Slider lets users choose a numeric value, or a start and end range, by dragging thumb controls along a track. Use it when approximate visual adjustment is better than typing.
Good examples include volume, opacity, zoom, size, threshold, percentage, rating or score, price range, numeric date or age range, chart settings, visual tuning, and filter ranges. Use input ngsSliderThumb for one value, or input ngsSliderStartThumb and input ngsSliderEndThumb for a range.
Do not use Slider to show progress or status, enter exact numbers as the primary workflow, choose named categories, compare before and after images, paginate, or build table sorting logic. Use ProgressBar, Gauge, NumberInput, Select, Radio, Segmented, ComparisonSlider, Paginator, or Sort when those match the job better. If the value must be exact, pair Slider with NumberInput or use NumberInput instead.
