What are rc-slider's main functionalities?
Basic Slider
This code sample demonstrates how to create a basic horizontal slider with a default value set to 30.
import React from 'react';
import Slider from 'rc-slider';
import 'rc-slider/assets/index.css';
const BasicSlider = () => (
<Slider defaultValue={30} />
);
export default BasicSlider;
Range Slider
This code sample shows how to create a range slider that allows users to select a value range. The default selected range is from 20 to 50.
import React from 'react';
import { Range } from 'rc-slider';
import 'rc-slider/assets/index.css';
const RangeSlider = () => (
<Range defaultValue={[20, 50]} />
);
export default RangeSlider;
Slider with Marks
This code sample illustrates a slider with marks at specified values. It also shows how to style individual marks and use React components as labels.
import React from 'react';
import Slider from 'rc-slider';
import 'rc-slider/assets/index.css';
const marks = {
0: '0°C',
26: '26°C',
37: '37°C',
100: {
style: {
color: 'red',
},
label: <strong>100°C</strong>,
},
};
const MarkedSlider = () => (
<Slider marks={marks} defaultValue={37} step={null} />
);
export default MarkedSlider;
Vertical Slider
This code sample demonstrates how to create a vertical slider by setting the 'vertical' prop. The slider is contained within a div that specifies its height.
import React from 'react';
import Slider from 'rc-slider';
import 'rc-slider/assets/index.css';
const VerticalSlider = () => (
<div style={{ height: 200, marginLeft: 50 }}>
<Slider vertical defaultValue={30} />
</div>
);
