Enhance your forms with our customizable React Range Slider component for advanced range selection.
Available in Other JavaScript Frameworks
CoreUI React Range Slider Component is also available for Angular, Bootstrap, and Vue. Explore framework-specific implementations below:
Overview
The React Range Slider component allows users to select a value or range of values within a predefined range. It renders the markup of the range: a <div class="form-range"> with one native <input type="range"> per handle, so it looks like a range and reads its tokens, and adds what the range does not have: several handles on one track, distance between them, a press on the track that moves the nearest handle, clickable ticks and a vertical orientation. className, style, theme, dir, hidden, role and the ref land on the .form-range, which is a group named by aria-label or aria-labelledby; other input attributes, such as id (on the first handle) and aria-describedby, reach the handles.
import React from 'react'
import { CRangeSlider } from '@coreui/react-pro'
export const RangeSliderExample = () => {
return (
<CRangeSlider
defaultValue={[25, 75]}
ticks={['Low', 'Medium', 'High']}
ariaLabel={['Minimum intensity', 'Maximum intensity']}
/>
)
}import React from 'react'
import { CRangeSlider } from '@coreui/react-pro'
export const RangeSliderExample = () => {
return (
<CRangeSlider
defaultValue={[25, 75]}
ticks={['Low', 'Medium', 'High']}
ariaLabel={['Minimum intensity', 'Maximum intensity']}
/>
)
}Features
- Multiple Handles: Select single or multiple values within the range.
- Ticks: Draw ticks with labels at specific points on the slider.
- Tooltips: Show dynamic tooltips displaying current values.
- Vertical Orientation: Rotate the slider for vertical layouts.
- Clickable Ticks: Enable users to click on ticks to set slider values.
- Disabled State: Disable the slider to prevent user interaction.
Basic React Range Slider
Create a simple range slider with default settings.
import React from 'react'
import { CRangeSlider } from '@coreui/react-pro'
export const RangeSliderBasicExample = () => {
return <CRangeSlider defaultValue={50} ariaLabel={['Volume']} />
}import React from 'react'
import { CRangeSlider } from '@coreui/react-pro'
export const RangeSliderBasicExample = () => {
return <CRangeSlider defaultValue={50} ariaLabel={['Volume']} />
}With form field
Wrap the control in <CFormField> to lay it out with its label and description, and to get validation feedback in the right place. Point aria-labelledby at the label and aria-describedby at the description: the slider is a group named by the label, “Budget” here, its handles carry their own names, “Minimum” and “Maximum”, and the text below describes every handle (see Accessibility).
import React from 'react'
import { CFormField, CFormText } from '@coreui/react'
import { CRangeSlider } from '@coreui/react-pro'
export const RangeSliderFormFieldExample = () => {
return (
<CFormField>
<span className="form-label" id="budgetLabel">
Budget
</span>
<CRangeSlider
aria-describedby="budgetHelp"
aria-labelledby="budgetLabel"
ariaLabel={['Minimum', 'Maximum']}
defaultValue={[25, 75]}
name={['budgetMin', 'budgetMax']}
/>
<CFormText id="budgetHelp">Monthly spend, in thousands.</CFormText>
</CFormField>
)
}import React from 'react'
import { CFormField, CFormText } from '@coreui/react'
import { CRangeSlider } from '@coreui/react-pro'
export const RangeSliderFormFieldExample = () => {
return (
<CFormField>
<span className="form-label" id="budgetLabel">
Budget
</span>
<CRangeSlider
aria-describedby="budgetHelp"
aria-labelledby="budgetLabel"
ariaLabel={['Minimum', 'Maximum']}
defaultValue={[25, 75]}
name={['budgetMin', 'budgetMax']}
/>
<CFormText id="budgetHelp">Monthly spend, in thousands.</CFormText>
</CFormField>
)
}Multiple handles
Enable multiple handles to allow the selection of a range or/and multiple values. The handles share one track, the band runs from the lowest handle to the highest, and each handle is a native range input, so dragging, the keyboard, touch, form submission and form reset work as they do for one. The handles stay in order, a press on the track moves the nearest one and it follows the pointer until it is released, and when two of them meet the one that can still move stays on top.
import React from 'react'
import { CRangeSlider } from '@coreui/react-pro'
export const RangeSliderMultipleHandlesExample = () => {
return (
<>
<CRangeSlider
className="mb-4"
defaultValue={[20, 40]}
ariaLabel={['Minimum price', 'Maximum price']}
/>
<CRangeSlider
className="mb-4"
defaultValue={[20, 40, 60]}
ariaLabel={['Checkpoint 1', 'Checkpoint 2', 'Checkpoint 3']}
/>
<CRangeSlider
defaultValue={[20, 40, 60, 80]}
ariaLabel={['Stage 1', 'Stage 2', 'Stage 3', 'Stage 4']}
/>
</>
)
}import React from 'react'
import { CRangeSlider } from '@coreui/react-pro'
export const RangeSliderMultipleHandlesExample = () => {
return (
<>
<CRangeSlider
className="mb-4"
defaultValue={[20, 40]}
ariaLabel={['Minimum price', 'Maximum price']}
/>
<CRangeSlider
className="mb-4"
defaultValue={[20, 40, 60]}
ariaLabel={['Checkpoint 1', 'Checkpoint 2', 'Checkpoint 3']}
/>
<CRangeSlider
defaultValue={[20, 40, 60, 80]}
ariaLabel={['Stage 1', 'Stage 2', 'Stage 3', 'Stage 4']}
/>
</>
)
}Vertical Range Slider
Rotate the slider to a vertical orientation.
import React from 'react'
import { CRangeSlider } from '@coreui/react-pro'
export const RangeSliderVerticalExample = () => {
return (
<div className="d-flex">
<CRangeSlider className="me-4" defaultValue={20} vertical ariaLabel={['Volume']} />
<CRangeSlider
className="me-4"
defaultValue={[20, 80]}
vertical
ariaLabel={['Minimum temperature', 'Maximum temperature']}
/>
<CRangeSlider
defaultValue={[20, 80, 100]}
vertical
ariaLabel={['Level 1', 'Level 2', 'Level 3']}
/>
</div>
)
}import React from 'react'
import { CRangeSlider } from '@coreui/react-pro'
export const RangeSliderVerticalExample = () => {
return (
<div className="d-flex">
<CRangeSlider className="me-4" defaultValue={20} vertical ariaLabel={['Volume']} />
<CRangeSlider
className="me-4"
defaultValue={[20, 80]}
vertical
ariaLabel={['Minimum temperature', 'Maximum temperature']}
/>
<CRangeSlider
defaultValue={[20, 80, 100]}
vertical
ariaLabel={['Level 1', 'Level 2', 'Level 3']}
/>
</div>
)
}Disabled
Disable the slider to prevent user interaction.
import React from 'react'
import { CRangeSlider } from '@coreui/react-pro'
export const RangeSliderDisabledExample = () => {
return (
<>
<CRangeSlider className="mb-4" defaultValue={50} disabled ariaLabel={['Volume']} />
<CRangeSlider
defaultValue={[50, 75]}
disabled
ariaLabel={['Minimum price', 'Maximum price']}
/>
</>
)
}import React from 'react'
import { CRangeSlider } from '@coreui/react-pro'
export const RangeSliderDisabledExample = () => {
return (
<>
<CRangeSlider className="mb-4" defaultValue={50} disabled ariaLabel={['Volume']} />
<CRangeSlider
defaultValue={[50, 75]}
disabled
ariaLabel={['Minimum price', 'Maximum price']}
/>
</>
)
}Min and max
React Range Slider component has implicit values for min and max—0 and 100, respectively. You may specify new values for those using the min and max attributes.
import React from 'react'
import { CRangeSlider } from '@coreui/react-pro'
export const RangeSliderMinAndMaxExample = () => {
return (
<>
<CRangeSlider
className="mb-4"
min={-50}
max={150}
defaultValue={50}
ariaLabel={['Temperature']}
/>
<CRangeSlider
min={-50}
max={150}
defaultValue={[50, 75]}
ariaLabel={['Minimum temperature', 'Maximum temperature']}
/>
</>
)
}import React from 'react'
import { CRangeSlider } from '@coreui/react-pro'
export const RangeSliderMinAndMaxExample = () => {
return (
<>
<CRangeSlider
className="mb-4"
min={-50}
max={150}
defaultValue={50}
ariaLabel={['Temperature']}
/>
<CRangeSlider
min={-50}
max={150}
defaultValue={[50, 75]}
ariaLabel={['Minimum temperature', 'Maximum temperature']}
/>
</>
)
}Steps
Range Slider inputs automatically “snap” to whole numbers. To modify this behavior, set a step value. In the example below, we increase the number of steps by specifying step="0.25".
