Customize slider bar in Vue Range slider component

23 Dec 202419 minutes to read

The slider’s appearance can be customized through CSS. By overriding the slider’s CSS classes, you can customize the slider bar. The slider bar can be customized with different themes. By default, the slider has a class name e-slider-track for the bar. The class can be overridden with our own color values, as shown in the following code snippet:

.e-control.e-slider .e-slider-track .e-range {
    background: linear-gradient(left, #e1451d 0, #fdff47 17%, #86f9fe 50%, #2900f8 65%, #6e00f8 74%, #e33df9 83%, #e14423 100%);
}

You can also apply a background color for a certain range depending on the slider values by using the change event.

  onChange(args){
           let sliderTrack = document.getElementById('dynamic_color_slider').querySelector('.e-range');
           let sliderHandle = document.getElementById('dynamic_color_slider').querySelector('.e-handle');
            if (args.value > 0 && args.value <= 25) {
                // Change handle and range bar color to green when value is between 0 and 25.
                (sliderHandle).style.backgroundColor = 'green';
                (sliderTrack).style.backgroundColor = 'green';
            } else if (args.value > 25 && args.value <= 50) {
                // Change handle and range bar color to royal blue
                (sliderHandle).style.backgroundColor = 'royalblue';
                (sliderTrack).style.backgroundColor = 'royalblue';
            } else if (args.value > 50 && args.value <= 75) {
                // Change handle and range bar color to dark orange
                (sliderHandle).style.backgroundColor = 'darkorange';
                (sliderTrack).style.backgroundColor = 'darkorange';
            } else if (args.value > 75 && args.value <= 100) {
                // Change handle and range bar color to red
                (sliderHandle).style.backgroundColor = 'red';
                (sliderTrack).style.backgroundColor = 'red';
            }
    }
