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

WARNING: Chrome, Safari and newer Edge versions i.e. any browser based on WebKit exposes <Slider orientation="vertical" />
as horizontal (chromium issue #1158217).
By applying -webkit-appearance: slider-vertical;
the slider is exposed as vertical.
However, by applying -webkit-appearance: slider-vertical;
keyboard navigation for horizontal keys (Arrow Left, Arrow Right) is reversed (chromium issue #1162640).
Usually, up and right should increase and left and down should decrease the value.
If you apply -webkit-appearance
you could prevent keyboard navigation for horizontal arrow keys for a truly vertical slider.
This might be less confusing to users compared to a change in direction.
Track
The track shows the range available for user selection.
Removed track
The track can be turned off with track={false}
.

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
orgetAriaLabel
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
oraria-valuetext
prop.
Limitations
IE 11
The slider's value label is not centered in IE 11. The alignement is not handled to make customizations easier with the lastest browsers. You can solve the issue with:
.MuiSlider-valueLabel {
left: calc(-50% - 4px);
}