import React from 'react'
import { CRangeSlider } from '@coreui/react-pro'
export const RangeSliderStepsExample = () => {
return (
<>
<CRangeSlider className="mb-4" step={0.25} defaultValue={50} ariaLabel={['Weight']} />
<CRangeSlider
step={0.25}
defaultValue={[50, 75]}
ariaLabel={['Minimum weight', 'Maximum weight']}
/>
</>
)
}import React from 'react'
import { CRangeSlider } from '@coreui/react-pro'
export const RangeSliderStepsExample = () => {
return (
<>
<CRangeSlider className="mb-4" step={0.25} defaultValue={50} ariaLabel={['Weight']} />
<CRangeSlider
step={0.25}
defaultValue={[50, 75]}
ariaLabel={['Minimum weight', 'Maximum weight']}
/>
</>
)
}Distance
Sets the minimum distance between multiple slider handles by setting distance and ensures that the handles do not overlap or get too close.
import React from 'react'
import { CRangeSlider } from '@coreui/react-pro'
export const RangeSliderDistanceExample = () => {
return (
<CRangeSlider
distance={10}
defaultValue={[50, 75]}
ariaLabel={['Minimum price', 'Maximum price']}
/>
)
}import React from 'react'
import { CRangeSlider } from '@coreui/react-pro'
export const RangeSliderDistanceExample = () => {
return (
<CRangeSlider
distance={10}
defaultValue={[50, 75]}
ariaLabel={['Minimum price', 'Maximum price']}
/>
)
}Ticks
Add ticks to specific points on the slider for better context. If you provide an array of strings, as in the example below, then ticks will be spaced at equal distances from the beginning to the end of the slider, each labelled with its string.
import React from 'react'
import { CRangeSlider } from '@coreui/react-pro'
export const RangeSliderTicksExample = () => {
return (
<CRangeSlider
ticks={['Start', 'Middle', 'End']}
defaultValue={[30, 70]}
ariaLabel={['Minimum progress', 'Maximum progress']}
/>
)
}import React from 'react'
import { CRangeSlider } from '@coreui/react-pro'
export const RangeSliderTicksExample = () => {
return (
<CRangeSlider
ticks={['Start', 'Middle', 'End']}
defaultValue={[30, 70]}
ariaLabel={['Minimum progress', 'Maximum progress']}
/>
)
}Ticks customization
Ticks can be configured as an array of strings, numbers or objects. A number is a bare tick at that value, with no text; with objects you can specify additional properties like value, label, className, and style.
import React from 'react'
import { CRangeSlider } from '@coreui/react-pro'
export const RangeSliderTicksCustomizationExample = () => {
return (
<CRangeSlider
min={-50}
max={100}
ticks={[
{
value: -50,
label: '-50°C',
className: 'fg-info',
},
{
value: 0,
label: '0°C',
style: {
fontWeight: 'bold',
},
},
{
value: 20,
label: '20°C',
className: ['fg-warning'],
},
{
value: 100,
label: '100°C',
className: 'fg-danger',
},
]}
tooltipsFormat={(value) => `${value}°C`}
defaultValue={[-10, 40]}
ariaLabel={['Minimum temperature', 'Maximum temperature']}
/>
)
}import React from 'react'
import { CRangeSlider } from '@coreui/react-pro'
export const RangeSliderTicksCustomizationExample = () => {
return (
<CRangeSlider
min={-50}
max={100}
ticks={[
{
value: -50,
label: '-50°C',
className: 'fg-info',
},
{
value: 0,
label: '0°C',
style: {
fontWeight: 'bold',
},
},
{
value: 20,
label: '20°C',
className: ['fg-warning'],
},
{
value: 100,
label: '100°C',
className: 'fg-danger',
},
]}
tooltipsFormat={(value) => `${value}°C`}
defaultValue={[-10, 40]}
ariaLabel={['Minimum temperature', 'Maximum temperature']}
/>
)
}Tick marks
Every tick is taller when it has text, so bare numbers and labelled points mix in one ticks array. All of them are laid out on one grid, so unevenly spaced values stay aligned.
