install

Open your project and use the command line to install the package;

yarn add svelte-range-slider-pips --dev          # or
npm install svelte-range-slider-pips --save-dev  # if you prefer npm

usage

in a svelte project

Assuming you have a Svelte app up and running;

<script>
  import RangeSlider from "svelte-range-slider-pips";
</script>

<RangeSlider values={[50]} pips />

as a regular JS file

If you're not building a svelte-app, you can use the /dist/ version of the script /dist/svelte-range-slider-pips.js and include it with a regular <script> tag. This should even work with jQuery.

<script src="./js/vendor/svelte-range-slider-pips.js" />

<div id="my-slider"></div>

<script>
  var mySlider = new RangeSliderPips({
    target: document.querySelector("#my-slider"),
    props: { values: [50], pips: true }
  });
</script>

as a JS module

If you're building a bleeding-edge JS application (maybe Vue or React), you might want to use js imports (import)

import RangeSlider from "./node_modules/svelte-range-slider-pips/dist/svelte-range-slider-pips.mjs";

var mySlider = new RangeSlider({
  target: node, // js reference to a DOM element
  props: { values: [50], pips: true }
});

props (options)

slider props

prop	type	default	description
values	Array	[50]	Array of values to apply on the slider. Multiple values creates multiple handles. (note: A slider with range property set can only have two values max)
min	Number	0	Minimum value for the slider (should be < max)
max	Number	100	Maximum value for the slider (should be > min)
step	Number	1	Every nth value to allow handle to stop at (should be a positive value)
range	Boolean/String	false	Whether to style as a range picker. Use range='min' or range='max' for min/max variants
pushy	Boolean	false	If range is true, then this boolean decides if one handle will push the other along
float	Boolean	false	Set true to add a floating label above focussed handles
vertical	Boolean	false	Make the slider render vertically (lower value on bottom)
pips	Boolean	false	Whether to show pips/notches on the slider
pipstep	Number	1/10/20	Every nth step to show a pip for. This has multiple defaults depending on values property
first	Boolean/String	false	Whether to show a pip or label for the first value on slider. Use first='label' to show a label value
last	Boolean/String	false	Whether to show a pip or label for the last value on slider. Use last='label' to show a label value
rest	Boolean/String	false	Whether to show a pip or label for all other values. Use rest='label' to show a label value
all	Boolean/String	false	Whether to show a pip or label for all values. Same as combining first, last and rest. Use all='label' to show a label value
prefix	String	""	A string to prefix to all displayed values
suffix	String	""	A string to suffix to all displayed values
reversed	Boolean	false	Reverse the orientation of min/max
hoverable	Boolean	true	Whether hover styles are enabled for both handles and pips/values
disabled	Boolean	false	Determine if the slider is disabled, or enabled (only disables interactions, and events)
id	String	""	Give the slider a unique ID for use in styling
ariaLabels	Array	[]	Array of strings to use for the aria-label attribute on the handles.
formatter	Function	(v,i,p) => v	A function to re-format values before they are displayed (v = value, i = pip index, p = percent)
handleFormatter	Function	formatter	A function to re-format values on the handle/float before they are displayed. Defaults to the same function given to the formatter property (v = value, i = handle index, p = percent)
springValues	Object	{ stiffness: 0.15, damping: 0.4 }	Svelte spring physics object to change the behaviour of the handle when moving
slider	Element	undefined	DOM reference for binding to the main <div /> of the component (bind:slider='ref')

slider events (dispatched)

event	example	event.detail	description
start	on:start={(e) => { ... }}	{ activeHandle: Integer, value: Float, values: Array }	Event fired when the user begins interaction with the slider
change	on:change={(e) => { ... }}	{ activeHandle: Integer, startValue: Float, previousValue: Float, value: Float, values: Array }	Event fired when the user changes the value; returns the previous value, also
stop	on:stop={(e) => { ... }}	{ activeHandle: Integer, startValue: Float, value: Float, values: Array }	Event fired when the user stops interacting with slider; returns the beginning value, also

styling

Styling should mostly be done with CSS.
There's a bunch of css variables for controlling the colors of the elements. And the slider is fluid horizontally, with the size of things controlled by font-size. So you may change the font-size on the .rangeSlider base element to change the scale of everything.

If you require more fine control of the widths, heights, etc, then you may override the default css. This can be easier by using the id prop to give your slider a unique id.

Values of labels can be styled with CSS, and the format can be modified with the formatter() function prop. And animation of the handles is controlled by the springValues object prop.
