slotProps

The props used for each slot inside the Slider.

Type:{ input?: func | object, mark?: func | object, markLabel?: func | object, rail?: func | object, root?: func | object, thumb?: func | object, track?: func | object, valueLabel?: any | func }

Default:{}

slots

The components used for each slot inside the Slider. Either a string to use a HTML element or a component.

See Slots API below for more details.

Type:{ input?: elementType, mark?: elementType, markLabel?: elementType, rail?: elementType, root?: elementType, thumb?: elementType, track?: elementType, valueLabel?: elementType }

Default:{}

step

The granularity with which the slider can step through values. (A "discrete" slider.) The min prop serves as the origin for the valid values. We recommend (max - min) to be evenly divisible by the step.
When step is null, the thumb can only be slid onto marks provided with the marks prop.

Tab index attribute of the hidden input element.

Type:number

false the track will render without a bar.

Type:'inverted' | 'normal' | false

Default:'normal'

value

The value of the slider. For ranged sliders, provide an array with two values.

Type:Array<number> | number

valueLabelFormat

The format function the value label's value.
When a function is provided, it should have the following signature:
- {number} value The value label's value to format - {number} index The value label's index to format

Type:func | string

Default:function Identity(x) { return x; }

The ref is forwarded to the root element.
