When to use

Settings tuned by dragging along a bounded scale, such as volume, opacity or color temperature
Ranges picked with 2 or more thumbs on a single track, laid out horizontally or vertically
Durations, storage sizes and scores read off tick marks, scale labels, a value bubble or an emoji

When not to use

A complete shop facet panel with brands, colors, sizes and a price range: use the Filter Sidebar blocks
A value typed straight into a box, such as an exact price, with no scale to drag: use the Input component
A read only bar that reports how far a task or upload has got: use the Progress component

Agent notes

The base Slider draws a thumb per entry of an array value or defaultValue; a plain number gets 2 stacked thumbs and 2 tab stops
htmlFor on a Label reaches only the root div of the base Slider, not its thumb input; name the slider with aria-labelledby instead
Base onValueChange is typed as a number or a read only array, so narrow it with Array.isArray; the radix twin passes a number array

Shadcn Slider: Numeric Range Input for React Apps

Shadcn Slider is the continuous range input primitive for selecting values within a bounded interval. Built on Radix UI and Base UI interaction models, it maps keyboard and mouse input to a numeric scale so users can adjust settings like volume, brightness, or filter thresholds without typing.

It follows WAI-ARIA slider semantics and keyboard navigation so assistive technologies and keyboard-only users can control the range. Shadcn Create style options apply to slider tracks and thumbs so your design tokens flow into exported code.

ReUI lists slider components inside forms, price filters, and settings panels so you evaluate density, labels, and step increments next to real workflows. The sections below explain what it is, why teams use it, which features matter, and how it pairs with other components.

What is Shadcn Slider?

In product UI, a slider is a control that lets users select a value or range by dragging a thumb along a track. Shadcn Slider follows Radix UI keyboard and focus semantics so screen readers announce the current value and range, and users can change values with arrow keys.

Components here show single and range sliders, labeled with units, paired with numeric input fields, and inside price filters or preference panels. They help you decide spacing, step behavior, and label placement before you wire the same component into Next.js or a React form.

Why Use Shadcn Slider?

Teams use sliders when continuous numeric input fits better than dropdowns or discrete buttons. Price ranges, volume controls, zoom levels, and date ranges all benefit from a visual, draggable interface. Sliders reduce interaction cost when the user's goal is to explore or fine-tune a value.

The layouts on this page show how to combine slider elements, labels, and helper text to guide users toward the right range.

Shadcn Slider Features

Keyboard Accessible. Arrow keys, Page Up/Down, and Home/End adjust the slider value; focus is clearly indicated for screen reader users.
Range or Single Value. Choose a single thumb to select one value or multiple thumbs to select a range, depending on your filter or preference use case.
Customizable Steps. Define step increments (e.g., $5 for price, 1 dB for volume) so users land on meaningful values instead of arbitrary fractional steps.
Radix UI and Base UI Compatible. Styling uses tokens and composition that work with Radix UI projects and Base UI-style unstyled components when you manage theme consistency.
Label and Helper Text. Pair slider with a Shadcn Field label, description, and optional current-value display so users understand the range and its real-world meaning.

Place a Shadcn Label above the slider to describe its purpose and a Shadcn Field for optional helper text or error states when validation applies.

Pair the slider with an Shadcn Input field so users can toggle between dragging and typing exact values. Keep their state synchronized in React.

Use sliders inside a Shadcn Card or settings panel when the product has many adjustable parameters. Combine with a Shadcn Button to apply or reset all filters at once.

Frequently Asked Questions

Should I use a slider or a numeric input for range selection?

Use a slider when the user's goal is to explore or adjust a continuous value without typing. Combine slider with a Shadcn Input field so users can type exact values when precision matters, and the two stay in sync.

How do I set up a range slider with two thumbs?

Shadcn Slider supports multiple values in the state array. Define min, max, and step; provide an onChange handler to update both values together. Style each thumb independently if your design requires it.

Is a slider keyboard accessible?

Yes. Arrow keys move the slider one step at a time, and Page Up/Down jump by larger increments. Home and End move to the min and max. Make sure your label is associated via a <label htmlFor> so assistive tech announces the purpose.

Can I add labels or currency symbols to a slider?

Yes. Place a Shadcn Label above or beside the slider and a text span showing the current value or range. Use a unit suffix (e.g., '$100') to clarify meaning without cluttering the track.

How does a slider integrate with React Hook Form?

Use useController or register to bind slider value to form state. On change, update the field value. On form submit, the slider value is included in the payload like any other field.

Do sliders perform well on mobile?

Yes, sliders work well on touch. Ensure the thumb hit target is 44px+ and there is space around the slider so users don't accidentally touch nearby elements. Test with your actual touch device to confirm comfort.
