Date range Slider in React Range Slider component

28 Feb 20257 minutes to read

Date formatting can be achieved in ticks and tooltip using renderingTicks and tooltipChange events respectively. The process of formatting is demonstrated in the example below.

import * as React from 'react';
import * as ReactDOM from "react-dom";
import { SliderComponent } from '@syncfusion/ej2-react-inputs';
function App() {
  let min = new Date("2013-06-13").getTime();
  let max = new Date("2013-06-21").getTime();
  let step = 86400000;
  let value = new Date("2013-06-15").getTime();
  // Slider ticks customization
  let ticks = { placement: "After", largeStep: 2 * 86400000 };
  let tooltip = { placement: "Before", isVisible: true };
  function renderingTicksHandler(args) {
    let totalMiliSeconds = Number(args.value);
    // Converting the current milliseconds to the respective date in desired format
    let custom = { year: "numeric", month: "short", day: "numeric" };
    args.text = new Date(totalMiliSeconds).toLocaleDateString("en-us", custom);
  }
  function tooltipChangeHandler(args) {
    let totalMiliSeconds = Number(args.text);
    // Converting the current milliseconds to the respective date in desired format
    let custom = { year: "numeric", month: "short", day: "numeric" };
    args.text = new Date(totalMiliSeconds).toLocaleDateString("en-us", custom);
  }
  return (<div id="container">
    <div className="wrap">
      <SliderComponent id="slider" min={min} max={max} value={value} step={step} tooltip={tooltip} ticks={ticks} showButtons={true} tooltipChange={tooltipChangeHandler.bind(this)} renderingTicks={renderingTicksHandler.bind(this)} />
    </div>
  </div>);
}
export default App;
ReactDOM.render(<App />, document.getElementById('element'));
import * as React from 'react';

import { SliderComponent } from '@syncfusion/ej2-react-inputs';

function App() {
  let min = new Date("2013-06-13").getTime();
  let max = new Date("2013-06-21").getTime();
  let step = 86400000;
  let value = new Date("2013-06-15").getTime();

  // Slider ticks customization
  let ticks: TicksDataModel = { placement: "After", largeStep: 2 * 86400000 };
  let tooltip: TooltipDataModel = { placement: "Before", isVisible: true };

  function renderingTicksHandler(args: SliderTickEventArgs) {
    let totalMiliSeconds = Number(args.value);
    // Converting the current milliseconds to the respective date in desired format
    let custom = { year: "numeric", month: "short", day: "numeric" };
    args.text = new Date(totalMiliSeconds).toLocaleDateString("en-us", custom);
  }

  function tooltipChangeHandler(args: SliderTooltipEventArgs) {
    let totalMiliSeconds = Number(args.text);
    // Converting the current milliseconds to the respective date in desired format
    let custom = { year: "numeric", month: "short", day: "numeric" };
    args.text = new Date(totalMiliSeconds).toLocaleDateString("en-us", custom);
  }
  return (
    <div id="container">
      <div className="wrap">
        <SliderComponent
          id="slider"
