Slider

Slider is a component to provide input with a drag handle.


import { Slider } from 'primereact/slider';
         

Slider is used as a controlled input with value and onChange properties.


<Slider value={value} onChange={(e) => setValue(e.value)} />
         

Slider is connected to an input field using two-way binding.


<InputText value={value} onChange={(e) => setValue(e.target.value)} />
<Slider value={value} onChange={(e) => setValue(e.value)} />
         

Size of each movement is defined with the step property.


<Slider value={value} onChange={(e) => setValue(e.value)} step={20} />
         

When range property is present, slider provides two handles to define two values. In range mode, value should be an array instead of a single value.


<Slider value={value} onChange={(e) => setValue(e.value)} range />
         

Default layout of slider is horizontal, use orientation property for the alternative vertical mode.


<Slider value={value} onChange={(e) => setValue(e.value)} orientation="vertical" />