import React from 'react'
import { CRangeSlider } from '@coreui/react-pro'
export const RangeSliderTickMarksExample = () => {
return (
<CRangeSlider
defaultValue={[25, 75]}
ticks={[
{ value: 0, label: 'Cold' },
25,
{ value: 50, label: 'Mild' },
75,
{ value: 100, label: 'Hot' },
]}
ariaLabel={['Minimum temperature', 'Maximum temperature']}
/>
)
}import React from 'react'
import { CRangeSlider } from '@coreui/react-pro'
export const RangeSliderTickMarksExample = () => {
return (
<CRangeSlider
defaultValue={[25, 75]}
ticks={[
{ value: 0, label: 'Cold' },
25,
{ value: 50, label: 'Mild' },
75,
{ value: 100, label: 'Hot' },
]}
ariaLabel={['Minimum temperature', 'Maximum temperature']}
/>
)
}Clickable ticks
By default, users can click on ticks to set the slider to specific values. You can disable this feature by setting clickableTicks to false.
import React from 'react'
import { CRangeSlider } from '@coreui/react-pro'
export const RangeSliderTicksClickableExample = () => {
return (
<CRangeSlider
clickableTicks={false}
ticks={['Low', 'Medium', 'High']}
defaultValue={[20, 80]}
ariaLabel={['Minimum level', 'Maximum level']}
/>
)
}import React from 'react'
import { CRangeSlider } from '@coreui/react-pro'
export const RangeSliderTicksClickableExample = () => {
return (
<CRangeSlider
clickableTicks={false}
ticks={['Low', 'Medium', 'High']}
defaultValue={[20, 80]}
ariaLabel={['Minimum level', 'Maximum level']}
/>
)
}Tooltips
The value tooltip is the Tooltip component’s markup: the component renders <div class="form-range-tooltip tooltip bs-tooltip-top"> with the tooltip’s arrow and body, so it takes the tooltip’s look and its --cui-tooltip-* tokens. It does not inherit the slider’s theme; give it its own through tooltipClassName.
By default, tooltips show the current value of a handle while the pointer is over it, while it is held, and while it has a visible focus. Set tooltips to "always" to keep them visible at all times, or to false to turn them off.
import React from 'react'
import { CRangeSlider } from '@coreui/react-pro'
export const RangeSliderTooltipsExample = () => {
return (
<div className="d-flex flex-column gap-5 pt-5">
<CRangeSlider
tooltips="always"
defaultValue={[40, 60]}
ariaLabel={['Minimum price', 'Maximum price']}
/>
<CRangeSlider
tooltips={false}
defaultValue={[40, 60]}
ariaLabel={['Minimum price', 'Maximum price']}
/>
</div>
)
}import React from 'react'
import { CRangeSlider } from '@coreui/react-pro'
export const RangeSliderTooltipsExample = () => {
return (
<div className="d-flex flex-column gap-5 pt-5">
<CRangeSlider
tooltips="always"
defaultValue={[40, 60]}
ariaLabel={['Minimum price', 'Maximum price']}
/>
<CRangeSlider
tooltips={false}
defaultValue={[40, 60]}
ariaLabel={['Minimum price', 'Maximum price']}
/>
</div>
)
}Tooltips formatting
Customize the content of tooltips using the tooltipsFormat option. This can be a function that formats the tooltip text based on the current value.
import React from 'react'
import { CRangeSlider } from '@coreui/react-pro'
export const RangeSliderTooltipsFormatingExample = () => {
return (
<CRangeSlider
max={1000}
ticks={[
{
value: 0,
label: '$0',
},
{
value: 250,
label: '$250',
},
{
value: 500,
label: '$500',
},
{
value: 1000,
label: '$1000',
},
]}
tooltipsFormat={(value) => `$${value}`}
defaultValue={[100, 350]}
ariaLabel={['Minimum price', 'Maximum price']}
/>
)
}import React from 'react'
import { CRangeSlider } from '@coreui/react-pro'
export const RangeSliderTooltipsFormatingExample = () => {
return (
<CRangeSlider
max={1000}
ticks={[
{
value: 0,
label: '$0',
},
{
value: 250,
label: '$250',
},
{
value: 500,
label: '$500',
},
{
value: 1000,
label: '$1000',
},
]}
tooltipsFormat={(value) => `$${value}`}
defaultValue={[100, 350]}
ariaLabel={['Minimum price', 'Maximum price']}
/>
)
}Track
The track property allows you to customize how the slider’s track is displayed. By default, the track property is set to 'fill' enabling dynamic filling of the track based on the slider’s current value(s). This means the filled portion of the track will adjust automatically as the slider handle(s) move, offering a responsive visual representation of the selected range.
