Sliders allow users to make selections from a range of values. Material UI for React has this component available for us and it is very easy to integrate. We can use the Slider Component in ReactJS using the following approach:

Creating React Application And Installing Module:

Step 1: Create a React application using the following command:

npx create-react-app foldername

Step 2: After creating your project folder i.e. foldername, move to it using the following command:

cd foldername

Step 3: After creating the ReactJS application, Install the material-ui modules using the following command:

npm install @mui/material
npm install @mui/icons-material

Project Structure: It will look like the following.

Project Structure

Example 1: In this example, we will create a simple application that uses the Slider component to select a particular value along a subjective range of values. Please update the file App.js like the below:

Filename: App.js 

Javascript




import React from 'react';
import { Grid, Slider, Typography } from '@mui/material';
import { VolumeDown, VolumeUp } from '@mui/icons-material';
  
const App = () => {
  
    // Our States
    const [value, setValue] = React.useState(10);
  
    // Changing State when volume increases/decreases
    const changeVolume = (event, newValue) => {
        setValue(newValue);
    };
  
    return (
        <div style={{
            margin: 'auto',
            display: 'block',
            width: 'fit-content'
        }}>
            <h3>How to use Slider Component in ReactJS?</h3>
            <Typography id="continuous-slider" gutterBottom>
                Volume
            </Typography>
            <Grid container spacing={4}>
                <Grid item>
                    <VolumeDown />
                </Grid>
                <Grid item xs>
                    <Slider value={value}
                        onChange={changeVolume}
                    />
                </Grid>
                <Grid item>
                    <VolumeUp />
                </Grid>
            </Grid>
        </div>
    );
}
  
export default App;
