }
});

Props (options)

Slider props

prop	type	default	description
value	`Number`	`50`	Value to apply on the slider.
values	`Array`	`[50]`	Array of values to apply on the slider. Multiple values creates multiple handles. (note: A slider with `range` property set can only have two values max)
min	`Number`	`0`	Minimum value for the slider (should be `< max`)
max	`Number`	`100`	Maximum value for the slider (should be `> min`)
step	`Number`	`1`	Every `nth` value to allow handle to stop at (should be a positive value)
range	`Boolean`/`String`	`false`	Whether to style as a range picker. Use `range='min'` or `range='max'` for min/max variants
pushy	`Boolean`	`false`	If `range` is `true`, then this boolean decides if one handle will push the other along
draggy	`Boolean`	`false`	If `range` is `true`, enables dragging the range area between handles
rangeGapMin	`Number`	`0`	If `range` is `true`, sets the minimum allowed distance between handles
rangeGapMax	`Number`	`Infinity`	If `range` is `true`, sets the maximum allowed distance between handles
float	`Boolean`	`false`	Set true to add a floating label above focussed handles
rangeFloat	`Boolean`	`false`	If `range` is `true`, shows the range values between handles
vertical	`Boolean`	`false`	Make the slider render vertically (lower value on bottom)
pips	`Boolean`	`false`	Whether to show pips/notches on the slider
pipstep	`Number`	`1`/`10`/`20`	Every `nth` step to show a pip for. This has multiple defaults depending on `values` property
first	`Boolean`/`String`	`false`	Whether to show a pip or label for the first value on slider. Use `first='label'` to show a label value
last	`Boolean`/`String`	`false`	Whether to show a pip or label for the last value on slider. Use `last='label'` to show a label value
rest	`Boolean`/`String`	`false`	Whether to show a pip or label for all other values. Use `rest='label'` to show a label value
all	`Boolean`/`String`	`false`	Whether to show a pip or label for all values. Same as combining `first`, `last` and `rest`. Use `all='label'` to show a label value
prefix	`String`	`""`	A string to prefix to all displayed values
suffix	`String`	`""`	A string to suffix to all displayed values
limits	`Array`	`[0, 100]`	An array of two numbers to set a limit on the handles. This overrides `min` and `max` if set, while still using them for the range display.
reversed	`Boolean`	`false`	Reverse the orientation of min/max
hoverable	`Boolean`	`true`	Whether hover styles are enabled for both handles and pips/values
disabled	`Boolean`	`false`	Determine if the slider is disabled, or enabled (only disables interactions, and events)
id	`String`	`""`	Give the slider a unique ID for use in styling
class	`String`	`""`	Add custom CSS classes to the slider
style	`String`	`undefined`	Pass CSS variables or style declarations directly to the slider
ariaLabels	`Array`	`[]`	Array of strings to use for the `aria-label` attribute on the handles.
formatter	`Function`	`(v,i,p) => v`	A function to re-format values before they are displayed (`v = value, i = pip index, p = percent`)
handleFormatter	`Function`	`formatter`	A function to re-format values on the handle/float before they are displayed. Defaults to the same function given to the `formatter` property (`v = value, i = handle index, p = percent`)
rangeFormatter	`Function`	`null`	A function to re-format range float values (`v1 = first value, v2 = second value, p1 = first percent, p2 = second percent`)
spring	`Boolean`	`true`	Whether to enable spring animations on handles
springValues	`Object`	`{ stiffness: 0.15, damping: 0.4 }`	Svelte spring physics object to change the behaviour of the handle when moving
slider	`Element`	`undefined`	DOM reference for binding to the main `<div />` of the component (`bind:slider='ref'`)

Slider events (dispatched)

event	example	`event.detail`	description
start	`on:start={(e) => { ... }}`	`{ activeHandle: Integer, value: Float, values: Float[] }`	Event fired when the user begins interaction with the slider
change	`on:change={(e) => { ... }}`	`{ activeHandle: Integer, startValue: Float / Float[], previousValue: Float / Float[], value: Float, values: Float[] }`	Event fired when the user changes the value; returns the previous value, also
stop	`on:stop={(e) => { ... }}`	`{ activeHandle: Integer, startValue: Float / Float[], value: Float, values: Float[] }`	Event fired when the user stops interacting with slider; returns the beginning value, also

Styling

Styling should mostly be done with CSS.
There's a bunch of css variables for controlling the colors of the elements. And the slider is fluid horizontally, with the size of things controlled by font-size. So you may change the font-size on the .rangeSlider base element to change the scale of everything.

If you require more fine control of the widths, heights, etc, then you may override the default css. This can be easier by using the id prop to give your slider a unique id.

Values of labels can be styled with CSS, and the format can be modified with the formatter() function prop. And animation of the handles is controlled by the springValues object prop.

📔🔍 | Documentation for Styling

Note: In v4, most CSS class names have been prefixed with rs to prevent conflicts with generic CSS frameworks like DaisyUI or UnoCSS. See the upgrade guide for details.

Notes

Svelte 3

⚠ Because of new code added in Range Slider v3, it is incompatible with Svelte version 3.

If you are unable to upgrade your project to Svelte4/Svelte5, then I suggest looking for Svelte-Range-Slider-Pips version 2.3.1 which will not be upgraded, but it's still pretty robust. You can install it like so;

yarn add [email protected] --dev          # or
npm install [email protected] --save-dev  # if you prefer npm