Disable filling
If you set track to false, the slider’s track will not display any fill. Only the default track background will be visible, which can be useful for minimalist designs or when you use more then two handles.
import React from 'react'
import { CRangeSlider } from '@coreui/react-pro'
export const RangeSliderTrackExample = () => {
return (
<>
<CRangeSlider className="mb-4" track={false} defaultValue={50} ariaLabel={['Volume']} />
<CRangeSlider
className="mb-4"
track={false}
defaultValue={[50, 75]}
ariaLabel={['Minimum price', 'Maximum price']}
/>
<CRangeSlider
track={false}
defaultValue={[25, 50, 75]}
ariaLabel={['Checkpoint 1', 'Checkpoint 2', 'Checkpoint 3']}
/>
</>
)
}import React from 'react'
import { CRangeSlider } from '@coreui/react-pro'
export const RangeSliderTrackExample = () => {
return (
<>
<CRangeSlider className="mb-4" track={false} defaultValue={50} ariaLabel={['Volume']} />
<CRangeSlider
className="mb-4"
track={false}
defaultValue={[50, 75]}
ariaLabel={['Minimum price', 'Maximum price']}
/>
<CRangeSlider
track={false}
defaultValue={[25, 50, 75]}
ariaLabel={['Checkpoint 1', 'Checkpoint 2', 'Checkpoint 3']}
/>
</>
)
}Theme variants
Color the filled track and the handles with the theme property.
import React from 'react'
import { CRangeSlider } from '@coreui/react-pro'
export const RangeSliderThemeColorsExample = () => {
return (
<div className="d-flex flex-column gap-4">
<CRangeSlider
theme="primary"
defaultValue={[25, 75]}
ariaLabel={['Primary minimum', 'Primary maximum']}
/>
<CRangeSlider
theme="secondary"
defaultValue={[25, 75]}
ariaLabel={['Secondary minimum', 'Secondary maximum']}
/>
<CRangeSlider
theme="success"
defaultValue={[25, 75]}
ariaLabel={['Success minimum', 'Success maximum']}
/>
<CRangeSlider
theme="danger"
defaultValue={[25, 75]}
ariaLabel={['Danger minimum', 'Danger maximum']}
/>
<CRangeSlider
theme="warning"
defaultValue={[25, 75]}
ariaLabel={['Warning minimum', 'Warning maximum']}
/>
<CRangeSlider
theme="info"
defaultValue={[25, 75]}
ariaLabel={['Info minimum', 'Info maximum']}
/>
</div>
)
}import React from 'react'
import { CRangeSlider } from '@coreui/react-pro'
export const RangeSliderThemeColorsExample = () => {
return (
<div className="d-flex flex-column gap-4">
<CRangeSlider
theme="primary"
defaultValue={[25, 75]}
ariaLabel={['Primary minimum', 'Primary maximum']}
/>
<CRangeSlider
theme="secondary"
defaultValue={[25, 75]}
ariaLabel={['Secondary minimum', 'Secondary maximum']}
/>
<CRangeSlider
theme="success"
defaultValue={[25, 75]}
ariaLabel={['Success minimum', 'Success maximum']}
/>
<CRangeSlider
theme="danger"
defaultValue={[25, 75]}
ariaLabel={['Danger minimum', 'Danger maximum']}
/>
<CRangeSlider
theme="warning"
defaultValue={[25, 75]}
ariaLabel={['Warning minimum', 'Warning maximum']}
/>
<CRangeSlider
theme="info"
defaultValue={[25, 75]}
ariaLabel={['Info minimum', 'Info maximum']}
/>
</div>
)
}The theme colours the track and the handles; the tooltip keeps its default look. To theme the tooltip, pass a class through tooltipClassName — it lands on the tooltip only. theme-secondary gives a grey tooltip on the default slider; theme-danger makes the tooltip match a danger slider.
