input-slider.R

#' Slider Input Widget
#'
#' Constructs a slider widget to select a number, date, or date-time from a
#' range.
#'
#' @inheritParams textInput
#' @param min,max The minimum and maximum values (inclusive) that can be
#'   selected.
#' @param value The initial value of the slider, either a number, a date
#'   (class Date), or a date-time (class POSIXt). A length one vector will
#'   create a regular slider; a length two vector will create a double-ended
#'   range slider. Must lie between `min` and `max`.
#' @param step Specifies the interval between each selectable value on the
#'   slider. Either `NULL`, the default, which uses a heuristic to determine the
#'   step size or a single number. If the values are dates, `step` is in days;
#'   if the values are date-times, `step` is in seconds.
#' @param round `TRUE` to round all values to the nearest integer;
#'   `FALSE` if no rounding is desired; or an integer to round to that
#'   number of digits (for example, 1 will round to the nearest 10, and -2 will
#'   round to the nearest .01). Any rounding will be applied after snapping to
#'   the nearest step.
#' @param ticks `FALSE` to hide tick marks, `TRUE` to show them
#'   according to some simple heuristics.
#' @param animate `TRUE` to show simple animation controls with default
#'   settings; `FALSE` not to; or a custom settings list, such as those
#'   created using [animationOptions()].
#' @param sep Separator between thousands places in numbers.
#' @param pre A prefix string to put in front of the value.
#' @param post A suffix string to put after the value.
#' @param dragRange This option is used only if it is a range slider (with two
#'   values). If `TRUE` (the default), the range can be dragged. In other
#'   words, the min and max can be dragged together. If `FALSE`, the range
#'   cannot be dragged.
#' @param timeFormat Only used if the values are Date or POSIXt objects. A time
#'   format string, to be passed to the Javascript strftime library. See
#'   <https://github.com/samsonjs/strftime> for more details. The allowed
#'   format specifications are very similar, but not identical, to those for R's
#'   [base::strftime()] function. For Dates, the default is `"%F"`
#'   (like `"2015-07-01"`), and for POSIXt, the default is `"%F %T"`
#'   (like `"2015-07-01 15:32:10"`).
#' @param timezone Only used if the values are POSIXt objects. A string
#'   specifying the time zone offset for the displayed times, in the format
#'   `"+HHMM"` or `"-HHMM"`. If `NULL` (the default), times will
#'   be displayed in the browser's time zone. The value `"+0000"` will
#'   result in UTC time.
#' @inheritParams selectizeInput
#' @family input elements
#' @seealso [updateSliderInput()]
#'
#' @examples
#' ## Only run examples in interactive R sessions
