The default value. Use when the component is not controlled.

disabledboolfalse

If true, the component is disabled.

disableSwapboolfalse

If true, the active thumb doesn't swap when moving pointer over a thumb while dragging another thumb.

getAriaLabelfunc-

Accepts a function which returns a string value that provides a user-friendly name for the thumb labels of the slider. This is important for screen reader users.

Signature:function(index: number) => string
  • index The thumb label's index to format.
getAriaValueTextfunc-

Accepts a function which returns a string value that provides a user-friendly name for the current value of the slider. This is important for screen reader users.

Signature:function(value: number, index: number) => string
  • value The thumb label's value to format.
  • index The thumb label's index to format.
isRtlboolfalse

If true the Slider will be rendered right-to-left (with the lowest value on the right-hand side).

marksArray<{ label?: node, value: number }>
| bool
false

Marks indicate predetermined values to which the user can move the slider. If true the marks are spaced according the value of the step prop. If an array, it should contain objects with value and an optional label keys.

maxnumber100

The maximum allowed value of the slider. Should not be equal to min.

minnumber0

The minimum allowed value of the slider. Should not be equal to max.

namestring-

Name attribute of the hidden input element.

onChangefunc-

Callback function that is fired when the slider's value changed.

Signature:function(event: Event, value: number | Array, activeThumb: number) => void
  • event The event source of the callback. You can pull out the new value by accessing event.target.value (any). Warning: This is a generic event not a change event.
  • value The new value.
  • activeThumb Index of the currently moved thumb.
onChangeCommittedfunc-

Callback function that is fired when the mouseup is triggered.

Signature:function(event: React.SyntheticEvent | Event, value: number | Array) => void

orientation'horizontal'
| 'vertical'
'horizontal'

The component orientation.

scalefuncfunction Identity(x) { return x; }

A transformation function, to change the scale of the slider.

Signature:function(x: any) => any
    shiftStepnumber10

    The granularity with which the slider can step through values when using Page Up/Page Down or Shift + Arrow Up/Arrow Down.

    slotProps{ input?: func
    | object, mark?: func
    | object, markLabel?: func
    | object, rail?: func
    | object, root?: func
    | object, thumb?: func
    | object, track?: func
    | object, valueLabel?: any
    | func }
    {}

    The props used for each slot inside the Slider.

    slots{ input?: elementType, mark?: elementType, markLabel?: elementType, rail?: elementType, root?: elementType, thumb?: elementType, track?: elementType, valueLabel?: elementType }{}

    The components used for each slot inside the Slider. Either a string to use a HTML element or a component.

    See Slots API below for more details.

    stepnumber1

    The granularity with which the slider can step through values. (A "discrete" slider.) The min prop serves as the origin for the valid values. We recommend (max - min) to be evenly divisible by the step.
    When step is null, the thumb can only be slid onto marks provided with the marks prop.

    tabIndexnumber-

    Tab index attribute of the hidden input element.

    track'inverted'
    | 'normal'
    | false
    'normal'

    The track presentation:

    • normal the track will render a bar representing the slider value.
    • inverted the track will render a bar representing the remaining slider value.
    • false the track will render without a bar.
    valueArray<number>
    | number
    -

    The value of the slider. For ranged sliders, provide an array with two values.

    valueLabelFormatfunc
    | string
    function Identity(x) { return x; }

    The format function the value label's value.
    When a function is provided, it should have the following signature:
    - {number} value The value label's value to format - {number} index The value label's index to format


    The ref is forwarded to the root element.
