Import#

Chakra UI exports 5 components for Slider:

  • Slider: The wrapper that provides context and functionality for all children.
  • SliderTrack: The empty part of the slider that shows the track.
  • SliderFilledTrack: The filled part of the slider.
  • SliderThumb: The handle that's used to change the slider value.
  • SliderMark: The label or mark that shows names for specific slider values
import {
  Slider,
  SliderTrack,
  SliderFilledTrack,
  SliderThumb,
  SliderMark,
} from '@chakra-ui/react'

Usage#

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.

Note: We recommend adding a aria-label or aria-labelledby prop to provide an accessible label for the Slider.

<Slider aria-label='slider-ex-1' defaultValue={30}>
  <SliderTrack>
    <SliderFilledTrack />
  </SliderTrack>
  <SliderThumb />
</Slider>

Changing the slider color scheme#

<Slider aria-label='slider-ex-2' colorScheme='pink' defaultValue={30}>
  <SliderTrack>
    <SliderFilledTrack />
  </SliderTrack>
  <SliderThumb />
</Slider>

Changing the slider orientation#

<Slider
  aria-label='slider-ex-3'
  defaultValue={30}
  orientation='vertical'
  minH='32'
>
  <SliderTrack>
    <SliderFilledTrack />
  </SliderTrack>
  <SliderThumb />
</Slider>

Customizing the Slider#

Slider component was designed to be composed to make it easy for you to customize its styles.

<Slider aria-label='slider-ex-4' defaultValue={30}>
  <SliderTrack bg='red.100'>
    <SliderFilledTrack bg='tomato' />
  </SliderTrack>
  <SliderThumb boxSize={6}>
    <Box color='tomato' as={MdGraphicEq} />
  </SliderThumb>
</Slider>

Discrete Sliders#

Discrete sliders allow you to snap to predefined sets of values. This can be accomplished using the step prop.

<Slider defaultValue={60} min={0} max={300} step={30}>
  <SliderTrack bg='red.100'>
    <Box position='relative' right={10} />
    <SliderFilledTrack bg='tomato' />
  </SliderTrack>
  <SliderThumb boxSize={6} />
</Slider>

Slider with custom labels and marks#

You can have custom labels and marks by using SliderMark component

function SliderMarkExample() {
  const [sliderValue, setSliderValue] = useState(50)


  const labelStyles = {
    mt: '2',
    ml: '-2.5',
    fontSize: 'sm',
  }


  return (
    <Box pt={6} pb={2}>
      <Slider aria-label='slider-ex-6' onChange={(val) => setSliderValue(val)}>
        <SliderMark value={25} {...labelStyles}>
          25%
        </SliderMark>
        <SliderMark value={50} {...labelStyles}>
          50%
        </SliderMark>
        <SliderMark value={75} {...labelStyles}>
          75%
        </SliderMark>
        <SliderMark
          value={sliderValue}
          textAlign='center'
          bg='blue.500'
          color='white'
          mt='-10'
          ml='-5'
          w='12'
        >
          {sliderValue}%
        </SliderMark>
        <SliderTrack>
          <SliderFilledTrack />
        </SliderTrack>
        <SliderThumb />
      </Slider>
    </Box>
  )
}

And you can also use Tooltip with SliderThumb

function SliderThumbWithTooltip() {
  const [sliderValue, setSliderValue] = React.useState(5)
  const [showTooltip, setShowTooltip] = React.useState(false)
  return (
    <Slider
      id='slider'
      defaultValue={5}
      min={0}
      max={100}
      colorScheme='teal'
      onChange={(v) => setSliderValue(v)}
      onMouseEnter={() => setShowTooltip(true)}
      onMouseLeave={() => setShowTooltip(false)}
    >
      <SliderMark value={25} mt='1' ml='-2.5' fontSize='sm'>
        25%
      </SliderMark>
      <SliderMark value={50} mt='1' ml='-2.5' fontSize='sm'>
        50%
      </SliderMark>
      <SliderMark value={75} mt='1' ml='-2.5' fontSize='sm'>
        75%
      </SliderMark>
      <SliderTrack>
        <SliderFilledTrack />
      </SliderTrack>
      <Tooltip
        hasArrow
        bg='teal.500'
        color='white'
        placement='top'
        isOpen={showTooltip}
        label={`${sliderValue}%`}
      >
        <SliderThumb />
      </Tooltip>
    </Slider>
  )
}

Getting the final value when dragging the slider#

Dragging the slider can trigger lots of updates and the user might only be interested in the final result after sliding is complete. You can use onChangeEnd for this.

<Slider aria-label='slider-ex-5' onChangeEnd={(val) => console.log(val)}>
  <SliderTrack>
    <SliderFilledTrack />
  </SliderTrack>
  <SliderThumb />
</Slider>

Configure thumb focus with focusThumbOnChange#

By default SliderThumb will receive focus whenever value changes. You can opt-out of this behavior by setting the value of focusThumbOnChange to false. This is normally used with a "controlled" slider value.

<Slider aria-label='slider-ex-5' value={value} focusThumbOnChange={false}>
  <SliderTrack>
    <SliderFilledTrack />
  </SliderTrack>
  <SliderThumb />
</Slider>

useSlider#

We've exported the useSlider hook to help users manage and build custom slider UIs.
