Examples
Basic style customization
You are free to customize the range slider as much as you wish, using only CSS.
The width (for horizontal) or height (for vertical) of the slider, depends on the container in which it's placed and take 100%.
Play around with the background-color
of .range-bar
and .range-quantity
, add a background-image
to .range-handle
, add some nice background-image
to .range-min
and .range-max
, get use of the hideRange
option and you may end up with something as fun as this:
The sky is the limit.
Hint: Use the klass
option to add an additional class to the slider and apply different style to it
Minimum, maximum and start values
Changing your default min
, max
and start
values is pretty easy. The start value has to be a number in your min-max interval, otherwise it takes the value of either min
or max
, depending on which is closer. Negative values are supported as well.
var init = new Powerange(elem, { min: 16, max: 256, start: 128 });
Decimal
Display decimal number with 2 characters after the decimal point.
var init = new Powerange(elem, { decimal: true });
Slider step
You can change the step with which the handle moves, using the step
option.
var init = new Powerange(elem, { step: 10 });
Hide range values
You can hide the min and max values, by using the hideRange
option.
var init = new Powerange(elem, { hideRange: true });
Disabled
Disable the range slider and change it's default disabledOpacity
if needeed.
var init = new Powerange(elem, { disable: true, disabledOpacity: 0.75 });
You can still give it a value, by changing the start
option.
Horizontal and vertical slider
The default Powerange slider is horizontal. However, you can make it vertical, by setting vertical: true
.
var init = new Powerange(elem, { vertical: true });
Checking value
Check the current value of the range slider, by looking at the value of the text input element.
On click:
var clickInput = document.querySelector('.js-check-click') , clickButton = document.querySelector('.js-check-click-button'); clickButton.addEventListener('click', function() { alert(clickInput.value); });
On change:
var changeInput = document.querySelector('.js-check-change'); changeInput.onchange = function() { alert(changeInput.value); };
Callback
The callback function is invoked on slider initialization and on slider handle movement. It's very appropriate for displaying the current value in another element.
var elem = document.querySelector('.js-range'); var init = new Powerange(elem, { callback: displayValue }); function displayValue() { document.getElementById('display-box').innerHTML = elem.value; }
Interacting with another elements
Just a simple example of how you can interact with an element, when changing the slider value.
var elem = document.querySelector('.js-range'); var init = new Powerange(elem, { callback: setOpacity, decimal: true, min: 0, max: 1 }); function setOpacity() { document.querySelector('.target').style.opacity = elem.value; }
Development
If you've decided to go in development mode and tweak this module, there are few things you should do.
Make your own build files, by using Grunt command:
$ grunt build
Add the following code before the initialization:
var Powerange = require('powerange');
Make sure you're using the build/build.js
and build/build.css
files and you're ready.
There are some useful commands you can use:
$ grunt watch
- watches for changes in the CSS and JS files in lib/
and updates the build files
$ grunt componentbuild
- updates the files in build/
$ grunt uglify
- makes new JS standalone files
$ grunt cssmin
- makes new CSS standalone files
$ grunt clean
- empties the contents of build/
and dist/
folders
