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.

<Stack spacing={2} direction="row" sx={{ alignItems: 'center', mb: 1 }}>
 <VolumeDown />
 <Slider aria-label="Volume" value={value} onChange={handleChange} />
 <VolumeUp />
</Stack>
<Slider disabled defaultValue={30} aria-label="Disabled slider" />

Sizes

For smaller slider, use the prop size="small".

<Slider
 size="small"
 defaultValue={70}
 aria-label="Small"
 valueLabelDisplay="auto"
/>
<Slider defaultValue={50} aria-label="Default" valueLabelDisplay="auto" />
Press to start editing

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}.

<Slider
 aria-label="Temperature"
 defaultValue={30}
 getAriaValueText={valuetext}
 valueLabelDisplay="auto"
 shiftStep={30}
 step={10}
 marks
 min={10}
 max={110}
/>
<Slider defaultValue={30} step={10} marks min={10} max={110} disabled />
Press to start editing

Small steps

You can change the default step increment. Make sure to adjust the shiftStep prop (the granularity with which the slider can step when using Page Up/Down or Shift + Arrow Up/Down) to a value divisible by the step.

<Slider
 aria-label="Small steps"
 defaultValue={0.00000005}
 getAriaValueText={valuetext}
 step={0.00000001}
 marks
 min={-0.00000005}
 max={0.0000001}
 valueLabelDisplay="auto"
/>
Press to start editing

Custom marks

You can have custom marks by providing a rich array to the marks prop.

0°C20°C37°C100°C
<Slider
 aria-label="Custom marks"
 defaultValue={20}
 getAriaValueText={valuetext}
 step={10}
 valueLabelDisplay="auto"
 marks={marks}
/>
Press to start editing

Restricted values

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

0°C20°C37°C100°C
<Slider
 aria-label="Restricted values"
 defaultValue={20}
 getAriaValueText={valuetext}
 step={null}
 valueLabelDisplay="auto"
 marks={marks}
/>
Press to start editing

Label always visible

You can force the thumb label to be always visible with valueLabelDisplay="on".

0°C20°C37°C100°C
<Slider
 aria-label="Always visible"
 defaultValue={80}
 getAriaValueText={valuetext}
 step={10}
 marks={marks}
 valueLabelDisplay="on"
/>
Press to start editing

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.

<Slider
 getAriaLabel={() => 'Temperature range'}
 value={value}
 onChange={handleChange}
 valueLabelDisplay="auto"
 getAriaValueText={valuetext}
/>
Press to start editing

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.

<Slider
 getAriaLabel={() => 'Minimum distance'}
 value={value1}
 onChange={handleChange1}
 valueLabelDisplay="auto"
 getAriaValueText={valuetext}
 disableSwap
/>
<Slider
 getAriaLabel={() => 'Minimum distance shift'}
 value={value2}
 onChange={handleChange2}
 valueLabelDisplay="auto"
 getAriaValueText={valuetext}
 disableSwap
/>
Press to start editing

Slider with input field

In this example, an input allows a discrete value to be set.

Volume

<Slider
 aria-label="Temperature"
 defaultValue={30}
 getAriaValueText={valuetext}
 color="secondary"
/>

Vertical sliders

Set the orientation prop to "vertical" to create vertical sliders. The thumb will track vertical movement instead of horizontal movement.

You can customize your slider by adding and repositioning marks for minimum and maximum values.

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 or getAriaLabel 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 or aria-valuetext prop.
