Slider

Description

The slider component is used to display and set a numerical value within a defined range of numbers, similar to the Spinner. A classic use case would be setting a dimming or volume value. The slider consists of a horizontal bar representing the range of values and a button that can be moved over it to set the current value.

../../../_images/cv-slider-volume.png
<cv-slider min="0" max="100" format="%d %%">
    <cv-address transform="DPT:5.001">1/4/1</cv-address>
    <cv-icon class="decrease">ri-volume-down-line</cv-icon>
    <cv-icon class="increase">ri-volume-up-line</cv-icon>
</cv-slider>

The value range is limited by the min and max attributes. The step-width attribute can be used to specify how much the value increases/decreases when the slider is operated. The display of the value as text above the slider can be turned off with hide-value="true" and formatted using the format attribute.

To prevent every value change from being sent directly to the backend during operation and potentially overloading it, the throttle-interval attribute can be used to specify the minimum time in milliseconds that must pass between two value changes.
