<gameface-slider class="gameface-slider-component"></gameface-slider>

This is all! Load the file in Gameface to see the gameface-slider.

Usage with JavaScript:

If you wish to import the Slider using JavaScript you can remove the script tag and import it like this:

import { Slider } from 'coherent-gameface-slider';

or simply

import 'coherent-gameface-slider';

Note that this approach requires a module bundler like Webpack or Rollup to resolve the modules from the node_modules folder.

Add the Styles

<link rel="stylesheet" href="coherent-gameface-components-theme.css">
<link rel="stylesheet" href="styles/horizontal.css">
<link rel="stylesheet" href="styles/vertical.css">

To overwrite the default styles, simply create new rules for the class names that you wish to change and include them after the default styles.

Updating the slider's state

You are able to dynamically update the slider state for the following properties:

• orientation - How the slider is oriented. Either 'horizontal' or 'vertical'.
• step - The scroll step of the slider that is used when scrolling with the mouse. The value provided should be a number. Negative values are also accepted and they can be used to invert the scroll direction.

You can set them via setAttribute or directly using the setters like slider.orientation = 'horizontal'.

For example:

const slider = document.querySelector('gameface-slider');

slider.orientation = 'horizontal'; // or 'vertical'. If the passed value is not supported - the slider will fallback to default one - 'vertical'
// Or
slider.setAttribute('orientation', 'horizontal');

slider.step = 20; // If you want to invert the mouse wheel you can set negative value. For example -20.
// Or
slider.setAttribute('step', '20');

You can get the current orientation or step in the following way:

console.log(slider.orientation);
console.log(slider.step);

You can also update the current handle position of the slider using the scrollTo method. It receives one argument that is the new position of the handle in percent.

slider.scrollTo(50); // Will set the handle to position that is 50% of the available scroll bar area.
