# Slider

An easily stylable range input.

```svelte
<script lang="ts">
	import { Slider } from '@sveltery/base/slider';
</script>

<Slider.Root defaultValue={25}>
	<Slider.Control class="flex w-56 touch-none items-center py-3 select-none">
		<Slider.Track class="h-1 w-full bg-neutral-200 select-none dark:bg-neutral-800">
			<Slider.Indicator class="bg-neutral-950 select-none dark:bg-white" />
			<Slider.Thumb
				aria-label="Volume"
				class="size-4 border border-neutral-950 bg-white select-none has-[:focus-visible]:outline-2 has-[:focus-visible]:outline-offset-2 has-[:focus-visible]:outline-neutral-950 dark:has-[:focus-visible]:outline-white dark:border-white dark:bg-neutral-950"
			/>
		</Slider.Track>
	</Slider.Control>
</Slider.Root>
```

## Usage guidelines

- **Form controls must have an accessible name**: Prefer `<Slider.Label>`, or provide an `aria-label` on each `<Slider.Thumb>` when no visible label is rendered. See [Labeling a slider](#labeling-a-slider) and the [forms guide](/handbook/forms).

## Anatomy

Import the component and assemble its parts:

```svelte title="Anatomy"
<script lang="ts">
	import { Slider } from '@sveltery/base/slider';
</script>

<Slider.Root>
	<Slider.Label />
	<Slider.Value />
	<Slider.Control>
		<Slider.Track>
			<Slider.Indicator />
			<Slider.Thumb />
		</Slider.Track>
	</Slider.Control>
</Slider.Root>
```

## Examples

### Labeling a slider

A single-thumb slider without a visible label (such as a volume control) can be labeled using `aria-label` on `<Slider.Thumb>`:

```svelte title="Slider with invisible label"
<Slider.Root>
	<Slider.Control>
		<Slider.Track>
			<Slider.Indicator />
			<Slider.Thumb aria-label="Volume" />
		</Slider.Track>
	</Slider.Control>
</Slider.Root>
```

A visible label can be created using `<Slider.Label>`:

```svelte title="Slider with visible label"
<Slider.Root>
	<Slider.Label>Volume</Slider.Label>
	<Slider.Control>
		<Slider.Track>
			<Slider.Indicator />
			<Slider.Thumb />
		</Slider.Track>
	</Slider.Control>
</Slider.Root>
```

For a multi-thumb range slider with a visible label, add `aria-label` on each `<Slider.Thumb>` to distinguish them:

```svelte title="Labeling multi-thumb range sliders"
<Slider.Root defaultValue={[25, 75]}>
	<Slider.Label>Price range</Slider.Label>
	<Slider.Control>
		<Slider.Track>
			<Slider.Indicator />
			<Slider.Thumb index={0} aria-label="Minimum price" />
			<Slider.Thumb index={1} aria-label="Maximum price" />
		</Slider.Track>
	</Slider.Control>
</Slider.Root>
```

### Range slider

To create a range slider:

1. Pass an array of values and place a `<Slider.Thumb>` for each value in the array
2. Additionally for server-side rendering, specify a numeric `index` for each thumb that corresponds to the index of its value in the value array

Thumbs can be configured to behave differently when they collide during pointer interactions using the `thumbCollisionBehavior` prop on `<Slider.Root>`.

```svelte
<script lang="ts">
	import { Slider } from '@sveltery/base/slider';
</script>

<Slider.Root defaultValue={[25, 45]}>
	<Slider.Control class="flex w-56 touch-none items-center py-3 select-none">
		<Slider.Track class="h-1 w-full bg-neutral-200 select-none dark:bg-neutral-800">
			<Slider.Indicator class="bg-neutral-950 select-none dark:bg-white" />
			<Slider.Thumb
				index={0}
				aria-label="Minimum value"
				class="size-4 border border-neutral-950 bg-white select-none has-[:focus-visible]:outline-2 has-[:focus-visible]:outline-offset-2 has-[:focus-visible]:outline-neutral-950 dark:has-[:focus-visible]:outline-white dark:border-white dark:bg-neutral-950"
			/>
			<Slider.Thumb
				index={1}
				aria-label="Maximum value"
				class="size-4 border border-neutral-950 bg-white select-none has-[:focus-visible]:outline-2 has-[:focus-visible]:outline-offset-2 has-[:focus-visible]:outline-neutral-950 dark:has-[:focus-visible]:outline-white dark:border-white dark:bg-neutral-950"
			/>
		</Slider.Track>
	</Slider.Control>
</Slider.Root>
```

