Usage

This section includes guidelines for designers and developers about the usage of this component in different contexts.

Do

  • Use to let user specify a numeric value using a slider.
  • Use when the accuracy of the numeric value entered isn’t important.
  • Always use with a label, even if that label is hidden.

Don’t

  • Don’t use when the accuracy of the numeric value entered is important.
  • For entering arbitrary numeric values. Use input component instead.

Content guidelines

Range labels act as a title for the range input. Labels should typically be short and in noun form:

Lightness percentage
What is the lightness percentage?

When writing range labels, always write them in sentence case, not title case. The first word should be capitalized and the rest lowercase (unless a proper noun):

Item price
Item Price

Do not use colons in range label:

Color depth
Color depth:
