Description

• TsIonRangeSlider — cool, comfortable and easily customizable range slider with many options and skin support written in TypeScript without jQuery dependency, forked from Ion.RangeSlider
• Supports events and public methods, has flexible settings, can be completely altered with CSS
• Cross-browser: Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox 3.6+, Opera 12+, Safari 5+, Internet Explorer 8+
• With this plugin you will be able to build beautiful range sliders, like this:

Key features

• Skin support. (6 skins included)
• Any number of sliders at one page without conflicts and big performance problems
• Two slider types single (1 slider) and double (2 sliders)
• Support of negative and fractional values
• Ability to set custom step and snap grid to step
• Support of custom values diapason
• Customisable grid of values
• Ability to disable UI elements (min and max, current value, grid)
• Postfixes and prefixes for your numbers ($20, 20 € etc.)
• Additional postfix for maximum value (eg. $0 — $100+)
• Ability to prettify large numbers (eg. 10000000 -> 10 000 000 or 10.000.000)
• Slider writes its value right into input value field. This makes it easy to use in any html form
• Any slider value can be set through input data-attribute (eg. data-min="10")
• Slider supports disable param. You can set it true to make slider inactive
• Slider supports external methods (update, reset and remove) to control it after creation
• For advanced users slider has callbacks (onStart, onChange, onFinish, onUpdate). Slider pastes all its params to callback first argument as object
• Slider supports date and time

Usage

Add the following libraries to the page:

• ts-ion-range-slider.min.js

Add the following stylesheets from Ion.RangeSlider to the page:

• ion.rangeSlider.min.css

Initialisation

The slider overrides a native text input element.

<input type="text" id="example_id" name="example_name" value="" />

To initialise the slider, call ionRangeSlider on the element:

new TsIonRangeSlider.Slider(document.querySelector("#example_id"));

Description of data passed to callbacks (onChange and etc.)

Result is object type and passed to callback as first argument:

Obj: {
    "input": object,            // jQuery-link to input
    "slider": object,           // jQuery-link to sliders container
    "min": 1000,                // MIN value
    "max": 100000,              // MAX values
    "from": 10000,              // FROM value
    "from_percent": 10,         // FROM value in percents
    "from_value": 0,            // FROM index in values array (if used)
    "to": 90000,                // TO value
    "to_percent": 90,           // TO value in percents
    "to_value": 0,              // TO index in values array (if used)
    "min_pretty": "1 000",      // MIN prettified (if used)
    "max_pretty": "100 000",    // MAX prettified (if used)
    "from_pretty": "10 000",    // FROM prettified (if used)
    "to_pretty": "90 000"       // TO prettified (if used)
}

Creating slider (all params)

An example of a customised slider:

const input = document.querySelector('#example');
new TsIonRangeSlider.Slider(input, {
    skin: "big",
    min: 0,
    max: 10000,
    from: 1000,
    to: 9000,
    type: 'double',
    prefix: "$",
    grid: true,
    grid_num: 10
});

You can also initialise slider with data-* attributes of input tag:

data-min="0"
data-max="10000"
data-from="1000"
data-to="9000"
data-type="double"
data-prefix="$"
data-grid="true"
data-grid-num="10"

Public methods

To use public methods, at first you must save slider instance to variable:

// Launch plugin
const input = document.querySelector('#example');
let sliderInputElement = new TsIonRangeSlider.Slider(input, {
    skin            : 'round',
    grid            : true,
    grid_margin     : true,
    grid_num        : 4,
    grid_snap       : false,
    hide_from_to    : false,
    hide_min_max    : false,
    onChange        : obj => console.log(obj),
    onFinish        : obj => console.log(obj),
    onStart         : obj => console.log(obj),
    onUpdate        : obj => console.log(obj),
    type            : 'double',
    values          : ['a', 'b', 'c'],
    values_separator: ','
  });
  sliderInputElement.update({
    values: ['a', 'b', 'c', 'd'],
  });
  sliderInputElement.reset();
  sliderInputElement.destroy();

There are 3 public methods:

// UPDATE - updates slider to any new values
slider.update({
    from: 300,
    to: 400
});

// RESET - reset slider to it's first values
slider.reset();

// DESTROY - destroys slider and restores original input field
slider.destroy();
