Originally began as a loose "fork" of bootstrap-slider found on http://www.eyecon.ro/ by Stefan Petre.
Over time, this project has diverged sigfinicantly from Stefan Petre's version and is now almost completly different.
Please ensure that you are using this library instead of the Petre version before creating issues in the repository Issue tracker!!
Clone the repository, then run npm install
Want to use bower? bower install seiyria-bootstrap-slider
Then load the plugin CSS and JavaScript into your web page, and everything should work!
Remember to load the plugin code after loading the Bootstrap CSS and JQuery.
JQuery is optional and the plugin can operate with or without it.
Look below to see an example of how to interact with the non-JQuery interface.
We only support modern browsers!!! Basically, anything below IE9 is not compatible with this plugin!
You can see all of our API examples here.
Create an input element and call .slider() on it:
// Instantiate a slider
var mySlider = $("input.slider").slider();
// Call a method on the slider
var value = mySlider.slider('getValue');
// For non-getter methods, you can chain together commands
mySlider
.slider('setValue', 5)
.slider('setValue', 7);
If there is already a JQuery plugin named slider bound to the namespace, then this plugin will take on the alternate namespace bootstrapSlider.
// Instantiate a slider
var mySlider = $("input.slider").bootstrapSlider();
// Call a method on the slider
var value = mySlider.bootstrapSlider('getValue');
// For non-getter methods, you can chain together commands
mySlider
.bootstrapSlider('setValue', 5)
.bootstrapSlider('setValue', 7);
Create an input element in the DOM, and then create an instance of Slider, passing it a selector string referencing the input element.
// Instantiate a slider
var mySlider = new Slider("input.slider", {
// initial options object
});
// Call a method on the slider
var value = mySlider.getValue();
// For non-getter methods, you can chain together commands
mySlider
.setValue(5)
.setValue(7);
Options can be passed either as a data (data-slider-foo) attribute, or as part of an object in the slider call. The only exception here is the formater argument - that can not be passed as a data- attribute.