### Steps

Use the `step` prop to snap the value to multiples of a given increment, and `largeStep` to control the increment when using Page Up/Page Down or Shift + Arrow Up/Arrow Down.

```svelte
<script lang="ts">
	import { Slider } from '@sveltery/base/slider';
</script>

<Slider.Root
	class="grid w-56 grid-cols-2"
	defaultValue={400}
	min={100}
	max={900}
	step={100}
	largeStep={200}
>
	<Slider.Label class="cursor-default text-sm text-neutral-950 dark:text-white">
		Playback speed
	</Slider.Label>
	<Slider.Value class="text-end text-sm text-neutral-950 dark:text-white" />
	<Slider.Control class="col-span-2 flex touch-none items-center py-3 select-none">
		<Slider.Track class="h-1 w-full bg-neutral-200 select-none dark:bg-neutral-800">
			<Slider.Indicator class="bg-neutral-950 select-none dark:bg-white" />
			<Slider.Thumb
				class="size-4 border border-neutral-950 bg-white select-none has-[:focus-visible]:outline-2 has-[:focus-visible]:outline-offset-2 has-[:focus-visible]:outline-neutral-950 dark:has-[:focus-visible]:outline-white dark:border-white dark:bg-neutral-950"
			/>
		</Slider.Track>
	</Slider.Control>
</Slider.Root>
```

### Marks

Render your own tick marks, positioning each mark along the track as a percentage of the value range.

```svelte
<script lang="ts">
	import { Slider } from '@sveltery/base/slider';

	const MIN = 0;
	const MAX = 100;
	const MARKS = [0, 25, 50, 75, 100];

	function valueToPercent(value: number) {
		return ((value - MIN) / (MAX - MIN)) * 100;
	}
</script>

<Slider.Root class="w-56" defaultValue={40} min={MIN} max={MAX}>
	<Slider.Control class="flex touch-none items-center py-2.5 select-none">
		<Slider.Track class="h-1 w-full bg-neutral-200 select-none dark:bg-neutral-800">
			<Slider.Indicator class="bg-neutral-950 select-none dark:bg-white" />
			{#each MARKS as mark (mark)}
				<div
					aria-hidden="true"
					class="absolute top-1/2 h-2 w-px -translate-x-1/2 -translate-y-1/2 bg-neutral-950 dark:bg-white"
					style:left="{valueToPercent(mark)}%"
				></div>
			{/each}
			<Slider.Thumb
				aria-label="Volume"
				class="size-4 border border-neutral-950 bg-white select-none has-[:focus-visible]:outline-2 has-[:focus-visible]:outline-offset-2 has-[:focus-visible]:outline-neutral-950 dark:has-[:focus-visible]:outline-white dark:border-white dark:bg-neutral-950"
			/>
		</Slider.Track>
	</Slider.Control>
	<div class="relative h-4 select-none" aria-hidden="true">
		{#each MARKS as mark (mark)}
			<span
				class="absolute -translate-x-1/2 text-xs whitespace-nowrap text-neutral-600 dark:text-neutral-400"
				style:left="{valueToPercent(mark)}%"
			>
				{mark}
			</span>
		{/each}
	</div>
</Slider.Root>
```

Marks are independent of the value's granularity—pair them with the [`step`](#steps) prop to snap the thumb to each mark.

