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.
Discrete sliders
Discrete sliders can be adjusted to a specific value by referencing its value indicator. By order of demos:
- You can generate a mark for each step with
marks={true}
. - You can have custom marks by providing a rich array to the
marks
prop. - You can restrict the selectable values to those provided with the
marks
prop withstep={null}
. - You can force the thumb label to be always visible with
valueLabelDisplay="on"
.

Accessibility
The component handles most of the work necessary to make it accessible. However, you need to make sure that:
- The slider, as a whole, has a label (
aria-label
oraria-labelledby
prop). - Each thumb has a user-friendly name 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.
