Getting started with React Range Slider component

22 Oct 2021 / 5 minutes to read

The following section explains the required steps to build the simple Slider component with its basic usage in step by step procedure.

Dependencies

Install the below required dependent packages to render the Slider component.

|-- @syncfusion/ej2-react-inputs
    |-- @syncfusion/ej2-react-base
    |-- @syncfusion/ej2-react-popups
    |-- @syncfusion/ej2-react-buttons
    |-- @syncfusion/ej2-inputs
        |-- @syncfusion/ej2-base
        |-- @syncfusion/ej2-popups
        |-- @syncfusion/ej2-buttons

Installation and Configuration

You can use create-react-app to setup the applications.

To install create-react-app run the following command.

npm install -g create-react-app

Start a new project using create-react-app command as follows

create-react-app quickstart --typescript

cd quickstart

Adding Syncfusion packages

All the available Essential JS 2 packages are published in npmjs.com public registry. Now, we are going to render Slider component from these packages.

To install Slider component, use the following command.

npm install @syncfusion/ej2-react-inputs --save

The above command installs Slider dependencies which are required to render the component in the React environment.

Adding Slider component

Now, you can add Slider component in the application. For getting started, add Slider component in src/App.tsx file using the following code snippet.

import * as React from 'react';
import { SliderComponent } from '@syncfusion/ej2-react-inputs';
import './App.css';

export default class App extends React.Component<{}, {}> {
  render() {
    return (
        <div id='container'>
            <div className='wrap'>
                <SliderComponent id='slider' value={30} />
            </div>
        </div>
    );
  }
}

Adding CSS Reference

Import Slider component required theme references at the top of src/App.css.

@import "../node_modules/@syncfusion/ej2-base/styles/material.css";
@import "../node_modules/@syncfusion/ej2-buttons/styles/material.css";
@import "../node_modules/@syncfusion/ej2-popups/styles/material.css";
@import "../node_modules/@syncfusion/ej2-react-inputs/styles/material.css";

We can also use CRG to generate combined component styles.

Run the Application

The Essential JS 2 quickstart application project is configured to compile and run the application in browser. Use the following command to run the application.

npm start

Types

The types of Slider are as follows:

Types	Usage
Default	Shows a default Slider to select a single value.
MinRange	Displays the shadow from the start value to the current selected value.
Range	Selects a range of values. It also displays the shadow in-between the selection range.

Both the Default Slider and Min-Range Slider have same behavior that is used to select a single value. In Min-Range Slider, a shadow is considered from the start value to current handle position. But the Range Slider contains two handles that is used to select a range of values and a shadow is considered in between the two handles.

The Slider displays the tooltip to indicate the current value by clicking the Slider bar or drag the Slider handle. The Tooltip position can be customized by using the placement property. Also decides the tooltip display mode on a page, i.e., on hovering, focusing, or clicking on the Slider handle and it always remains/displays on the page.

Buttons

The Slider value can be changed by using the Increase and Decrease buttons. In Range Slider, by default the first handle value will be changed while clicking the button. Change the handle focus and press the button to change the last focused handle value.

After enabling the slider buttons if the ‘Tab’ key is pressed, the focus goes to the handle and not to the button.
