Slider

A slider component for selecting numeric values within a specified range. Supports both single value and range selection modes, horizontal and vertical orientations, custom styling, and step intervals.

#Import

use gpui_kit::component::slider::{Slider, SliderState, SliderEvent, SliderValue};

#Usage

#Basic Slider

let slider_state = cx.new(|_| {
    SliderState::new()
        .min(0.0)
        .max(100.0)
        .default_value(50.0)
        .step(1.0)
});

Slider::new(&slider_state)

#Slider with Event Handling

struct MyView {
    slider_state: Entity<SliderState>,
    current_value: f32,
}

impl MyView {
    fn new(cx: &mut Context<Self>) -> Self {
        let slider_state = cx.new(|_| {
            SliderState::new()
                .min(0.0)
                .max(100.0)
                .default_value(25.0)
                .step(5.0)
        });

        let subscription = cx.subscribe(&slider_state, |this, _, event: &SliderEvent, cx| {
            match event {
                SliderEvent::Change(value) => {
                    this.current_value = value.start();
                    cx.notify();
                }
            }
        });

        Self {
            slider_state,
            current_value: 25.0,
        }
    }
}

impl Render for MyView {
    fn render(&mut self, _: &mut Window, cx: &mut Context<Self>) -> impl IntoElement {
        v_flex()
            .gap_2()
            .child(Slider::new(&self.slider_state))
            .child(format!("Value: {}", self.current_value))
    }
}

#Range Slider

let range_slider = cx.new(|_| {
    SliderState::new()
        .min(0.0)
        .max(100.0)
        .default_value(20.0..80.0)  // Range from 20 to 80
        .step(1.0)
});

Slider::new(&range_slider)

#Vertical Slider

Slider::new(&slider_state)
    .vertical()
    .h(px(200.))

#Custom Step Intervals

// Integer steps
let integer_slider = cx.new(|_| {
    SliderState::new()
        .min(0.0)
        .max(10.0)
        .step(1.0)
        .default_value(5.0)
});

// Decimal steps
let decimal_slider = cx.new(|_| {
    SliderState::new()
        .min(0.0)
        .max(1.0)
        .step(0.01)
        .default_value(0.5)
});

#Min/Max Configuration

// Temperature slider
let temp_slider = cx.new(|_| {
    SliderState::new()
        .min(-10.0)
        .max(40.0)
        .default_value(20.0)
        .step(0.5)
});

// Percentage slider
let percent_slider = cx.new(|_| {
    SliderState::new()
        .min(0.0)
        .max(100.0)
        .default_value(75.0)
        .step(5.0)
});

#Disabled State

Slider::new(&slider_state)
    .disabled(true)

#Custom Styling

Slider::new(&slider_state)
    .bg(cx.theme().success)
    .text_color(cx.theme().success_foreground)
    .rounded(px(4.))

#Scale

There have 2 types of scale for the slider:

• Linear (default)
• Logarithmic

The logarithmic scale is useful when the range of values is large and you want to give more precision to smaller values.

let log_slider = cx.new(|_| {
    SliderState::new()
        .min(1.0) // min must be greater than 0 for log scale
        .max(1000.0)
        .default_value(10.0)
        .step(1.0)
        .scale(SliderScale::Logarithmic)
});

In this case:

• If slider at 25%, value will be approximately 5.62.
• If slider at 50%, value will be approximately 31.62.
• If slider at 75%, value will be approximately 177.83.
• If slider at 100%, value will be 1000.0.

#Conversions

// From f32
let single_value: SliderValue = 42.0.into();

// From tuple
let range_value: SliderValue = (10.0, 90.0).into();

// From Range
let range_value: SliderValue = (10.0..90.0).into();

#SliderEvent

#Styling

The slider component implements Styled trait and supports:

• Background color for track and thumb
• Text color for thumb
• Border radius
• Size customization