import React from 'react'
import { CRangeSlider } from '@coreui/react-pro'
export const RangeSliderTooltipClassNameExample = () => {
return (
<div className="d-flex flex-column gap-4">
<CRangeSlider
defaultValue={[40]}
tooltipClassName="theme-secondary"
ariaLabel={['Secondary tooltip']}
/>
<CRangeSlider
theme="danger"
defaultValue={[60]}
tooltipClassName="theme-danger"
ariaLabel={['Danger slider, danger tooltip']}
/>
</div>
)
}import React from 'react'
import { CRangeSlider } from '@coreui/react-pro'
export const RangeSliderTooltipClassNameExample = () => {
return (
<div className="d-flex flex-column gap-4">
<CRangeSlider
defaultValue={[40]}
tooltipClassName="theme-secondary"
ariaLabel={['Secondary tooltip']}
/>
<CRangeSlider
theme="danger"
defaultValue={[60]}
tooltipClassName="theme-danger"
ariaLabel={['Danger slider, danger tooltip']}
/>
</div>
)
}Validation
Added in v6.0.0A range never fails the browser’s own validation: a handle always holds a value between min and max on a step, and required does not apply to it. A state comes from the page, when the value breaks a rule the browser does not know, such as a budget below the minimum of a plan.
- Give it with
validationState. The state shows on the slider and on its handles:'invalid'colours the thumbs, setsaria-invalidon every handle and adds the invalid feedback that follows the slider to theiraria-describedby. 'invalid'blocks the submit through the first handle, with the text of the feedback as the message the browser shows, orInvalid value.without one, and the browser moves the focus to that handle.'valid'and a custom state do not block, and neither does a disabled slider.- When the user moves a handle, or the form is reset, the slider calls
onValidationStateChange(undefined)before it reports the change; pass your state setter there to drop the state. A change ofvaluefrom your code keeps it. - A validity you set on a handle with
setCustomValidity()shows on the slider once a validation reports it, and a given'valid'shows over it.
import React, { useState } from 'react'
import { CButton, CForm, CFormFeedback, CFormField } from '@coreui/react'
import { CRangeSlider } from '@coreui/react-pro'
export const RangeSliderValidationExample = () => {

}Controlled and uncontrolled
Added in v6.0.0The slider works either way, and the prop you reach for is what picks the mode.
| prop | who owns the value | |
|---|---|---|
| Uncontrolled | defaultValue | the slider, from that starting point |
| Controlled | value | your component |
Both take a single number as well as an array of values, and onChange fires in both modes — so you can watch the state without taking it over. A native reset of the form puts back the values the slider started with and calls onChange when that moves a handle; a controlled slider only asks for its first value there.
Uncontrolled
Give the slider a starting point and let it manage itself.
<CRangeSlider defaultValue={[20, 80]} />Controlled
Pass value and the slider is fully controlled: it renders exactly what you pass, and dragging a handle only fires onChange. Feed the change back and the handle follows; ignore it and the handle stays on your value.

Each handle is a native <input type="range">, so it is a slider with its value, minimum and maximum without any ARIA of its own, and the browser handles the keyboard: the arrow keys, Page Up, Page Down, Home and End. In a vertical slider the handles carry aria-orientation="vertical", and → increases the value in every browser, as ↑ does.
The slider is a group. Give it the name of the field, with aria-labelledby pointing at a visible label or with aria-label: a screen reader announces the group, “Budget”, when the focus enters it, and then each handle by its own name, so it can tell the handles of one slider from another’s. A single handle repeats the name of the group, since it has none of its own. aria-describedby describes every handle. Name the handles themselves with ariaLabel: an array with one name per handle, or a function (index, total) => string. Without it, two handles are named “Minimum value” and “Maximum value” and more handles “Value 1”, “Value 2” and so on. A single handle has no generated name: it takes the name of the group, followed by its ariaLabel when it has one, or a <label> for its id. A role you pass replaces group on the slider. While a handle sits on a tick labelled with text, its aria-valuetext adds the label to the value (“50, Medium”, or the tooltipsFormat text followed by the label when they differ).
Tooltips and tick marks are hidden from assistive technology (aria-hidden="true"): a tooltip repeats the value the handle already announces, and a tick label reaches the handle through aria-valuetext while the handle sits on its tick.