### Thumb alignment

Set `thumbAlignment="edge"` to inset the thumb such that its edge aligns with the edge of the control when the value is at `min` or `max`, without overflowing the control like the default `"center"` alignment.

A client-only alternative `thumbAlignment="edge-client-only"` can be used to reduce bundle size but only renders after Svelte hydration.

```svelte
<script lang="ts">
	import { Slider } from '@sveltery/base/slider';
</script>

<Slider.Root thumbAlignment="edge" defaultValue={25}>
	<Slider.Control class="flex w-56 touch-none items-center py-3 select-none">
		<Slider.Track class="h-1 w-full bg-neutral-200 select-none dark:bg-neutral-800">
			<Slider.Indicator class="bg-neutral-950 select-none dark:bg-white" />
			<Slider.Thumb
				aria-label="Volume"
				class="size-4 border border-neutral-950 bg-white select-none has-[:focus-visible]:outline-2 has-[:focus-visible]:outline-offset-2 has-[:focus-visible]:outline-neutral-950 dark:has-[:focus-visible]:outline-white dark:border-white dark:bg-neutral-950"
			/>
		</Slider.Track>
	</Slider.Control>
</Slider.Root>
```

### Vertical

Set `orientation="vertical"` on `<Slider.Root>` to build a vertical slider.

```svelte
<script lang="ts">
	import { Slider } from '@sveltery/base/slider';
</script>

<Slider.Root orientation="vertical" defaultValue={35}>
	<Slider.Control
		class="flex touch-none select-none data-[orientation=vertical]:h-32 data-[orientation=vertical]:px-3"
	>
		<Slider.Track
			class="bg-neutral-200 select-none dark:bg-neutral-800 data-[orientation=vertical]:h-full data-[orientation=vertical]:w-1"
		>
			<Slider.Indicator class="bg-neutral-950 select-none dark:bg-white" />
			<Slider.Thumb
				aria-label="Volume"
				class="size-4 border border-neutral-950 bg-white select-none has-[:focus-visible]:outline-2 has-[:focus-visible]:outline-offset-2 has-[:focus-visible]:outline-neutral-950 dark:has-[:focus-visible]:outline-white dark:border-white dark:bg-neutral-950"
			/>
		</Slider.Track>
	</Slider.Control>
</Slider.Root>
```

### Form integration

To use a slider in a form, pass the slider `name` to `<Slider.Root>`:

```svelte title="Using Slider in a form"
<Form>
	<Slider.Root name="volume">
		<Slider.Label>Volume</Slider.Label>
		<Slider.Control>
			<Slider.Track>
				<Slider.Indicator />
				<Slider.Thumb />
			</Slider.Track>
		</Slider.Control>
	</Slider.Root>
</Form>
```

For grouped multi-thumb range sliders in forms, [Fieldset](/components/fieldset) can provide the shared visible label while each thumb keeps its own `aria-label`:

```svelte title="Using Fieldset with a multi-thumb slider"
<Field.Root>
	<Fieldset.Root>
		{#snippet render(props, state, children)}
			<Slider.Root {...props} defaultValue={[25, 75]}>
				{@render children?.()}
			</Slider.Root>
		{/snippet}
		<Fieldset.Legend>Price range</Fieldset.Legend>
		<Slider.Control>
			<Slider.Track>
				<Slider.Indicator />
				<Slider.Thumb index={0} aria-label="Minimum price" />
				<Slider.Thumb index={1} aria-label="Maximum price" />
			</Slider.Track>
		</Slider.Control>
	</Fieldset.Root>
</Field.Root>
```

## API reference

| disabled | `boolean \| null` | `false` | Whether the slider should ignore user interaction. |
| format | `Intl.NumberFormatOptions` | - | Options to format the value. |
| locale | `Intl.LocalesArgument` | - | The locale used by `Intl.NumberFormat` when formatting the value. Defaults to the user's runtime locale. |
| max | `number` | `100` | The maximum allowed value of the slider. Should not be equal to min. |
| min | `number` | `0` | The minimum allowed value of the slider. Should not be equal to max. |
