Slider

Lets users select a single value or a range from a continuous scale by dragging a thumb along a track. Supports any number of thumbs and both orientations.

Basic usage

Pass a single-element defaultValue array for an uncontrolled single-thumb slider. The thumb count comes from the value array — with neither value nor defaultValue you get two thumbs sitting at [min, max].

Range

Provide two values to render two thumbs that define a lower and upper bound — ideal for price or date ranges.

Steps & disabled

Use step to snap to coarser increments, and disabled to make the control read-only.

Vertical

Set orientation="vertical" for mixer-style controls. The root swaps to a column, stretches to the parent's height and keeps a min-h-44 floor, so give it a sized container.

Controlled

Hold the value in state and read it back next to the track. onValueChange fires on every movement, while onValueCommit fires only when a drag ends (and once per keyboard step) — use the second one for anything expensive such as a network request. minStepsBetweenThumbs stops the two handles from crossing.

Props

Prop	Type	Default	Description
`defaultValue`	number[]	—	Uncontrolled starting value — one number per thumb. With neither value nor defaultValue the slider renders two thumbs at [min, max].
`value`	number[]	—	Controlled value. When set, you must update it via onValueChange.
`onValueChange`	(value: number[]) => void	—	Fires continuously as the thumb is dragged or moved with the keyboard.
`onValueCommit`	(value: number[]) => void	—	Fires at the end of an interaction — on pointer up after a drag, and on each keyboard step.
`min`	number	`0`	Minimum allowed value.
`max`	number	`100`	Maximum allowed value.
`step`	number	`1`	Stepping interval the thumb snaps to.
`minStepsBetweenThumbs`	number	`0`	Minimum number of steps two thumbs must keep between them in a range slider.
`orientation`	'horizontal' \| 'vertical'	`'horizontal'`	Layout direction of the track. Vertical fills the parent height and floors at min-h-44.
`inverted`	boolean	`false`	Flips which end of the track the filled range grows from.
`dir`	'ltr' \| 'rtl'	—	Reading direction for a horizontal track.
`disabled`	boolean	`false`	Prevents interaction and reduces opacity to 50%.
`name`	string	—	Name for the hidden inputs submitted with a native form.
`form`	string	—	Associates those hidden inputs with a form elsewhere in the document.
`aria-label · aria-labelledby`	string	—	With one thumb, set on the role=slider thumb — the element that takes focus. With two or more, left on the root, which has no role; Radix names those thumbs itself (Minimum and Maximum for a range). Before 3.0.1 always on the root, so a single thumb went unnamed.
`className`	string	—	Additional Tailwind classes to merge onto the root.
`...rest`	Radix Slider.Root props	—	Everything else is forwarded to the Radix root.

Accessibility

Built on Radix UI Slider — each thumb is a focusable element with role="slider" and the correct aria-valuemin, aria-valuemax, and aria-valuenow.
Fully keyboard operable: Arrow keys move by one step, Page Up/Page Down by a larger amount, and Home/End jump to the bounds.
Each thumb shows a visible focus-visible ring using the brand gold ring token, plus a wider hover:ring-4 halo that makes the grab target obvious with a mouse.
Name every single-thumb slider, as the demos here do: aria-label or aria-labelledby passed to Slider goes to the role="slider" thumb, the element that takes focus — point aria-labelledby at the id of a visible label when there is one. Before 3.0.1 both landed on the root span, which carries no ARIA role, and the thumb had no name at all. A range keeps them on the root, where they are not announced; Radix names its thumbs Minimum/Maximum, so put a visible Label beside the track to keep the purpose in reading order.
The three parts use the same control tokens as Switch and Checkbox instead of the raw palette: track bg-slider-track, filled range bg-control-on, thumb bg-control-knob with a border-control-on outline. On the high-contrast palette that is 3.83–4.94:1 for the track and 6.51–12.67:1 for the range against the page — the earlier bg-muted track scored 1.07:1 and effectively disappeared in light mode.
Filled range against the empty track is only 1.70–2.57:1, and that is deliberate — thumb position is what carries the value, and both colours clear 3:1 against the page and against the thumb. No colour pair satisfies every constraint at once on a white page.
