Slider

Sliders allow users to make selections from a range of values.

Sliders reflect a range of values along a bar, from which users may select a single value. They are ideal for adjusting settings such as volume, brightness, or applying image filters.

Continuous sliders

Continuous sliders allow users to select a value along a subjective range.

Sizes

For smaller slider, use the prop size="small".

Discrete sliders

Discrete sliders can be adjusted to a specific value by referencing its value indicator. You can generate a mark for each step with marks={true}.

Small steps

You can change the default step increment. Make sure to adjust the shiftStep prop (the granularity with which the slider can step when using Page Up/Down or Shift + Arrow Up/Down) to a value divadable with the step.

Custom marks

You can have custom marks by providing a rich array to the marks prop.

Restricted values

You can restrict the selectable values to those provided with the marks prop with step={null}.

Label always visible

You can force the thumb label to be always visible with valueLabelDisplay="on".

Range slider

The slider can be used to set the start and end of a range by supplying an array of values to the value prop.

Minimum distance

You can enforce a minimum distance between values in the onChange event handler. By default, when you move the pointer over a thumb while dragging another thumb, the active thumb will swap to the hovered thumb. You can disable this behavior with the disableSwap prop. If you want the range to shift when reaching minimum distance, you can utilize the activeThumb parameter in onChange.

Slider with input field

In this example, an input allows a discrete value to be set.

Customization

Here are some examples of customizing the component. You can learn more about this in the overrides documentation page.

Music player

Vertical sliders

Set the orientation prop to "vertical" to create vertical sliders. The thumb will track vertical movement instead of horizontal movement.

Marks placement

You can customize your slider by adding and repositioning marks for minimum and maximum values.

Track

The track shows the range available for user selection.

Removed track

The track can be turned off with track={false}.

Inverted track

The track can be inverted with track="inverted".

Non-linear scale

You can use the scale prop to represent the value on a different scale.

In the following demo, the value x represents the value 2^x. Increasing x by one increases the represented value by factor 2.

Accessibility

(WAI-ARIA: https://www.w3.org/WAI/ARIA/apg/patterns/slider-multithumb/)

The component handles most of the work necessary to make it accessible. However, you need to make sure that:

• Each thumb has a user-friendly label (aria-label, aria-labelledby or getAriaLabel prop).
• Each thumb has a user-friendly text for its current value. This is not required if the value matches the semantics of the label. You can change the name with the getAriaValueText or aria-valuetext prop.

Unstyled

Use the Base UI Slider for complete ownership of the component's design, with no Material UI or Joy UI styles to override. This unstyled version of the component is the ideal choice for heavy customization with a smaller bundle size.
